DETAILS FOR THIS COVERED CALL TRADE
Today a NEW Covered Call position was opened using DPST
When the stock was trading for $131.1 a share , I Sold (10) (OTM) Covered Call contracts(s) using (1000) shares for the Sep - 4 Expiration Date, $136.00 Strike Price receiving a Premium of $1.1 or $1100 in upfront cash flow.
Further commentary as to why I opened this trade
DPST (3x Leverage ETF to the Regional Banks) yesterday's buy back and hope that maybe we get a reversal for this week to sell another CC this week paid off as DPST is +5 so we can another $1,100 out of these 99D long calls ... would love to be out of the position at my cost $136

THIS TRADE WAS PLACED INSIDE MY TAXABLE ACCOUNT
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.
-50% , -10% RULES (PRICES WHEN I MIGHT BUY BACK)
Premium-50% Rule10% Rule
$1.10$0.55$0.11
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?
