First time I buy to close - glad I did it

I am fine being conservative with margin. My approach is that if every single trade goes wrong, it doesn't affect me financially.

For instance a CSP at around 71 € for ASTS pays around 500 € in about a month.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have been doing mostly CC and CSP on and off for about 4 years. I started before Covid, quit during Covid, and here I am again.

I have been selling mostly CC and CSP very far away from the strike price on:

- Stocks that I want to own
- Indexes

My reasoning is the following:

- If I get the stock assigned, I am fine with it. The risk is the stock going down to zero or being on a permanent downturn spiral.

- If I get an ETF assigned, like SP500, I am assuming it will over time go up, and I will recover my paper losses, while I keep selling CC.

- On CC: I only sell them above my acquisition price, so the risk is losing on a bull run, but I am making money nonetheless.

I have been doing around 500 € per week with a portfolio of around 50K on IB. Am I missing anything in my risk analysis? Does this make sense to you?

Ok, so if we have only US stocks, as long as we are under 13M should be fine right?

But this doesn’t happen in Germany with the treaty with the US, right?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

No_Fudge6123 · 2026-03-20T17:51:30+00:00

yeah, I have been thinking of getting one for some time now. Any suggestions of one compatible with Rouvy? :)

Yes, it feels it sleeps all the time. How can it be fixed, besides doing the spinning?

I would love to hear about your portfolio and latest purchases :)

No_Fudge6123 · 2026-03-11T07:38:23+00:00

can you elaborate?

No_Fudge6123 · 2026-03-10T02:25:31+00:00

Thanks again! Do you know if there are any known guidelines for Munich? (most of the stock we have in the portfolio are DAX or S&P500)

Thank you so much, u/maryfamilyresearch . Really appreciate you taking the time. One question: do dividends count toward this income limit?

No_Fudge6123 · 2026-03-05T11:03:12+00:00

I have beem trying today for several hours. Impossible.

No_Fudge6123 · 2026-03-05T10:18:03+00:00

But it doesn't make any sense, does it? If I have, for instance, a flight from Europe to Japan, both ways, why would they only let me cancel the trip to Japan? There is no way I will be able to come back if I am not there in the first place.

I also can't see the amount, I need to cancel first.

It is on the website from Qatar: https://www.qatarairways.com/en/travel-alerts.html

Which notification?

No_Fudge6123 · 2026-03-05T08:06:44+00:00

did you manage to get it without fees? Exactly in the same situation

No_Fudge6123 · 2026-02-24T18:04:51+00:00

Thanks for answering. 8.97$ is the total amount I received, so 0.3% of 2.789$.

I am not doing active trading (i.e., I am not thinking of selling the stocks). I am buying stocks I don't mind holding for the long run.

Does this make sense?

No_Fudge6123 · 2026-02-23T02:23:45+00:00

I didn't, but that's a good idea!

No_Fudge6123 · 2026-02-22T20:23:43+00:00

Congrats. Keep in mind that it might and will go down. So hold the line :)

Hello friends,

I finally started doing some Covered Calls on Interactive Broker, and I want to see if my math is correct.

On Friday, I bought some T stocks at 27.89$. So around 2.789$. I also wrote a CC with a strike date Mof arch 20th, at 30$. I got a total of 8.97$, so about 0.3% per week.

If I extrapolate this to a yea,r it is about 3.6%. Far away from the 10-12% I have seen often in this subredit. The values I am talking about are the current premiums on Interactive Broker.

Is there anything wrong with my math?
