About MDB

Strategy

Covered calls on MDB allow shareholders to collect premium income while holding the stock. The most common approach is selling out-of-the-money calls 30-45 days to expiration (DTE) to balance premium income with potential upside. If you own 100 shares of MDB, you can sell 1 call contract per 100 shares to generate consistent monthly income.

Covered calls on MDB cap your upside at the strike price but provide downside cushion equal to the premium received.

How It Works

How to Run a Covered Call on MDB

Own 100 Shares

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

Choose Strike and Expiry

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

Sell the Call

Sell 1 call contract to collect the premium immediately into your account. This income is yours regardless of what MDB does next.

Manage at Expiry

If MDB stays below your strike, the option expires worthless and you keep the premium. If it rises above, shares get called away at the strike.
