NVDA C135 C150 C170 Covered calls. Shall I leave them or buy them back?
I have 3 covered calls NVDA \* C150 Apr25 (+9%) \* C170 May25 (+37%) \* C135 Apr25 (-80%) My average cost for the shares is 125 so even if they are exercised at 135 I still make money, but I'm more bullish now on NVDA so maybe I will buy …
Covered calls strategy - am I calculating incorrectly?
I've been seeing lots of posts elsewhere about covered calls (CCs) being a decent form of income for MSTR. I did a quick check and I think I've done something wrong because it seems like you could make ridiculous money with CCs. For example: I have just over 900 shares, …
Does anyone know the methodology Tastylive uses for their 0dte SPX backtests?
I tried to recreate the results from their latest **0DTE** backtest video (https://youtu.be/WYBlbIhiFG0) using **OptionOmega**, **GreeksLab** and **OptionAlpha** 0dte backtesters, but my results were significantly different from Tastylive. All platforms produced **similar outcomes**, yet Tastylive’s results seemed off compared to what I got. One of the main takeaways from their …
Versatile backtesting tool, using own data?
I pretty much like Mesosim where it's 'codable', and has all the bells and whistles of a backtesting tool. The only issue I have is that they only have a few tickers to trade. Are there any tools out there, that gives of a backtest like Mesosim, but I could …

Rolling ITM Covered Call
I sold some 135C, 139C, and 140C NVDA covered calls. NVDA is already well past 135. Instead of letting my shares called away, why wouldn't I just roll the 135C week over week instead of rolling it up? If we ignore earnings the 135C Feb 28 is 9.25 and 135C …
Bull Spreads vs Selling Covered Calls
Could someone explain the difference between these two scenarios? My understanding is they both achieve the same outcome of minimizing losses/confirming gains. I fully understand the selling of covered calls - but what about bull spreads? What nuances are there?
Issue with Assigned Vertical Credit Spreads
I opened two vertical credit spreads on TSLA and MSFT, both of which expired on 02/14/2025, and both were assigned on Friday morning. Unfortunately, it was a challenging day for me, as I had to attend a workshop meeting with my boss all day and didn’t have a chance to …
Exit strategy for Options Trade
My friend convinced me to sell my first covered call expiring February 21st and I’m having second thoughts. I bought 100 shares of a stock (intel), I sold a covered call (Sell to Open, Strike: $24, Quantity 1, Order type: market, type: cash). The stock is currently at $23.60 and …
10k of loaned money
TLDR: I (26) was loaned 10k with a 6 month term by a mentor who wanted to see the result. Been trading since about 2015, mostly boring dollar cost average. I dabbled in the dark arts from time to time but never really felt confident enough to want to trade …
