DETAILS FOR THIS COVERED CALL TRADE
Today a NEW Covered Call position was opened using TQQQ
When the stock was trading for $66.47 a share , I Sold (10) (OTM) Covered Call contracts(s) using (1000) shares for the Jul-31 Expiration Date, $69.00 Strike Price receiving a Premium of $2.15 or $2150 in upfront cash flow.
Further commentary as to why I opened this trade
TQQQ (3x leveraged ETF to Nasdaq) - Simple OTM trade as our cost basis is $69 ... we use that as our strike and take what the market gives me and $2,150 for a week ? I like that. > NEW rolled 99 Delta affords us 2 more weeks ... I paid ZERO in TV so this is crazy!!! I love , based on the time I purchased (things were moving fast) > The 99 Delta that supports this trade expires > Aug-7 so we have some time left to premium harvest this 99 Delta long call option.

THIS TRADE WAS PLACED INSIDE MY NON-TAXABLE IRA ACCOUNT
NO EARNINGS DURING THIS TIMEFRAME
NO EX-DIVIDEND DATE DURING THIS TIMEFRAME
GOLDEN RULES OF COVERED CALL WRITING (AVOIDING EARNINGS)
WILL THEY HAVE EARNINGS?NO
WILL COMPANY HAVE AN EX-DATENO
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 > 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.
WHAT IF MY "SHARES" ARE TAKEN? (ie, ASSIGNED)
What if my shares were expectedly taken on this trade prior to expiration or I didn't manage it correctly by ending the trade early if I didn't want my shares taken prior to the expire date?
