Questions and Answers

What Is a Covered Call?

The term covered call refers to a financial transaction in which the investor selling call options owns an equivalent amount of the underlying security.

How to make extra profits by selling covered call

Strategy applicable group:

Hold the positive shares mentioned in the strategy, hold a position of ≥100.

How do I know if a covered call has been completed:

The presence of the word portfolio next to the name of an open stock or option indicates the execution of a covered strategy.

Strategic income:

An annualized return is calculated based on yesterday's closing price by referring to the option strategy filter rule.

(premium per share / yesterday's closing price) * (No. of days in 1 year / duration of option in days)

For example, yesterday's closing price is $100 , the option premium is $1 and expires 30 days from now. Putting it into the equation (1/100) * (365/30) = 12.17% per annum.

Exercise pric:

The option price is calculated according to yesterday's closing price by referring to the option strategy screening rule. Whether to trade at the strike price provided in the strategy depends on how far the share price diverges from the closing price.

Exercise:

Shares held at expiration are sold at a price above the strike price. The stock price on the expiration date is lower than the exercise price, the stock held does not move, the value of the option goes to zero and is automatically cleared by the system.

Risk warning:

If the stock price on the expiration date is higher than the strike price, and the position cost price is higher than the strike price, the stock sold due to counterparty exercising of the option may cause losses.
