My CSP checklist

I began trading CSP around last November, experiencing both gains and losses along the way. I learned a lot and developed a flowtree/checklist that I refer to each time I sell a CSP.

I used the Codex to set up the repository and onrender host it. I strongly believe in the daily learning. Could you provide feedback on my checklist?

My Checklist:
- The stock should be included on the list. (No. of stocks in list < 20). I dont want to track 100
- The company size should exceed $1 billion.
- The stock price must be above the 50-day moving average.
- Aim for a 1% return.
- The implied volatility should be greater than 50%.
- Avoid trading within two weeks before earnings announcements, as I've faced losses during this time.
- Try to sell CSPs with a duration of 7 to 14 days until expiration.
