New Subject.

How much experience writing covered calls is required before a Broker will allow a customer a write a covered put? I ask this question because the company I do business will not upgrade my account to allow me to to write covered puts because he says I don't have enough experience. Is there a difference in the amount of experience different brokerage houses require before they permit a customer to write covered calls? My existing broker will not tell me how much experience is required.

At first glance your money management approach appears to be a sure looser. You have to be right 5 times to wrong 3 times. You need 62.5% wins to break even. I suggest you read a book on money management.
