Our Approach to the Wheel Strategy and How We Screen for Stocks
A disciplined, data-driven approach to running the wheel on quality names, clear risk filters, and consistent returns, without the hype.
Wed, March 25, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 26
Market chopped sideways after the relief rally, tech tried to bounce, but we still want to see SPY reclaim the 200D and 20D EMA before getting more aggressive.
Tue, March 24, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 25
Ceasefire headlines cooled the Iran bid, oil broke hard, but this still looks like a stay defensive tape until the market proves it can hold.
Mon, March 23, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 24
Today's rally helped, but it does not change the plan. We are still staying patient and playing defense with current positions while the Iran situation and broader market settle down.
Sun, March 22, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 23
Still no new positions this week. The market has not shown enough signs of stabilizing for us to press fresh risk, so we're staying sidelined until the tape improves.

Recap: Trade log for the week of March 16
Market tried to bounce early, then rolled over hard again by Friday. Closed the GOOG carryover, got assigned on DG, and sold fresh covered calls on DG, QCOM, NVDA, and SMCI. Locked in $149 in premiums - 0.12% Return on Capital (ROC).
Thu, March 19, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 20
With the S&P 500 at 6,606 and sitting right on its 200SMA, this is not the tape for forcing cash-secured puts. We are sitting on our hands until the market chooses direction, then we will start stalking the best premium-selling candidates that show up after the move.
Wed, March 18, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 19
Market still stuck in a range after Fed tone, nothing breaks but nothing really sells either so premium keeps flowing.
Tue, March 17, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 18
Market refuses to break either way, chop continues and premium sellers quietly keep getting paid.
Mon, March 16, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 17
Oil pulled back slightly but Hormuz is still closed and there's no diplomatic timeline. Energy premiums remain elevated.
Sun, March 15, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 16
Friday's close was ugly across the board. Small caps getting wrecked, mega-cap tech can't catch a bid, and oil is doing all the heavy lifting. Not the time to be a hero with position sizing.
Sat, March 14, 2026
Recap: Trade log for the week of March 9
Third straight down week for markets as the Strait of Hormuz crisis deepens. Cleaned up carryovers, opened a new CSP, and kept CCs working on NVDA, QCOM, and SMCI. Locked in $311 in premiums - 0.25% Return on Capital (ROC).
Wed, March 11, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 12
Premium is still there if you're willing to be patient. A lot of quality names are pulling back into more neutral RSI zones, which is giving wheel traders a few reasonable entries without chasing.
Tue, March 10, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 11
Oil faded on the heaviest strikes yet and HSBC says the worst is priced in. CPI drops this morning and Aramco's CEO is warning about catastrophic supply risk. Mixed signals, decent premiums. We're watching.
Mon, March 9, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 10
Oil touched $120 and pulled back under $91 after Trump hinted the Iran war could wrap up soon. Premiums are still inflated and we're not complaining. Stay patient and pick your spots.
Sun, March 8, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 9
VIX reached 30 Friday, its highest close since October, as the Iran conflict and oil spike keep hammering markets. Indices dropped across the board with small caps taking the worst of it. Premium is juiced right now, but that doesn't mean you full port. Discipline matters more when vol is this elevated.
Sat, March 7, 2026
Recap: Trade log for the week of March 2
Found opportunities in the chaos. Opened CSPs on HAL and FCX as oil surged, and kept covered calls working on NVDA, QCOM, and SMCI. Locked in $556 in premiums - 0.45% Return on Capital (ROC).
Wed, March 4, 2026
2 min read
BORING PUTS | March 5
S&P clawed back most of Tuesday's losses, Broadcom's guiding AI chip sales past $100B, but crude at $77 and fresh tariff threats keep the bid under downside protection. Good setups if you're not chasing.
Tue, March 3, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 4
Markets sold off on Iran fears but bounced into the close. VIX is still running hot. That means put sellers are getting paid well if you can stay patient and pick your spots.
Mon, March 2, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 3
After early losses linked to war headlines, major indexes recovered late, but oil’s jump and inflation fears suggest elevated implied volatility that could benefit disciplined options sellers.
Sun, March 1, 2026
BORING PUTS | March 2
Geopolitical risk spiked over weekend strikes and retaliation, pushing Treasury, gold, and FX haven demand higher while equities and risk assets are poised for a cautious start. Volatility expectations are rising across major indices. Staying disciplined, not chasing, and focusing on high-probability setups is key in this environment.
