Thanks Dick! One more question? Will they allow first buying the LEAP and then sometime later selling (writing) the CC CALL to complete the spread? The reason for this would be to capture some price appreciation before the write. That would allow more flexibility. Otherwise, the LEAP/CC spread would require execution around the time the stock is tagging the upper BB and RSI has peaked. Mr. Stock.com's services!
