I was just filled on 3 trades. A 1 contract Covered Call with Nikola (NKLA), a 10 contract Covered Call with NKLA and a 2 contract Covered Call with Tesla (TSLA).<\/p>\n<p>I bought 1100 shares of NKLA on 3\/1\/21 at $18.80. 100 shares for a Grasshopper Trade and 1000 for a trade in my main trading account. I was just filled on these 2 trades again. The stock sold off a bit so I went out to next Friday. Both the Grasshopper Trade and my 10 contract trade expire on 3\/26\/21 and have a Strike Price of $19.

I bought 200 shares of Tesla on 3\/1 at $704. I&#8217;ve been bringing in very nice premiums and I just brought in another. I sold 2 contracts of the TSLA 3\/19\/21 $720 Calls for a premium of $21 for $4200.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sell to Open 2 TSLA 3\/19\/21 $720.00 C @ $21.00 (+$4200)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This trade gets a Risk Factor 1. Also, this 5 day position gets a $21 premium for a 2.98% return. That&#8217;s 2.98% on a lot of money hence the return of $4200.
