How It Works

How to Run a Covered Call on BCOW

Own 100 Shares

You must own at least 100 shares of BCOW to sell 1 covered call contract. Each options contract covers exactly 100 shares.

Choose Strike and Expiry

Select a call strike above the current BCOW price (OTM) and an expiry date. 30–45 DTE monthly cycles are most popular for income generation.

Sell the Call
