COVERED CALL
DETAILS FOR THIS COVERED CALL TRADE
Today, (5) Covered Call contract(s) were bought back on Direxion Daily Regional Banks Bull 3X ETF (ticker: DPST) Because I bought this option back early, I did not make max profit. The final profit / cash flow collected is posted below. Note, instead of making the original premium profit projection of ~$3 per share or $9, I collected less which equaled ~$775 of the total projected cash flow for this trade.
COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE
WHY I CLOSED this PMCC Trade on > DPST
This position is down over 50%, with DPST down nearly 4% today. I’m going to take this off the board for now and reevaluate the setup. > We may wait for the stock to move a bit higher before re-entering. Our current cost basis is $117, and I may look to add LEAPS call options to the position to help bring that cost basis down.

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

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.

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
