COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I CLOSED THIS TRADE
WHY I CLOSED this CSP on > BITX
This BITX trade closes after (8) days of being on for reasons I outline below. We close this making 88% of the possible cash secured put premium ... we have 1 full day to use this cash for another trade ... probably using BITX again with a lower strike ... just that easy

LETTING MONEY BUILD THE ACCOUNT SIZE
Because this is in my non-taxable account I'm just going to use the premium to build the account size to make more premium versus buying dividend paying funds will save that for all my taxable accounts and with no tax implications we're not going to put any money in the tax bucket either

COVERED CALL
DETAILS FOR THIS COVERED CALL TRADE
Today a NEW Covered Call position was opened using (DPST)
Direxion Daily Regional Banks Bull 3X Shares was trading for $88.76 a share when I placed this trade. I then sold (10) Covered Call contract(s) using/controlling (1000) shares for the Aug-29-2025 Expiration Date, $97.5 Strike Price receiving a Premium of $3.6 or $3,600 in up front cash flow to begin this trade. I used a LIMIT ORDER trying to gain the MID price which in this case I was able.

WHAT IF YOUR SHARES ARE TAKEN? (CLOSEOUT LEAPS SOLD)
If my shares are taken, that means the stock has moved above my strike price of $97.5 which means I will make both the Covered Call Premium of $3.6 and I will basically have to SELL my LEAPS call option which is projected to be priced at $63.95. This will result in a profit as my LEAPS will be sold higher then where I bought it. I will have used this LEAPS call option for (1) trade(s).

General plan for my Covered Call Write Cash on Cash % investments > I like to generate a 3% Cash on Cash return on my money invested ... depending on the timeframe ... 1 week, 1% is ok but if 30 days I want more like 3 to 4% preferred
COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE
WHY I OPENED this PMCC Trade on > DPST
This trade on dollars which represents 6.58% premium profit on money invested. Should my shares be taken I could make more, break even of lose money based on where my LEAPS Call Option is priced (see below for those calculations)
Further commentary and feelings on this trade
DPST (3X Leveraged ETF to the Regional Banks ) > DPST has filled a prior gap from $88 to $107 ... getting involved at this key support level , although not guarenteed but is about the best starting point for a PMCC campagine ... DPST could fall further ... but with Jan 2025 being my LEAPS Call Option expire date I feel I have time for this to recovery even if it continued to fall... the regional banks in this country are not going out of business ... so this trade is a monthly OTM CC until I get out 100% green on both the CC Prems and the LEAPS Call Option pricing
With this new Strike Price, what is the projected LEAPS Value?
If this trades as its projected, I will make money on the LEAPS Call Option > IF my shares are taken at this strike price, my expected LEAPS value will be $63.95 , my cost basis is $-54.7
> as with every trade, I will manage this trade as it approaches expiration ... buying back the option if it adheres to my -50% and 0.10 cent guidelines. -50% guideline being, such this option price fall 50% or more in the first 2 weeks I will buy back and look to roll the option - if the this option falls to 0.10 or less (in most cases) I will buy back the option and roll it for another credit if it presents itself.
GOLDEN RULES OF COVERED CALL WRITING (AVOIDING EARNINGS)
WILL THEY HAVE EARNINGS?Verify-DPSTNO
Try to avoid Earnings Reports > Earnings can be a stocks most volatile moment so its important to try to avoid writing a covered call thru or near earnings. Even great stocks can move +/- 10% on earnings
GOLDEN RULES OF COVERED CALL WRITING (DIVIDEND EX-DATE)
WILL COMPANY HAVE AN EX-DATEVerify-DPSTNO
Try to avoid EX-Dates > Companies that have dividends will trade differently in and around its EX-Date ... keep this in mind when writing a covered call as you might have your shares taken if its profitable for the Call Buyer.
-50% , -10% RULES (PRICES WHEN I MIGHT BUY BACK)
Premium-50% Rule10% Rule
$3.60$1.80$0.36
What does this mean? If within the first week the option falls 50% I will buy back the option and look to roll for another credit ... if the option falls to 10% of the value, I will buy back and roll.
