Opened (IRA): EWW Oct 18th 50 Monied Covered Call
Updated
... for a 49.02 debit.
Comments: Selling the -75 call against stock to emulate the delta metrics of a 25 delta short put, but with the built-in defense of the short call. The IV isn't fantastic here at 29.8%, but the ROC is kind of what I'm minimally looking for out of this sort of play, so putting on a small position here, particularly since the underlying isn't all that far off its 52-week low.
Metrics:
Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 49.02
Max Profit: .98
ROC at Max: 2.0%
50% Max: .49
ROC at 50% max: 1.0%
Generally, will look to take profit at 50% max, roll short call for duration and credit on side test.
