Opening (IRA): XBI May 17th 88 Monied Covered Call
... for an 85.94 debit.
Comments: 32.5% 30-Day IV. Buying a one lot and selling a -75 delta call against to emulate a 25 short put, take advantage of call side IV skew, and to have built-in defense via the short call.
Metrics:
Cost Basis/Break Even/Buying Power Effect: 85.94
Delta/Theta: 28.5/4.31
Max Profit: 2.06 ($206)
ROC at Max: 2.40%
ROC at 50% Max: 1.20%
Will generally look to take profit on the entire setup (stock + short call) as a unit at 50% max; look to roll the short call for duration it hit 50% max at any time to reduce cost basis further; add short put, assuming I can get in at a strike with a lower break even than what I currently have on.
