Opening (IRA): IWM March 15th 186 Monied Covered Call
... for a 181.70 debit.
Comments: Buying stock and selling the -75 call again to emulate a 25 delta short put that is "defense ready" via roll of the short call.
4.30 ($430) max on buying power effect of 181.70; 2.37% ROC at max; 1.18% at 50% max.
Will generally look to take profit at 50% max and/or roll out the short call on price's traverse of the short call strike to reduce cost basis further.

Trade closed manually:
Taking profit a smidge short of 50% max, particularly because this is my most "at risk" setup. In for an 181.70 debit; out for a 183.70 credit. 2.00 ($200) profit.
Still have the March 15th 183 and April 19th 176 CC's on ... (along with a couple short puts).
