The Wheel Strategy in 3 Steps
The same cycle repeated by thousands of income traders every week.
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.
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.
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.
