Opening (IRA): TAN August 30th 38 Covered Call

Updated
... for a 37.00 debit.

Comments: Back into TAN (30-Day IV: 47.6%), selling the -76 call against stock to emulate the delta metrics of a 25 delta short put, but with built-in short call defense. Going with the August 30th, 46 DTE contract.

Metrics:

Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 37.00/share
Max Profit: 1.00 ($100)
ROC at Max: 2.63%
50% Max: .50 ($50)
ROC at 50% max: 1.32%

Will generally look to take profit at 50% max/roll the short call for duration on test.
