I have used an approach like this recently to set limit prices that did execute satisfactorily for a covered call strategy with calls close to the money. However, I also watched the option price mid day and reset the limit when it was close enough to what was expected to get the return desired. A simple calculator was sufficient -- didn't need a spreadsheet, because the result is only an approximation anyway.
