Quotes refresh every ~10 minutes during market hours. “Score” ranks setups by annualized yield × probability of expiring OTM (≈ 1 − |delta|), so higher-credibility setups float to the top instead of lottery-ticket deep-ITM contracts.

Why screen for high implied volatility?

Implied volatility is the single biggest driver of how much premium a covered call pays. Higher IV means the market expects bigger moves, so option buyers pay up — and as the seller, you collect that richer premium. This screen restricts the list to contracts on underlyings with implied volatility of 50% or more, where the annualized yields are highest.

The trade-off is real: the same volatility that fattens your premium also raises the odds the stock gaps through your strike or drops hard while you hold it. That is why the list is still ranked by Score — annualized yield × probability of expiring OTM (≈ 1 − |delta|) — instead of raw yield. You see the high-premium setups that still have a realistic chance of keeping both the premium and your shares, not just the riskiest lottery tickets.

Discipline that keeps high-IV writing profitable: sell further out of the money to widen your buffer, size positions smaller than you would on a calm stock, and avoid writing through earnings unless you understand the IV-crush trade. Toggle “Exclude earnings-week” below to drop any contract whose expiration straddles an earnings date.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a high-IV covered call?

This screen filters to contracts whose underlying has an implied volatility of 50% or higher. That captures the names where covered call premiums are richest — typically high-growth tech, semiconductors, crypto-linked stocks, and momentum names — while excluding the low-IV blue chips and index ETFs whose premiums barely clear commissions.

Is high IV good or bad for covered calls?

Both. High IV inflates the premium you collect, which is good for income, but it also reflects bigger expected price swings, which raises the chance the stock moves sharply against you. The premium is compensation for that risk — high IV is only an advantage if you're comfortable owning the stock through the volatility it implies.

How are the high-IV setups ranked?

By the same smart Score used across CoverEdge's screeners: annualized yield × probability of expiring out-of-the-money (approximated as 1 − |delta|). Without that probability weighting, raw annualized yield would always promote the most dangerous deep-OTM short-dated lottery tickets to the top. The Score keeps high-yield, realistic-keep-rate setups on top.

Should I sell covered calls through earnings on high-IV names?

IV is usually highest right before earnings because a big move is priced in — but that premium is compensation for genuine gap risk, not free money. Many sellers avoid contracts whose expiration covers an earnings date. Use the “Exclude earnings-week” toggle to hide them, or accept the risk only on shares you'd be happy to keep through a double-digit move.
