💡 Options Trading Trick: The “Covered Call” Strategy 💡
🔐 What is a Covered Call?
A Covered Call is an easy, low-risk strategy where you earn extra money (called a premium) from assets you already own by selling a call option. Let’s break it down:
🔑 How Does It Work?
1️⃣ You Own the Asset: First, you need to own some shares of a stock or cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin, for example).
2️⃣ Sell a Call Option: You then sell a "call option" to someone else. This gives them the right to buy your asset at a specific price (called the "strike price") within a set period. You charge them a fee (the premium) for this right.
3️⃣ Collect the Premium: If the asset's price stays below the strike price by the expiration date, you keep the asset and the premium fee.
4️⃣ What If It Goes Up?: If the asset price rises above the strike price, you have to sell it at that agreed price, but you still keep the premium as extra profit.
📊 Example:
You own 1 Bitcoin (BTC), which is currently worth $35,000.
You sell a call option with a strike price of $40,000.
Someone pays you $500 premium for the right to buy your Bitcoin at $40,000 within the next month.
Scenario 1 (Price stays below $40,000): If Bitcoin’s price stays below $40,000 by the end of the month, you keep your Bitcoin and the $500 premium. Easy money! 💰
Scenario 2 (Price goes above $40,000): If Bitcoin’s price jumps to $42,000, you’ll sell your Bitcoin at $40,000 (lower than market price) but still keep the $500 premium. You might miss some of the gains but still made profit! 🔥
📈 Why Use a Covered Call?
Extra Income: Earn extra cash (the premium) while holding on to assets you already own.
Lower Risk: Since you already own the asset, you won’t lose as much as riskier options strategies.
Great in Stable Markets: This is best when you believe the price won’t go up too fast or stay relatively stable.
