When this trade makes sense

Use when

  • You have cash to buy 100 shares at the strike
  • You'd be happy owning the stock at the strike price
  • You think the stock holds or drifts up
  • IV rank is elevated — premiums are rich

Avoid when

  • You think the stock is about to drop hard
  • You don't actually want to own the stock
  • Earnings are inside the expiration window
  • Premiums are unusually low — nothing to collect
