Opening (IRA): TQQQ August 16th 73 Monied Covered Call... for a 70.80 debit.
Comments: High IV at 55%. Buying a one lot and selling a -75 call against in the August 16th monthly to emulate the delta metrics of a 25 delta short put, but with built-in short call defense. I looked at doing something in the 45 DTE wheelhouse, which would be the August 30th expiry, but it was less liquid than the monthly, so opted to go shorter duration, with the plan being to roll out to the September monthly should we get further weakness and/or a test of 73. Otherwise, I'll look to just take profit at my standard 50% max.
Metrics:
Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 70.80
Max Profit: 2.20
ROC at Max: 3.11%
50% Max: 1.10
ROC at 50% Max: 1.55%
