BOT snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $31.83, ATM IV 119.00%, IV rank 63.87%, expected move 34.12%. The covered call on BOT below is built from the end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.
Why this covered call structure on BOT specifically: BOT IV at 119.00% is mid-range versus its 1-year history, so the credit collected on a BOT covered call sits in line with its long-run distribution, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 34.12% (roughly $10.86 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated BOT expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BOT should anchor to the underlying notional of $31.83 per share and to the trader's directional view on BOT stock.
BOT covered call setup
The BOT 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 BOT at $31.83 on that close, the first option leg uses a $33.42 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BOT chain at a 35-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 BOT shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

BOT thesis for this covered call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BOT extends from approximately $20.97 on the downside to $42.69 on the upside. A BOT covered call collects premium on an existing long BOT position, trading off upside above the short call strike for immediate income; the short strike selection should reflect the trader's view on whether BOT will breach that level within the expiration window. Current BOT IV rank near 63.87% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the covered call thesis on BOT should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Financial Services name, BOT options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BOT-specific events.
BOT 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. BOT positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BOT alongside the broader basket even when BOT-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a covered call on BOT carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical BOT earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current BOT chain quotes before placing a trade.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a covered call on BOT?
