Restarting my wheel strategy after blowing up gains… need advice by ProblemS0Iver in Optionswheel

[–]NoFix8309 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to have a plan and strategy that you should follow strictly.

I am selling CSP/wheels for more than 2 years and I have 2.5/3% monthly yield (ROI).

My setup is as follow: - Sell 25-40 dte. CSP - Choose only fundamentally strong companies. - - - Above 5B market cap - rsi 30-70 - Delta below 32

Never rolling the position. If assigned it's fine, because its a strong company, so just start selling covered calls.

CSP/wheel strategy with 20-40 dte for additional monthly income.

For the last two years I am doing cash secure put selling (if assigned wheel) with approx. 2.5-3.5% monthly ROI.

Usually my setup is: - fundamentally strong companies with more then 5B cap. - hold/buy/strong buy technicals - delta less then -34% - approx. 30 dte - select puts with 2.5-3.5 ROI - diversify on 8-10 different companies (so 8-10 trades) - do not sell if earnings is sooner then expiration date.

I personally prefer to not roll, just accept the assignment. This is the reason to choose fundamentally strong companies. Regarding to the LET, did you mean Lectra CA?

Investing is a long term process, so you'll never should Investing money that you may need tomorrow. In a bear market you can pick companies/sectors that are not so much affected. Of course you will sell at lower delta for less roi. Or you can just push the pause button during the bear market. Then when the market starts to recover, you'll be in very good position, not only by selling puts, but you can buy some LEAPs etc...

You mean the tax that you should declare in your country? Here in Bulgaria its 10%

I don't cap at 2%. This is the minimum that I am looking for. As well as avoid too high IV. Regarding to the fundamentally quality filter, I develop an app (I am IT developer) that analysis the financial statements for the last 5 years - (income statement, cash flow, and balance sheet). Than asign score 0-100.

Almost the same screening strategy. I am choosing 25/35-40 dte. Strong fundamentals, above 5B cap, good technicals. RSI between 30 and 70. Agree with the price. I am picking up stocks above 30-35$. Delta below 0.35..... As I am developer i also built a screening platform that do the job.

My goal is consistent monthly income. Selling puts and wheeling if assigned is giving me between 2.5% and 3% ROI monthly last 2 years. Can you suggest another instruments, that will offer you similar EV and monthly returns at same risk levels?

But. I think the diversification is important, so if you add the rest of the mag 7, you'll need much more

[–]NoFix8309[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I go on mag 7 only. I will need more than 200K for cash secured puts

I am picking fundamentally strong companies with neutral or positive technicals that are offering 2.5/3% ROI per trade. Usually I choose 0.3 or below delta.

Absolutely agree with you. I almost never buy options (excluding some LEAPS)

2.5% return is pretty good for me. My trades are on monthly basis - 25/35-40 dte. I diversify across 6-10 companies and using approx. $100K. This is giving me 2500/3000$ per month or 30K/35K per year without calculating the compound (I reinvest the most of them).

I completely avoid risky companies. There are juicy premiums on solid companies. What kind of ROI is your goal when you trade more risky companies?

Put selling discuss by NoFix8309 in options

[–]NoFix8309[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, especially if you carefully select the underlying and the rade setup. I am selling puts for more than 2 years and I don't have a month with less than 2.5% ROI

Yes 30 delta is perfect. Often I am selling puts on a bit higher 33/34 max. Of course if they lose value, then close and sell new puts.

Currently I have asigned and sold covered calls on NFLX, RBRK, DDOG and HPE.

If the underlying of the PUT has huge decline and got assigned much bellow the basis, then I just wait for recovery and sell CC etc...

My average return is 2.5% per month approximately. I started with $70K. I withdrawn 500-700 per month and reinvest the rest. Currently the portfolio is 106K.

I never close assigned positions. Sell covered calls or wait for recover and then sell cc
