Poor Man Covered Call
A "Poor Man’s Covered Call" is a Long Call Diagonal Debit Spread that is used to replicate a Covered Call position. The strategy gets its name from the reduced risk and capital requirement relative to a standard covered call.

Directional Assumption: Bullish

Setup:
- Buy an in-the-money (ITM) call option in a longer-term expiration cycle
- Sell an out-of-the-money (OTM) call option in a near-term expiration cycle

The trade will be entered for a debit. It’s important that the debit paid is no more than 75% of the width of the strikes.

Example:
Stock at $100
Purchase (Expiration 2) 90 call for $15
Sell (Expiration 1) 110 call for $5
Net debit = $10.00 on a 20-point-wide long call diagonal spread

Ideal Implied Volatility Environment: Low

Max Profit: The exact maximum profit potential cannot be calculated due to the differing expiration cycles used. However, the profit potential can be estimated with the following formula:

Width of call strikes - net debit paid

How to Calculate Breakeven(s): The exact break-even cannot be calculated due to the differing expiration cycles used in the trade. As a rough estimate, the break-even area can be approximated with the following formula:

Long call strike price + net debit paid

Trade approach:
A Poor Man’s Covered Call is a fantastic alternative to trading a covered call. In smaller accounts, this position can be used to replicate a covered call position with much less capital and much less risk than an actual covered call.

The setup of a poor man’s covered call is very important. If we have a bad setup, we can actually set ourselves up to lose money if the trade moves in our direction too fast. To ensure we have a good setup, we check the extrinsic value of our longer dated ITM option. Once we figure that value, we ensure that the near term option we sell is equal to or greater than that amount. The deeper ITM our long option is, the easier this setup is to obtain. We also ensure that the total debit paid is not more than 75% of the width of the strikes.

We never route poor man’s covered calls in volatility instruments. Each expiration acts as its own underlying, so our max loss is not defined.

I watched about 5 different Poor Man's Covered Calls videos. You're was by far, the best one! Too bad I didn't watch your video first....lol. I added you my Subscribed list! Thanks!

You're right that Amazon shares skyrocketed, and in that case, it would have been better to own the shares than to buy "leaps." However, that's not always going to happen (almost never), so I prefer to make many hits rather than aiming for a home run. Thank you for your video.

Super well explained. I have watched several videos about PMCC and this is hands down the best content I have watched. It covers all scenarios, all the what ifs, which others fail to include

I think the most important concept here is - "the underlying should be a great company that you have faith in that will grow in the next 2 yrs"

I don't know why Jake stopped making video of this genre. I used to watch all of his trading videos. He had since switched to covering Ukraine-Russia war.

Dear Jake great video as always. Given this has happened to me on selling short covered calls, when the price of the stock goes down, the truth is that:

the option will follow down and, you can make very little money ( if at all), if you still want to sell calls outside of the money. In that case in fact none will buy them...
So in order to make money (again) again on the short call sales, you do have to hopw, that the 120US$ gos up to at least the 130US$...

16:19 What I have done before the short call reaches expiration (and assignment) is just close both legs of the position. You sell the LEAPS but with it you sell any remaining extrinsic value (which you would lose with exercising).
