Running ATMP covered calls helps you generate consistent income from iPath Select MLP ETN's shares you already own, turning a long stock position into a yield-producing asset. A covered call on iPath Select MLP ETN involves holding the underlying stock and selling a call option against it, collecting premium in exchange for capping upside at the strike price. Use our scanner to find the best ATMP covered calls in real time and filter for the strikes, expiries, and premiums that fit your strategy.
A covered call is one of the most widely used options strategies because it pairs limited risk with a clear income profile: if ATMP stays below the strike at expiration, you keep the premium and the shares; if it rises above, you deliver the stock at the strike and still pocket the premium. Selling ATMP covered calls works best when implied volatility is elevated, since richer premiums improve the risk-reward. Key inputs to evaluate include strike selection relative to delta, days to expiration, annualized return, and the probability of assignment — all of which determine whether a given iPath Select MLP ETN covered call is worth writing.
