I use a "Covered Call Inventory & Decay Tracker" that basically acts as my flight dashboard. Every morning, I ask three questions:
1. **Do I have "Idle Inventory"?** (Stocks I own that are currently not covered by a call).
2. **Is my "Decay" on track?** (Checking the expiry dates and theta to see if the position is performing as expected).
3. **Is the market overextended?** (Checking for overbought signals to see if it’s a high-probability time to sell).
If nothing is flashing on my tracker, I go about my day. It prevents me from "over-trading" or forcing a play when the premium isn't there.
What does your "boring" routine look like? I'm curious if others are using a similar "inventory" mindset.
