Covered Call Scanner: Find High-Yield Opportunities in Seconds

Scan the entire options market for covered calls with real-time data and backtested assignment rates

Most covered call scanners show you high premiums but hide the risk. You find an \'amazing\' 5% monthly yield—then get assigned and miss a 20% rally. Our covered call scanner doesn't just find high premiums—it finds the right premiums. Every opportunity includes backtested assignment rates based on historical volatility patterns.

The Problem: Most Scanners Show Premium Without Context

1
Hidden Assignment Risk — High premiums often mean high assignment probability
2
No Historical Context — Theoretical probabilities that underestimate real-world assignment rates
3
Portfolio Mismatch — Finding perfect setups on stocks you don't actually own
4
Raw Yield Sorting — Sorting by premium alone ignores risk-adjusted returns

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good covered call scanner?

A quality covered call scanner does more than list high premiums—it helps you find opportunities that match your risk tolerance and income goals. Look for scanners with real-time data, probability estimates based on historical performance (not just theoretical models), and the ability to filter by criteria that matter to your strategy. Our scanner adds portfolio integration and risk-adjusted yield ranking to surface truly viable opportunities.

How accurate are the assignment rates in your covered call scanner?

Our assignment probabilities are backtested against 5+ years of historical options market data. When our scanner shows a 30% assignment probability, that means historically, similar calls (same delta, time to expiration, volatility environment) were assigned 30% of the time. This is significantly more accurate than Black-Scholes probability estimates, which tend to underestimate assignment risk in volatile markets.

Can I use this scanner if I don't have a large portfolio?

Absolutely. While our portfolio integration feature is valuable for active traders, you can use the covered call scanner standalone to find opportunities across any stocks you own or are considering buying. Many of our subscribers start by manually entering 5-10 positions they want to write calls against, then upgrade to brokerage integration as their activity grows.

What is risk-adjusted yield ranking?

Our proprietary algorithm weighs premium income against historical assignment probability. A 2% monthly yield with 15% assignment risk beats a 3% yield with 60% assignment risk—our ranking makes this clear at a glance. This helps you maximize income while avoiding the frustration of frequent assignments.

How often is the scanner data updated?

Market data updates in real-time throughout the trading day. Our proprietary backtested metrics and assignment rate data are refreshed daily based on the latest historical analysis. This means you always have current opportunities backed by the most recent performance insights.
