"How to Trade a Long Combo in Singapore ?"

In options trading for high-income investors in Singapore, one of the simplest ways to get strong bullish exposure without buying shares is the Long Combo strategy.

It behaves almost exactly like owning the stock — but uses far less capital, has cleaner risk, and gives you a powerful directional setup. This makes it extremely popular with experienced Singapore traders who want smarter exposure to the upside.

What Is a Long Combo? (Simple Explanation)

A Long Combo uses two options:

1️⃣ Buy an in-the-money call 2️⃣ Sell an out-of-the-money put

Same stock. Same expiration.

This creates a “synthetic long stock” effect at a much cheaper cost.

Why Traders Use It

✔ Strong bullish exposure ✔ Cheaper than buying 100 shares ✔ Lower risk than owning the stock ✔ Works perfectly with ~$1,000 per trade ✔ Defined exposure and cleaner adjustments

This is a favourite among professional options traders in Singapore who want efficient bullish setups.

Real ~$1,000 Example (AAPL)

AAPL at $190.

You might:

• Buy the 180 Call

• Sell the 175 Put

This creates a position that gains value quickly if Apple rises — without needing to spend $19,000 for 100 shares.

Upside behaves like stock. Downside is limited by using small sizing (~$1,000).

How You Profit

1️⃣ Stock rises

Your call gains value fast. Your short put expires worthless. ✔ Maximum profit scenario.

2️⃣ Stock stays flat

Your put premium offsets your call decay. ✔ Small loss or breakeven.

3️⃣ Stock drops

The short put creates downside risk. But because you size the trade at ~$1,000, losses remain controlled.
