The Wheel Strategy: A Steady Approach to Generating Income
3/18/20251 min read
Introduction
The Wheel Strategy is a systematic options trading approach designed to generate consistent income through selling options. It involves selling cash-secured puts and covered calls, making it ideal for traders looking to profit from market fluctuations while reducing risk.
How the Wheel Strategy Works
Sell a Cash-Secured Put
Sell a put option on a stock you wouldn’t mind owning.
If the stock price remains above the strike price, you keep the premium.
If assigned, you buy the stock at a discount.
Sell a Covered Call
After acquiring the stock, sell a call option at a higher strike price.
If the stock stays below the strike price, you retain ownership and keep the premium.
If assigned, you sell the stock at a profit.
Repeat the Cycle
Once the stock is sold, repeat the process to generate ongoing income.
Why Use the Wheel Strategy?
Generates steady income through premium collection.
Reduces the cost basis of stock ownership.
Helps manage risk while capitalizing on market movements.
Conclusion
The Wheel Strategy is a disciplined approach that benefits long-term investors seeking passive income. However, selecting quality stocks and managing risk is crucial for consistent success.
