Question 1

What is the wheel strategy?

Accepted Answer

The wheel is an options income strategy that cycles between selling cash-secured puts (CSPs) and covered calls (CCs) on stocks you'd be happy to own. You collect premium on every leg — whether the stock goes up, down, or sideways.

Question 2

How many stocks does OptyTrades analyze?

Accepted Answer

We scan 8,000+ US stocks from all 16 exchanges via the SIP consolidated feed — covering the full market. After filtering for options availability, price, volume, and market cap, typically 1,000-1,200 stocks qualify.

Question 3

What makes your entry signals different?

Accepted Answer

Most screeners use 2-3 indicators. Our signals combine 7 dimensions: RSI, SMA position, Bollinger Bands, drawdown, volume confirmation, swing-point trend regime analysis, and support/resistance proximity. We also factor in the broader market health.

Question 4

Do I need a large account to use the wheel?

Accepted Answer

No. We show capital required for every recommendation, and you can filter by share price. Many stocks in the $10-$25 range only require $1,000-$2,500 per contract — making the wheel accessible for accounts of all sizes.

Question 5
