So what I do for her is go about 2 strikes out and only 1 month out. I want the calls to expire for a little cash for her. If the price gets close to the strike, I roll out a month and up a strike.

OK, so how do you determine which point in time you're going to write the calls? Do you just do it the monday after expiration every month? Or do you use some TA to try and time the top? I ask because I'm not sure how you can write those calls month after month and yet never get called.

I'm not totally averse to trying this if I can figure out how to do it without losing the underlying.
