Backtest storico: come si sarebbe comportata una Covered Call su ALEC
Abbiamo simulato in modo approssimativo una Covered Call su ALEC che avresti aperto ripetutamente nell'ultimo anno (92 ingressi storici, ciascuno mantenuto fino alla scadenza), con i premi d'ingresso modellati tramite Black-Scholes. Ecco come sarebbe andata sulla reale storia dei prezzi di ALEC — un backtest didattico, non una previsione dei rendimenti futuri.
In via approssimativa: i premi d'ingresso sono modellati con Black-Scholes sulla base della volatilità realizzata trailing, mantenuti fino alla scadenza e regolati contro il reale prezzo di chiusura storico. Fill reali, volatilità implicita e slippage differiscono — consideralo come contesto indicativo, non come rendimento esatto.
Implied volatility
ALEC is currently trading with high implied volatility, which makes its options expensive — and attractive to sell. On the options we scanned that was around 155% implied volatility, and higher implied volatility means richer premiums and wider expected moves.
Options on ALEC currently price in about 155% implied volatility, versus roughly 86% the stock has actually realised over the past month. That makes options relatively expensive — an edge for strategies that sell premium, such as credit spreads and iron condors.
Off that volatility, the options market is pricing a move of about ±$0,65 (±46%) in ALEC by 2026-08-21 — a range of roughly $0,78 to $2,08. Strikes inside that band hold most of the premium and see most of the action.
