What does your brokerage charge if you get assigned on an option trade? I entered a covered call with the mindset that I don't care if it gets called in order to generate some income. I bought NVIDIA at 169.40 and wrote an August 16, 2019 call at 175 for $530.00 in premium. If it gets called I make roughly $1,100.00. However I'm not sure what the assignment fees would be. With earnings on the 15th I doubt it would be cheap to close it out.
