expected Sep'26 · what this month is likely to pay
older estimate $18,132 counted every call as simply safe or not
Expected — money already booked, plus the premium on every open call, each one counted by how likely it is to actually expire worthless. A call a few percent out of the money is nearly money in the bank if it expires this week, and closer to a coin flip with 25 days left on a wild name. The old range treated both as simply "safe". It lands below the old range because those "safe" calls are not 100% safe. Charging each one its real odds shaves a little off every line.
This covers 49% of the open premium, using how jumpy each stock has actually been (cc_scanner already measures that for 19 tickers). The other $4,445 has no reading on file, so those calls just count as safe or not-safe, the old way.
Defence bill $1,545 — what it would cost to buy back the calls that are already in the money, at today's prices. It is a floor, not a prediction. It sits here rather than being subtracted above because it is the reason the old "optimistic" number was never really a best case: those calls will not hand you their premium, they will cost money to get out of.

Conservative = realized + only the safe (OTM) open CCs — assumes every in-the-money CC gets bought back / rolled to defend the shares, so it lands as $0 income.
Optimistic = conservative plus the at-risk (ITM) CCs kept in full — assumes every open CC expires in your favour and you keep 100% of the premium.
Reality usually lands between the two: some ITM calls drift back OTM by expiry, some get defended.
52% of the optimistic projection is already realized. Pipeline = premium on open CCs expiring this month ("safe" = stock below strike, likely expires worthless; "at-risk" = stock at/above strike, may be defended). The Oct'26 Next Month Forecast is premium on open CCs expiring early next month that could be closed before Sep month-end — shown separately, not in the headline.
