Athenagow OP Jinmyburbank : hmm but why only call specifically though :) ? But selling calls are usually only allowed if you hold the stocks since naked call selling is too dangerous.
you can try - YouTube  I check his video occasionally for his us macro insights mainly

Athenagow OP Jinmyburbank : If I understand correctly, you seem like describing that you wanted to buy a call option instead.
Buying call option means you pay premium while selling call option means you are paid premium within a mentioned period. Expired contracts are worth nothing
Assuming I understand correctly that you wanted to buy call options, each contract is worth 100 share and cost $1800 / contract.
Therefore the break even cost is 420$ + 18$, and your minimal profit is at 490$ (if you closed it) is the difference of $5200 per contract. However contracts could also expire worthless after the time period if it doesn't head in your desired direction resulting in your loss

Athenagow OP Jinmyburbank : the 10k is already included of the premium fee.
- net difference between share is 70
- premium paid is 18
- number of contract is 2
- number of share per contract is 100
- so shld be (70 - 18) x 100 x 2

Athenagow OP Jinmyburbank : not sure about too good to be true. I had burnt some on trades that are "obvious trade" too, Stellar earning but still tank :) Leap option will be a safer route though more expensive ; NFA

Athenagow OP : not sure exactly , but might seem that way :) I just DCA along e way and sold some off along e way

Athenagow OP OneNightOnly : Heeee thank you :) Sold 4 leap contract for 18.55$ when PLTR SP was ~$30+

Athenagow OP : Yeahh it was ITM Put :) Usually they wouldn't exercise so far off the exercise date. And usually the premium credited initially is usually more than the difference between the strike price and current share price.

Athenagow OP : ahhh NFA , but usually I look in order of , Overall Macro and geopolitical risk, The Greed and fear index then Industry & Company fundamentals
I usually move in when the fear index is high, but with a strong economic macro data and strong emphasis on the overall industry.
And usually I try take profit around 50% to 60% and wouldn't wait til it expires worthless as well.
