Bro... learn how options work.
1 option is the right to buy or sell 100 stock.
The ratio is 100 stock to 1 option.
So qty for stock = 100, qty for option = 1
Hey nooby_mcnoob, you seem to be an ignorant of facts, b/c the qty in the posted tool works differently.
Qty here means qty, not contracts for options.
I have to put you into my ignore list b/c of your ignorance of facts. Bye-bye!

The text is referring to the options not the overall position.Is the brokerage firm Charles Schwab misleading (ie. straight out lying) about Covered Call trading:
I think this is total BS what that brokerage firm writes above, isn't it?
Covered call is same pl profile as short put
If you mean this:
Then this is correct. If you are short call options and it expires below your strike, those options are worthless.
True but unrelated to the original post. Schwab's wording is incorrect. No need to dance around it if you are trying to answer the OP,If you mean this:

It is a waste time trying to convince greedy covered option writers, who suffer major losses when the underlying stock makes a large change in direction.Covered call is same pl profile as short put

True, the missing key point is below your strike.

Can you take also a look at the following CoveredCall case ?

Nonsense. Schwab's is clearly that it is talking about the value of the OPTIONS. Of course the value of the stock covering the call goes down when its price goes down, but the text clearly states the option not the position.
I advise that you stay away from options.
