My Trading Strategy


Trading Strategy and Portfolio Management

Sole Strategy: I exclusively utilize the Wheel Strategy for all trades.

  • Trade Transparency: All trades executed within my portfolio are shared with the group. Comments marked "// recommendation" indicate trades I believe are beneficial but haven't personally executed, explaining the rationale behind them.
  • Premium Income Distribution: My premium income strategy is structured into three distinct segments:

Core Portfolio (80%)

  • This segment generates the majority of premium income.
  • Allocate 2-5% of your total portfolio value to each core position.
  • Diversification is crucial. Avoid overconcentration in just a few positions (e.g., two positions representing 50% each).

High-Premium, Non-Core Companies (15%)

  • This segment includes companies that offer substantial premiums but aren't suitable for the core portfolio due to various factors.
  • Examples include TSLA, CMG, MSTR, AMD, CHWY, UBER, and PLTR.
  • These are strong companies, but their long-term stability is less certain, hence their exclusion from the core.
  • Crucially, limit investment in these companies to a maximum of 1% of your total portfolio value.

Earnings Plays (5%)

  • This segment capitalizes on the significantly increased premiums during earnings weeks.
  • Limit investment in these trades to 0.5% of for each company and altogether don't exceed 5% cost of your total portfolio value.

How to Select Premium?

Cash Secured PUT

  • If the company is undervalued or fairly valued, I write at market price to squeeze maximum premium.
  • If it is slightly overvalued or close to fair value, then as a defensive play:
    • Select a strike price that gives me 2% monthly premium. Example: If you select a $150 strike price, it should give you at least $3 or less premium.
    • If the company is quite overvalued and shoots up in price in only a few trading sessions, I aim for a 1% monthly premium and select the price accordingly.

Covered Call

  • I mainly write calls at or above my assigned or purchase price. Never write covered calls below your assigned price.
  • If the stock is far down from my assigned or purchase price, then I go out two to three months to get a premium amount that equates to 1% of the assigned price.
  • Example: If my assigned price is $100 and the stock is currently trading at $75, I will go out in the future with a strike price (same as assigned price) that gives me a $1 (1% of $100) premium.
