Currently holding a long call on ASML that’s showing a modest profit, with expiry in January next year. The stock is trending near its all-time highs and still in an uptrend, though momentum appears to be slowing.
To enhance yield, I converted this position into a Diagonal Debit Call Spread by shorting a near-term call expiring in a week, set roughly 8% above the current price. Over the week, ASML’s price moved slightly higher but stayed below the short strike — allowing that call to expire worthless.
This adjustment added extra income while keeping my long exposure intact — a small but efficient optimization as the longer call continues to appreciate.
