About HOOD

Robinhood Markets is a publicly traded stock commonly used in covered call strategies to generate consistent income from existing positions.

Strategy

HOOD Covered Call Strategy

Covered calls on HOOD 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 HOOD, you can sell 1 call contract per 100 shares to generate consistent monthly income.

Covered calls on HOOD 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 HOOD

01
Own 100 Shares
You must own at least 100 shares of HOOD to sell 1 covered call contract. Each options contract covers exactly 100 shares.
02
Choose Strike and Expiry
Select a call strike above the current HOOD price (OTM) and an expiry date. 30–45 DTE monthly cycles are most popular for income generation.
03
Sell the Call
Sell 1 call contract to collect the premium immediately. This income is yours regardless of what HOOD does next.
04
Manage at Expiry
If HOOD stays below your strike, the option expires worthless and you keep the premium. If it rises above, shares get called away at the strike.
