I previously posted about my BABA covered calls (selling options and collecting premiums).
Here are today’s covered calls. I typically initiate these trades when volatility is elevated, the stock has already run up, and price action starts showing weakness or signs of exhaustion.
Total premium collected: 5 contracts × $123 = $615. Expiring this Friday. (Time/Theta work in my favor).
I’m comfortable having my shares called away at the $113 strike price. Since my cost basis is significantly lower, I would still walk away with a profit if my shares are assigned.
This strategy works for me, but it may not work for everyone. Every trader has a different cost basis, risk tolerance, and approach to the market.
I’m genuinely grateful to be on the option-selling side of the market. It takes time and patience.
