Does anyone here trade options? I am thinking about selling covered calls for a cool 3% return a month. What are your thoughts? How much do return do you make a month selling covered call/put options?
Do you ever sell naked options?

You understand that the buyer of the option that you sell can exercise on the first month if it's in the money and they like where it's at right? It's not guarantee by any means.

Yes I understand that but who cares if the stock price goes up or down as long as you are creating a consistent return
Have you got any tips bro?

The stock market is for suckers and the intellectually elite.
I don't do options because they're boring and it doesn't fit my non-stop style, but you can easily be seeing 50% returns if there's a 1 stdev swing.
I trade futures and I made 45% just this last week from e-mini spy futures.
I wouldn't sell naked options, unless your account is tiny or the amount you're speculating with is small compared to your account and you can take the contract nullification.
But tbqh naked options do have a huge potential for the upside if you're right.

How do you think you're creating a consistent return by selling covered calls? How much stock could you possibly have in your brokerage account to write covered calls against?
Here's some advice, go learned Black-Scholes front, backwards, and fucking sideways before you try to step into the options market.
