TBCH snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $12.78, ATM IV 67.20%, IV rank 12.18%, expected move 19.27%. The covered call on TBCH 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 TBCH specifically: TBCH IV at 67.20% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling TBCH covered call collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 19.27% (roughly $2.46 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 TBCH expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on TBCH should anchor to the underlying notional of $12.78 per share and to the trader's directional view on TBCH stock.
TBCH covered call setup
The TBCH 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 TBCH at $12.78 on that close, the first option leg uses a $13.42 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed TBCH 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 TBCH shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

TBCH thesis for this covered call
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for TBCH extends from approximately $10.32 on the downside to $15.24 on the upside. A TBCH covered call collects premium on an existing long TBCH position, trading off upside above the short call strike for immediate income; the short strike selection should reflect the trader's view on whether TBCH will breach that level within the expiration window. Current TBCH IV rank near 12.18% 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 TBCH at 67.20%. As a Technology name, TBCH options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to TBCH-specific events.
TBCH 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. TBCH positions also carry Technology sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move TBCH alongside the broader basket even when TBCH-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a covered call on TBCH carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical TBCH earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current TBCH chain quotes before placing a trade.
