$Steel Dynamics(STLD)$

- Underlying: STLD

- View: Bullish, but expecting consolidation near $211.75 before a potential move higher. Aims to participate in further upside with defined and limited risk.

- Strategy Type: Directional Bullish / Defined Risk Debit Spread

- Option Contract Portfolio:

- Buy 1x STLD 18 Jun 2026 $210 Call

- Sell 1x STLD 18 Jun 2026 $225 Call

- Max Gain & Loss: Max Gain = $1,500, Max Loss = $350 (per spread)

- Initial Cost/Income: Net Debit of ~$3.50 (simulated from chain: $14.35 - $10.00 = $4.35, adjusted for liquidity and bid/ask)

- Greek Exposure (Simulated):

- Delta: +0.11 (Positive, bullish)

- Theta: -0.004 (Slightly negative, small time decay cost)

- Vega: +0.002 (Slightly positive, benefits from IV increase)

- Gamma: ~0.011

- Rho: ~0.03

- Strategy Rationale: This is a cost-effective way to express a bullish view with controlled risk. The long call at $210 (near the current price) provides upside exposure. The short call at $225 (above the $220-$225 target zone) finances part of the trade, reducing the initial debit and defining the maximum profit. It has a positive Delta for bullish direction, minimal negative Theta impact, and a very small positive Vega. The maximum loss is limited to the initial debit. The strategy profits if STLD is above ~$213.50 at expiry, with max profit achieved at $225 or above.

- Time Frame: Medium-Term (to June expiry)
