The Wheel Strategy in 3 Steps

The same cycle repeated by thousands of income traders every week.

1
Sell a Cash-Secured Put

Choose a stock you'd be happy to own. Sell a put option below the current price and collect premium upfront. If the price stays above your strike, you keep the cash.

2
Own the Stock

If the stock drops below your strike, you're assigned 100 shares at your strike price. Your effective cost basis is lower — reduced by every premium you've collected so far.

3
Sell a Covered Call

Sell a call option above your cost basis and collect more premium. Repeat the cycle — earning income while the stock trades sideways or climbs.
