From my trade on SEPTEMBER 9 AT 12:51 PM I sold the 260 Calls out to October 2022 for over $30..- avg trade was about $30.5 per contract.  I had a hard time filling all my contracts. 

Either way, my best practice is to buy half back when price goes down by 50%.  I have not done that this time. This position is up over 60% and I expect it to fall further as they issue stock and also as time value expires. 

Note when I entered the trade I entered it because IADSS said MSTR looked very overbought at $260 so I sold the $260 calls for OCT and I had a feeling BTC was going to drop.  NOTE I WAS NOT AWARE AT THE TIME OF THE TRADE THAT THEY WERE GOING TO SELL 500M IN STOCK.  

This helped make the timing of the trade impeccable.     

Will let you know when I cover.

Hi James, I went to the sept 9th publication to find more insight and explanation about this trade but all I found were unanswered questions. It would be nice if you could give us a detailed breakdown of the trade and explain every choice that was made (put / call strike prices, expiration dates, if / when you buy back or sell why do you do it, etc). Also, I live in Canada so I can trade options on crypto ETFs (BTCC.B.TO, ETHH.B.TO). I did it 3-4 times, selling calls with weekly expirations and I let them expire every time. The first three times they expired worthless, which is good, but with the fourth I was executed and didn’t really know what to do next. Should I buy back immediately or wait for the spot price to go down? If I buy back, do I sell the same kind of covered calls as soon as I open the position? How do we choose the right strike price and expiration date? I would very much appreciate it if you did a video (or a series of videos) on how to properly generate additional revenue using options. Thanks!
