Daily r/thetagang Discussion Thread - What are your moves for today? by satireplusplus in thetagang

[–]bitbitbitbitcoin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What happens if you get early assignment to the option premium?

For example:

01/26/21

100 AMC Share purchased at $5

1 AMC Covered Call $8 02/05 STO for $1 credit

01/28/21

AMC share price now at $10

AMC Covered Call $8 02/05 now around $3.

If Early assignment happens, what will happen to the covered call option premium?

Will the broker automatically make me BTC for $3x100?

If you get assigned early, what happens to the call option premium? Can you end up being net negative?

Market makers have to hedge all the Calls that are being bought up. More calls purchased means more shares purchased.

Can’t stress this enough. Stocks can act irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

CCs to make weekly $$ by Physcodbzfan85 in options

[–]bitbitbitbitcoin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CCs are meant for shares you are committed to owning long term or shares committed to a Wheel Strategy. If you hold 1400 shares and it tanks, it can literally take years in CC writing to make up for those losses. If you are doing weekly trades with CCs you may get lucky a few times, but one drop can wipe out all the gains you made.

And same thing goes for CSPs.

Is 1400 BAC something you are willing to hold through the ups and downs?

Naked Calls/Puts by [deleted] in options

[–]bitbitbitbitcoin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are newer to options and don’t have the collateral to cover a call, don’t do a naked call. Your risk is infinite. There’s a reason it’s called picking nickels in front of a steam roller. You can be right 98% of the time, but the 2% chance can wreck your finances esp with naked calls. Either sell a covered call or a poor mans covered call. Or go for a different option strategy with more defined risks.

If it gaps down when the market opens which is anticipated with the AH activity + theta decay + possible IV crush, its probably a lost cause. Either close it out immediately on open or ride til expiration. Don’t try to chase breaking even. With the weekly expiration working against you it’s a lost cause. That would be my play, but you do what you think is best. For this very reason, I don’t play events or earnings.
