Completing a covered call

[Ryds1971]

On my demo account I’ve bought 300 Apple Shares but how do I sell Apple call options to complete a covered call?

Hi @Ryds1971,

Thank you for your post.

Please note that you can find equity options on the 'Options' tab on the platform's menu to the left.

Please see the attached screenshot for your reference. You will find the call option after selecting your desired expiry. The call options should be available to sell at the U.S market open.

All the best,

Hi, unfortunately it says I have insufficient funds. I am trying to sell an Apple call option, I owe 300 Apple shares in my demo account. 
is 300 shares too few?
