If you are looking long calls;
would avoid the weak semisector for most all time frames.
And whether you are thinking inside the BOX or outside the BOX;
prefer underlyings and ITM, or ATM or ITM that i have sheets/paperwork on.
Hope this helps.

Mind to explain? Thanks!

Isn't 'Calendar Spreads' more for volatility bets, then how to use Calendar Spread as a vehicle to bet on direction??
Thanks in advance!!
Without going into all the details, the way to play calendars as a directional bet is to set up OTM calendars. E.g. the stock is at 50 and you think it will go to 55 by some specific time, so can enter a 55 call calendar, thus creating a directional calendar.
