Opening (IRA): TQQQ August 16th 71 Covered Call... for a 68.76 debit.
Comments:
Buying stock and selling a -75 delta call against to emulate the delta metrics of a 25 delta short put with the built-in defense of the short call. As usual, this only makes sense in a cash secured environment where you don't get much BP relief going with the short put over the covered call; on margin -- stick with the short put.
Metrics:
Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 68.76/share
Max Profit: 2.24/contract
ROC at Max: 3.26%
50% Max: 1.12/contract
ROC at 50% Max: 1.63%
Will generally look to take profit at 50%, roll out the short call on side or break even test. (It's entirely possible that I will regret this trade later).
