Covered call trader here. I see where your thread is going. I am writing this on 2/26/18. At Fidelity, in my money market fund, I will be getting over 1% yield...If the Fed raises rates it will jump higher. If it was me, I would buy JNJ (I have before...much cheaper) and would do a leap, out...

I don't know a lot about options...Just what I have read and heard (over 20 years). I have always heard that the naked put option is the most dangerous option out there. Even with a stop loss, if there is no market (think 2000 tech bubble or 2007 financial crisis) your assets can be completely...

I think both Schwab and Fidelity (and all brokers) will go in house first (be their own market makers) if they have a match. After that they go to their favorite router. After a certain time it goes out to all the routes...I think...

Those are my choices at Fidelity for routing. Do any of those make a difference in completing my execution?? Should I just go auto, because it spreads it out quicker??
