| Today, (20) Covered Call contracts were bought back on WHY I CLOSED this (ticker: SOXL) for the (March)-13-2026 Expiration Date, $52.5 Strike Price for a Premium of $1.3 > SOXL was trading for $48.6 a share. Because I bought this option back early, I did not make max profit. The final profit / cash flow collected it posted below. Instead of making the original premium, I collected $0.8 or 1.52% of the total projected cash flow for this trade. | |||||||||

| Further commentary as to why I opened this trade > | |||||||||
| SOXL (3x Leveraged ETF to the Semiconductors ) > BUYING BACK the Cash Secured Put at -.01 cent time value cost , then buying the shares at the exact price ($52.50) where the CSP buy back happened, I preserve my Cash Secured Premium as I would be assigned anyway ... I will use this $57 as my cost basis to preserve the $57 cost basis ... meaning, my cost basis IS $57 and I will trade these shares accordingly | |||||||||
| > 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? | NO | ||||||||
| Try to avoid Earnings Reports > Earnings can be a stocks most volitile 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-DATE | NO | ||||||||
| 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. | |||||||||

| 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. | |||||||||

| How much (if any) am I down on the shares ? | -$10,880.00 | ||||||||
| What does this mean? I'm currently DOWN on the shares purchase by this much ... I DO NOT use CC Prems for cost basis reduction ... so this is what I down on the stock right now or as of this trade | |||||||||
 | HOW YOU WOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS TRADE | | |||||||
| BUY SHARES > SELL CALL | |||||||||
| For this trade, I already own the shares, so my total profit may or may not include stock appreciation. In your case, you would purchase the shares outright at the current trading price I’ve provided. You would then proceed to sell a near-term covered call, aiming to achieve the same premium for the same strike price and expiration date. | |||||||||
| OF COURSE, this is all projected and the final results could have you LOSING MONEY. Ensure you understand this trade and that it meets your risk tolerance. I wish you good luck. | |||||||||
