I noticed that one of the stocks I received from your list last night, Everpure, had a huge spike in volume on Friday. Was this because of triple witching?

Thanks,
Sally

2. I’ve attached to premium member emails a 5-day, 3 contract near-the-money covered call trade with LPG, an elite-performing stock at the time of the trade. I executed this trade on 9/14/2026, for the 9/18/2026 expiration. This is an example of an aggressive approach to covered calls. LPG closed at $57.86 today, up $2.66 from trade entry. The current price is $3.68 above breakeven, and $2.86 above the NTM strike. With 2 trading days remaining until expiration, I’m feeling pretty good about this trade. As always, I am prepared to initiate exit strategy maneuvers, if those opportunities are presented.

2. I’ve attached to premium member emails 2, 11-day, defensive covered call trades (2 defensive contracts and 1 aggressive) with APH, an elite-performing stock at the time of the trade. I executed this trade on 9/8/2026, for the 9/18/2026 expiration. This is an example of laddering both ITM & OTM covered calls. APH closed at $81.34 today, down $1.88 from trade entry. The current price is $0.25 below the OTM breakeven, and $4.22 above the ITM breakeven. With 7 trading days remaining until expiration, it’s way too early to make a trade assessment at this time. As always, I am prepared to initiate exit strategy maneuvers, if those opportunities are presented.

Idan,

Yes, that is how I recommend managing these trades.

When rolling a trade up or down in the same contract cycle, enter the 2nd STO in that same spreadsheet. If rolling to a later date, close out the trade after the BTC of the original option sale.

This allows us to ensure precise tracking of our trading results as well as the ability to dedicate each spreadsheet of the Trade Management Calculator to a specific expiration date. I have found this to be the most practical way to manage our trades, especially as the # of trades we execute increases.

Nice work!

Alan

Bob,

I did execute these trades in my brokerage account. My rationale for starting with a CSP trade was my concern regarding the Fed announcement. The reason I stayed with this stock after having the shares “put” to me and then writing the covered call was that the entire market had reacted negatively to the announcement, most shares had declined and ETSY was actually trending higher when I wrote the covered call. As I recall, several years ago, ETSY was a stock I traded quite successfully with both call & put selling. Since then, it’s been “missing in action”.