Sat, February 28, 2026
Recap: Trade log for the week of February 23
Back on short term offense after two weeks sidelined. Opened CSPs on GOOG and AXP, closed AXP early for a profit, and sold a new NVDA CC post-earnings. Locked in $793 in premiums - 0.86% Return on Capital (ROC).
Wed, February 25, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 26
NVDA crushed estimates, but the move afterwards looked pretty contained. That usually means chop into Thursday unless we get real follow-through from other sectors.
Tue, February 24, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 25
Market’s been choppy all week. Nobody wants to get heavy before NVDA. Right now it’s just wait and see. Let the catalyst hit.
Mon, February 23, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 24
One of the regime filters that kept us sidelined for most of last week has triggered again. We're keeping a close eye on that same $687 SPY level before introducing any new risk.
Sun, February 22, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 23
Gains have been real, but they’re not broad. We’re seeing progress in price without a real surge in participation. Leadership is still concentrated, which keeps traders leaning disciplined and cautious rather than aggressive.
Sat, February 21, 2026
Recap: Trade log for the week of February 16
No new CSPs this week. Regime filters kept us sidelined on fresh risk, so we focused on NVDA covered calls and defending existing positions. Locked in $299 in premiums — 0.67% Return on Capital (ROC).
Wed, February 18, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 19
Still no new CSP names. SPY is getting very close to our $687 trigger, which would let us shift back into offense, but regime filters still keep us sidelined for now.
Tue, February 17, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 18
Still no new CSP candidates. The current regime isn’t in a spot where we’re comfortable opening fresh trades, and we want to see SPY close around $687 before considering new CSPs.
Sun, February 15, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 17
This week we got zero names. Regime isn’t clean, so we’re not trading it. We’ll sit on our hands and wait for better conditions instead of forcing entries. No-trades-Tuesday is what I'll call it...
Sat, February 14, 2026
Recap: Trade log for the week of February 9
Choppy week, one trade. DG stayed on our radar all week and we finally pulled the trigger. Locked in $429 in premiums + returns — 0.77% Return on Capital (ROC).
Wed, February 11, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 12
Stronger jobs took some air out of the rate-cut narrative and the tape cooled. Thursday feels like a positioning day, not a catalyst day.
Tue, February 10, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 11
Nothing feels urgent. Price keeps chopping and that’s been good for people selling time instead of chasing direction.
Mon, February 9, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 10
Retail engagement still decent heading into Tuesday, even with a busy macro and earnings calendar ahead.
Sun, February 8, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 9
Market sentiment improved after last week’s rebound, yet downside premium is holding. That usually means traders are expecting noise and false starts rather than smooth upside.
Sat, February 7, 2026
Recap: Trade log for the week of February 2
A defensive UAL roll became a quick recovery, HPE completed the wheel, and new AEO and FCX positions captured elevated premiums. Locked in $422 in premiums — 0.43% Return on Capital (ROC).
Wed, February 4, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 5
We’ve got a low VIX environment that doesn’t quite match the chop we’re seeing day to day. Until liquidity improves and moves start to make more sense, I’m keeping exposure light.
Tue, February 3, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 4
Big Tech weakness weighed on the market and pulled the indexes lower while gold and silver bounced. Options markets aren’t pricing a ton of panic yet, so this feels like a balance between caution and normal earnings risk.
Mon, February 2, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 3
Cyclicals did the heavy lifting in an otherwise quiet up day. Feels more like selective buying than a broad risk-on push.
Sun, February 1, 2026
BORING PUTS | February 2
Calls are cheap, puts are firm, and put volume is leading as we head into a busy week. That usually means traders are expecting chop or shallow pullbacks, not a clean upside push while macro and earnings noise are still in play.
Sat, January 31, 2026
Recap: Trade log for the week of January 26
ANET & QCOM active management drove premium collection this week as we closed and re-established covered calls to capture elevated IV due to next weeks earnings. Locked in $596 in premiums — 0.54% Return on Capital (ROC).

BORING PUTS | January 29
Stocks hold steady as earnings come in without rocking the boat. Most of the movement is still stock-specific, not index-wide.
Tue, January 27, 2026
BORING PUTS | January 28
Low vol persists while price action remains contained across the major indexes. It’s been more about managing exposure than pressing for outsized moves.
Mon, January 26, 2026
BORING PUTS | January 27
Price action stays controlled while the real action shifts to single stocks. Indexes move, but not in a way that suggests urgency from either side.
Sun, January 25, 2026
BORING PUTS | January 26
U.S. markets finished mixed last week with the S&P 500 barely moving, leaving traders on edge ahead of major earnings and tariff headlines that could drive early week volatility.
Sat, January 24, 2026
Recap: Trade log for the week of January 19
