Basic Ellman Calculator
This amazing tool will make your covered call calculations a non-issue even if you are mathematically challenged.
Simply access an “options chain” and enter a few figures (in the “blue cells”) and you will learn (in the “white cells”):
– Option return (our initial profit)
– Upside potential (possible additional profit)
– Comparison results of using the different strike price choices
– Downside protection (how much your premium protects your initial profit)
– The profit and protection if rolling your option to the next month
Print out the spreadsheet and take it to your computer as a reference while entering your covered call positions.
