Why a practitioner
I sold my first covered call on Tesla on October 14, 2025. Since then I've logged every trade in public at Covered Call Weekly: strike, expiry, premium, delta, the buy-to-close price, and the profit or loss to the cent. That includes the bad weeks. One of them cost me $13,000 and rewrote my rules.
That log is the raw material. When I write about rolling a call that's gone in the money, or when to take 80% of the premium and walk away, the example comes from a trade I actually made. Every number in your article gets checked by hand against the fact sheet, the option chain or the filing it came from.
- Real trade examples, not hypotheticals dressed up as experience
- Every figure checked against its source, with a sources list you can audit
- Written to pass compliance review: no fund picks, no promises, no hype

How it works
- Brief. You send the audience, the topic and any house rules or required disclosures.
- Outline. I set the angle and the structure and pick the trade examples. You approve it before drafting.
- Draft. AI helps produce the first draft from my outline. I check every number and edit every line.
- Review. You get the draft and a sources list. One round of revisions is included.
- Compliance. Your team reviews and approves before anything is published.
The full AI-use statement is here. If your policy rules out AI-assisted drafting, say so up front and I'll tell you straight whether I can take the work.
About The 20 Delta Guy
The 20 Delta Guy writes Covered Call Weekly, a Sunday column built around a public trade log: covered calls on TSLA, MSTR and others, the rules that came out of the losses, and a running tracker of what's left to recover. Issue #27, One Year In, covers the first twelve months, the $13,000 mistake included.
He also built the covered call exit-math calculator, which works out whether to close, roll or hold a short call.
The 20 Delta Guy is not a registered investment adviser. Nothing here or in any article is investment advice.
