Is it a good strategy for day trading options?(covered calls ) and could you please make a video covered calls on mobile app version?

[@leonguerra1785]

No, covered call works best as passive income and has the least risk in comparison to regular calls and put options, it doesn’t work as a day trading strategy.

You have two iron clad variables # 1 strike price and #2 xpiry the strike must be met irredardless period

[@jamesdowis2346]

So in doing this can you be forced to sell before the contract date if the stock were to go above the price the call price was set at before that date?

[@millcityblaze1978]

I don't understand, how can it be this easy? Why isn't everyone rich from this? Buy 100 shares of a stock that is dying, keep selling covered calls as strike prices you know it can't hit and keep the premium and the stock and repeat every 14-30 days. Am I missing something?

[@jamesdowis2346]

Exactly what I'm thinking. I have a stock that I know is going to go down and this looks like a good way to keep them but lower my cost average.

[@mjoygreen6592]

@@jamesdowis2346 some one has to buy your dying stock before it woks

[@sjaw100]

If it is a dying stock, you will get minimal premium as no one in the market.

[@Miller.montana]

Question: as we placed our order for 1 call option on the 100 shares and the quantity said 1 next to it says shares so did we execute this order correctly?? Shouldn’t it be 100 if a standard contract represents 100 shares??

[@jamesdowis2346]

1 contract is 100 shares of whatever you're selling or buying. The 1 stands for the contract
