A bull call spread plus one more short call higher up. The extra premium cuts the entry cost — sometimes to a credit — in exchange for losses if the stock rips past the top strike.
Bullish to a level, confident it stops there. Best after a run-up when upside calls are bid and you are happy to fade the extreme.
UNLIMITED above the top strike — the naked short call. A takeover rumor turns the "confident it stops there" assumption expensive fast.
