As a starting point, consider a LEAPS call that is at least 20\% of the stock price in-the-money. (For example, if the underlying stock costs $100, buy a call with a strike price of $80 or lower.) However, for particularly volatile stocks, you may need to go deeper in-the-money to get the delta you’re looking for.
When should I sell long calls?
