Data as of Oct 30, 2026.
Page refreshes every 4 hours with latest market data.
A covered call involves buying (or owning) 100 shares of a stock and selling a call option against it.
You earn premium income in exchange for capping your upside at the strike price. The best candidates
are stocks that are slightly overbought (RSI 60–80), have elevated IV
(rich premiums), and are not trending too hard (ADX < 30) — so the stock is likely
to consolidate near the strike rather than blow through it.

How We Score
Each stock is scored 0–100 based on: RSI (50–80 ideal, overbought but not crashing), IV vs 30-day average (higher = richer premiums), MACD (bullish momentum preferred), ADX (below 30 = range-bound, good for capped strategies), and TTM Squeeze status (no squeeze = no imminent breakout).
