Opening (IRA): USO Jan 17th 66 Covered Call

60
... for a 64.89 break even.

Comments: With 42 DTE in the January monthly, adding a "rung" to my USO position at strikes better than what I currently have on at the 68, selling the -75 delta call against stock to emulate the delta metrics of a 25 delta short put, but with the built-in defense of the short call. The ROC at max isn't stellar here with the usual metric I'm looking for being at least 2.0%.

Metrics:

Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 64.89/share
Max Profit: 1.11
ROC at Max: 1.71%
50% Max: .56
ROC at 50% Max: .86%

Will generally look to take profit at 50% max, roll out the short call on test of my take profit at 65.45.
Trade closed manually
Closed for a 65.37 credit; .48 ($48) profit. Still have the January 17th 68 covered calls on ... .
