I do NOT trade to maximize returns. My goal is to consistently achieve target returns and minimize drawdowns for smoother growth (and …
Covered Call did too well the first market day
Last week I was assigned the shares @$87 for my ALAB $93 Put. Who knew stock prices crash after a great earnings report? I wasn't worried because I knew I would just sell a covered call with the shares. This morning (02/18/2025) I sold a covered cover FEB-28 @ $96. …

Super new, tried to place a NKE call Sunday night for $75. Market was closed Monday, and prices shot up Tuesday morning. I think that it didn’t go through because prices were already to $75 at the open. But I don’t know how or what I should have done better …
Do I buy down my Average if it goes up over night?
Deciding what to do at open? Not to sure honestly part of me thinks there’s no way it goes up. China/ Europe Always follow the trend of the US market so hopefully it goes down we’ll see. It’s dropped after hours so I’m not down 23% anymore. It’s about like …
