Profit if APPS Is Down 10% With APPS' 50-Day EMA above the 100-Day EMA, the most likely future price movement for APPS stock is up making APPS a good candidate for a covered call. The Buy Write Calculator will calculate the profit/loss potential for a covered call trade based on the price change of the underlying stock/ETF at option expiration in this example from a 10% increase to a 10% decrease in APPS stock at option expiration. The goal of this example is to demonstrate the 'built in' profit potential for covered calls and the ability of covered calls to profit if the underlying stock is up, down or flat at option expiration. Out of fairness to our paid option service subscribers we don't list the option strike price used in the profit/loss calculation. The prices and returns represented below were calculated based on the current stock and option pricing for APPS on 10/13/2020 before commissions.
Built in Profit Potential For this covered call, the calculator analysis below reveals the cost or the breakeven price is $2,963 (circled). The maximum risk for a covered call is the cost of the covered call. The analysis reveals that if APPS is flat at 39.83 at expiration the covered call will realize a $1,020.00 profit and a 34.4% return (circled). If APPS increases 10.0% at option expiration, the covered call will realize a $1,037.00 profit and a 35.0% return. And if APPS decreases 10% at option expiration, the covered call will realize a $621.70 profit and a 21.0% return. Due to option pricing characteristics, this covered call has a 'built in' 34.4% profit potential when the trade was initiated. Covered call trades can result in a higher percentage of winning trades compared to a directional stock trade if you can profit when the underlying stock/ETF is up, down or flat. A higher percentage of winning trades can give you the discipline needed to become a successful trader. The Optioneering Team is here to help you identify winning trades just like this one.
