Hi Greg: In answer to your question, I usually pick a strike whereby the underlying has to go up around 15-20% for me to break even by expiration. Oftentimes this results in a strike that is about 80% of the current stock price. This is not a set rule as this can vary greatly depending on the stock, its action at the time, expiration date, etc., as you know. I sometimes go deeper ITM, but usually I start by looking at those at about 80%.

Also, remember that I mainly buy calls with expirations 4-6 months out.
