Ep68 - How Covered Calls Can Work Great in Trending Markets


Listen Later

In this episode, Dan explains how covered calls and cash-secured puts can still work in trending markets if traders understand when to roll, when to close and how to plan before the trade is ever entered. Using examples from Build Consistent Wealth With Options, he breaks down how support, resistance, premium, market regime and trader psychology all factor into managing wheel trades when the stock moves farther than expected.

Key Topics
  • Covered calls in trending markets
  • Rolling vs. closing a trade
  • Skate objective vs. trade objective
  • Using support and resistance for roll decisions
  • Planning management before entry
  • Analyst downgrades and changed outlooks
  • Trade cycles and wheel cogs
  • Reference dependence in trading decisions
  • Negative scalping and option premium
  • Volatility as an asset class
  • Key Takeaways
    • Rolling should be part of the plan before the initial option is sold.
    • A roll only makes sense if the new strike, premium and market setup still fit the original thesis.
    • Additional support or resistance can guide the next strike.
    • New fundamental or technical information may justify closing instead of rolling.
    • Traders can get anchored to old strike prices, even when those prices no longer matter.
    • Wheel traders are not just trading stock; they are also trading volatility.
