Opening (IRA): PLTR May 16th 90 Covered Call

Mar 3

... for a 76.56 debit.

Comments: After taking off my iron condor for a loss, structuring a covered call such that the max profit potential is greater than the loss experienced by the nondirectional of 13.11.

Metrics:

Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 76.56
Max Profit: 13.44
ROC at Max: 17.55%

Will generally look to roll out the short call out and/or down and out at intervals to increase profit potential and/or reduce downside break even ... .

Note

Rolling the May 17th 90 down to the Sept 19th 85 for a 7.22 credit; 69.34 break even.

Trade closed manually

Closing this out for a realized gain in order to go with a shorter duration setup. Closed for a 71.27 credit; 1.93 ($193) realized gain. 13.11 - 1.93 - 11.18 to go to be net net break even on this underlying, so will structure a setup out in May with at least 11.18 in max profit potential.
