Best long call strategies

I’ve invested into a number of different stocks and I also made good money off of crypto 24-25’… A lot of that money off crypto I’ve reinvested into long terms. Months ago I started studying options and futures. I’m not one to risk a lot for a short term call. Also not big on crypto futures. I want something where I don’t have to feel on edge happy one day then aggravated the next. I’m not looking for an insane return i’m looking for steady growth faster than just investing in stocks. I’ve lost over $1200 this far. I’ve had really good days, really bad weeks. I normally start off small and make great calls, do my due diligence, research everything and I end up putting more in and one stupid play later I’m back even or down a little for the week. I would like some different ideas and strategies if anyone has any out there, thanks.
