Yeah, you would need to buy back the calls you sold if you wanted to sell the stocks. But the only time that's a problem is if they've gone up in value so you can't afford to buy them back. In which case, you're going to sell the shares when you get assigned so it doesn't matter. 
  
 Yeah, if your other options are still open you can't sell more even if they're worthless. You need to buy back the old ones first.

 I sold 11 calls for $550 and it was worth $1300 today, I didn't try to buy them back but you're saying I could if I wanted to at any time? Even during after hours? 
 I have negative buying power in my RH account, so it's not possible to even buy them back right? 
 For some fucking reason I have $23000 in gold withheld.
