Selling covered calls on crypto might sound like a daunting task, but actually is quite easily doable. Unlike in the stock market, where actual shares are delivered when trading put or call options, in crypto things work a bit differently. The main difference between stock and crypto options - in crypto, options are settled in crypto itself, meaning there is no actual delivery of shares or crypto, just settlement. One way to trade covered calls with crypto would be to buy actual crypto on the…

Time after time I like to test some new trade ideas, and this time I decided to give it a try and test the so-called cash and carry trade with Ethereum. A cash-and-carry trade is an arbitrage strategy that exploits the mispricing between the underlying asset and its corresponding derivative. The key to profiting from this strategy is the eventual correction in that mispricing. Long story short, for the past couple of years I trade options with crypto on the Deribit trading platform with some…

Covered call writing is a popular investment strategy used by many investors to generate income on their existing stock portfolio. Covered Call is also one of my favorite options trading strategies, together with writing cash-secured put options. The strategy involves selling call options against stocks that you own, in exchange for receiving a premium payment.

Options trading can be a powerful way to generate income for traders who are willing to take on some additional risk. However, it’s important to note that options trading is not for everyone and requires a certain level of experience and expertise. Two of my favorite options trading strategies are cash-secured puts and covered calls. The best when implemented on dividend aristocrat stocks. I have played out with many other options trading strategies, like iron condors, straddles, and strangles…

For a long time, I couldn't find the answer to the question - to write cash-secured puts or write covered calls? Now, it seems I have found the answer. I like them both but prefer entering a trade with a cash-secured put. Thus getting a better entry price and collecting a premium upfront. Great for income-hungry investors. In this article, I decided to take a look at 3 stock names I actually trade options with AMZN, BAC, and INTC. All but, AMZN, also are dividend-paying stocks, meaning if you…

Adjusting a covered call on crypto is similar to adjusting a covered call on any other asset. A covered call is a popular options trading strategy where an investor holds a long position in an asset and sells a call option on that same asset to generate income. If the underlying asset is a cryptocurrency, the same principles apply, but there are a few additional factors to consider. On March 10, 2023, I established a covered call position with Ethereum on the Deribit trading platform, I…
