Learn how to collect option premiums-and understand the promise behind every payment.
Want to put your cash and stock holdings to work through covered calls and cash-secured puts? The Option Wheel Strategy by Thanh Tran explains the process in plain language, with relatable stories, clear diagrams, and practical examples.
Start with the basics: what calls and puts mean, why buyers pay for them, and why one standard contract represents 100 shares. Then follow the wheel from cash to stock ownership and back again, learning how to evaluate each decision along the way.
Inside, you'll discover:
Covered calls and cash-secured puts explained simply, including strike prices, premiums, expiration, and assignment.45 numbered worked examples covering rising markets, falling prices, missed rallies, and difficult trade adjustments.Three approaches to the wheel: long-term ownership with income, income and turnover, and balancing equity growth with premiums.Guidance on rolling, closing, or accepting assignment, including why a roll credit does not automatically mean a profit.11 charts and diagrams, a sample option-position screen, highlighted memory rules, and recall exercises.10 reusable worksheets to plan trades, evaluate decisions, and track profit and loss.Learn to distinguish premium collected from actual profit, account for both your shares and your options, and prepare for situations where the market moves against you.
Whether you're new to selling options or want a more organized approach, this guide helps you understand the obligations, assess the trade-offs, and build a repeatable decision process.
