How are GPT covered call max profit and max loss calculated?

Max profit equals short-strike minus cost basis plus premium times 100; max loss is cost basis minus premium (at zero). Breakeven is cost basis minus premium. For the GPT covered call priced from the end-of-day chain at a 30-day expiry (ATM IV 38.50%), the computed maximum profit is $181.00 per contract and the computed maximum loss is -$3,318.00 per contract. Live intraday quotes will differ as the chain moves through the trading session.

What is the breakeven for a GPT covered call?

The breakeven for the GPT covered call priced on this page is roughly $33.19 at expiration, derived from end-of-day chain premiums. Breakeven is the underlying price at which the strategy's P&L crosses zero ignoring transaction costs and assignment risk. The current GPT market-implied 1-standard-deviation expected move is approximately 11.04%; if the move sits well outside the breakeven distance, the structure's risk-reward becomes correspondingly tighter.

How does current GPT implied volatility affect this covered call?

GPT ATM IV is at 38.50% with IV rank near 16.57%, which is on the low end of its 1-year range. Premium-buying structures (long call, long put, debit spreads) are relatively cheap in this regime; premium-selling structures collect less credit per unit risk.

The fund uses Intelligent Alpha, LLC’s proprietary artificial intelligence-powered stock selection strategy to create an intelligent equal weight portfolio of global large cap stocks with over $1 billion in market capitalization. The securities selected will be based on the major trading trends inspired by the greatest traders in the world. The fund is non-diversified.

GPT (Intelligent Alpha Atlas ETF) trades in the Financial Services sector, specifically Asset Management, with a market capitalization of approximately $23.4M, a trailing P/E of 128.03, a beta of 0.82 versus the broader market, a 52-week range of 26.36-34.64, average daily share volume of 2K, a public-listing history dating back to 2024, approximately 488 full-time employees. These structural characteristics shape how GPT etf options price implied volatility around earnings windows, capital events, and macro-driven sector rotations.

A beta of 0.82 places GPT roughly in line with broader market moves, so the strategy payoff and realized volatility track the index-equivalent baseline. The trailing P/E of 128.03 is on the rich side, which tends to correlate with higher earnings-window IV expansion as the market debates whether forward growth supports the multiple. GPT pays a dividend, which adjusts put-call parity and shifts the ex-dividend pricing across the listed chain.

What is a covered call on GPT?

A covered call pairs long stock with a short out-of-the-money call, collecting premium and capping upside above the short strike in exchange for income.

Current GPT snapshot

As of June 30, 2026, spot at $33.80, ATM IV 38.50%, IV rank 16.57%, expected move 11.04%. The covered call on GPT below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 17-day expiry.

Why this covered call structure on GPT specifically: GPT IV at 38.50% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling GPT covered call collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 11.04% (roughly $3.73 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated GPT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on GPT should anchor to the underlying notional of $33.80 per share and to the trader's directional view on GPT etf.

GPT covered call setup

The GPT covered call below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With GPT near $33.80, the first option leg uses a $35.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed GPT chain at a 17-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 GPT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

Action	Type	Strike / Basis	Premium (est)
Buy 100 shares	Stock	$33.80	long
Sell 1	Call	$35.00	$0.61

When traders use covered call on GPT

Covered calls on GPT are an income strategy run on existing GPT etf positions; traders typically sell calls at 25-35 delta with 30-45 days to expiration to balance premium against upside cap.

GPT thesis for this covered call

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for GPT extends from approximately $30.07 on the downside to $37.53 on the upside. A GPT covered call collects premium on an existing long GPT position, trading off upside above the short call strike for immediate income; the short strike selection should reflect the trader's view on whether GPT will breach that level within the expiration window. Current GPT IV rank near 16.57% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on GPT at 38.50%. As a Financial Services name, GPT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to GPT-specific events.

GPT covered call positions are structurally neutral to slightly bullish; the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. GPT positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move GPT alongside the broader basket even when GPT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a covered call on GPT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical GPT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current GPT chain quotes before placing a trade.
