Options 202: Selling Calls
Precision Profit-Taking & Income
Options 202 is the direct follow-up to Options 201. This course teaches you how to systematically extract income, lock in gains, and manage risk using covered calls and collars within the 4-hour IADSS framework.
Course Overview
Options 202 picks up where Options 201 leaves off—whether you intentionally bought shares or were assigned stock from selling puts. The focus is on how and when to sell calls, manage exits with discipline, and protect profits without giving gains back.
This course combines offense and defense: generating income during strength while using structure and timing to manage downside risk.

Options 202 teaches you how to:
-
Lock in gains near market extremes
