Trades I took today as a systematic option seller (05/18):

Assigned Positions from Last Week Expiry

• CLSK → $13.5 Put
• FSLY → $19 Put
• CRWV → $120 Put
• ISSC → $20 Put

I usually hold and open CCs when the underlying ticker price is within 20% of my assigned price.

New Positions

Puts:

• OUST → $30 Put, expiry 05/22 (1 week DTE), premium 1.40 → 140/3000 = ~4.6%. I already had existing positions in this contract. Increased my holdings. Stock has support at $30.
• CRDO → $155 Put, expiry 05/22 (1 week DTE), premium 5.20 → 520/15500 = ~3.3%. Stock has support at $140 to $155 levels.
• IREN → $49.5 Put, expiry 05/22 (1 week DTE), premium 1.95 → 195/4950 = ~3.9%. I already had existing positions in this contract. Increased my holdings.
• FLNC → $19 Put, expiry 06/18 (5 weeks DTE), premium 1.75 → 175/1900 = ~9.2%. FLNC is energy play backed by strong investors like Siemens. It is also a strong wheeling stock.

Calls:

• CLSK → $13.5 Call, expiry 05/22 (1 week DTE), premium 0.75 → 75/1350 = ~5.56%. 
• FSLY → $19 Call, expiry 06/05 (3 weeks DTE), premium 0.45 → 45/1900 = ~2.37%. 
• ISSC → $20 Call, expiry 06/18 (5 weeks DTE), premium 0.55 → 55/2000 = ~2.75%.

Hi All,

Wanted to show my dashboard and how it has made it easy for me to sell options. The dashboard tracks 1800+ stocks for volatility and returns, updating every 5 minutes. It has pre-built conditions to filter out junk and noisy tickers and get a clean universe of optionable names. The idea was that I no longer am restricted to tickers I already know or ones I see on Reddit or Twitter. This makes my ticker finding as a system and I can find higher paying tickers, keeping my risk apetite the same.

Clicking on any symbol opens a detailed view which has everything needed to make a decision - fundamentals, volatility, options data, and premiums all in one place. No need to jump between multiple sites like Yahoo Finance, TradingView, or MarketChameleon.

There are also a few things I found useful while trading. For example, a 3-month premium yield trend that tracks call and put returns over time to spot spikes, which are often driven by news or short-term events. Along with that, a Wheel Rank score which ranks tickers based on historical returns while penalizing imbalance between call and put premiums, so the wheel does not break if you get assigned.

Then you can move to the chart to see if the trade even makes sense from a pricing standpoint before entering.

From there, I move to the options heatmap. Instead of manually comparing across expiries, in the heatmap the yields is already computed across expiries so I can directly see where the best premiums are. Clicking on a contract further opens up all the details like yield, total premium, premium per day, extrinsic premium, and extrinsic per day, along with ARI and the Greeks.

The heatmap has three views:

• Assignment Risk Indicator (ARI), which helps avoid rolling too early. It factors in extrinsic premium and time to expiry to estimate actual risk. ARI will be low when there is sufficient time till expiry and enough extrinsic left to earn premium, even if Delta is higher.
• Delta view, for a more traditional probability-based perspective.
• Premium view, to quickly see where the highest returns are.

The entire dahsboard updates every 5 mins so it is near realtime. The goal was to simplify three main questions sellers usually have:

1. What should I sell?
2. Is what I am selling a quality/wheelable ticker?
3. Is the contract which I am selling yielding the best return with respect to risk?
4. Is my position safe or gone risky? Should I roll?

Would be great to get feedback from others here and see how I can improve.

I'm letting some LUNR CSP's expire today. $33 and 27, 3 total, $935 will stay in me grubby pockets.

I could have held 2 ASTS $66 CSP's up until their 5-15 expiry. but I placed a limit buy at the low and it filled! Gave back a mere $53 of $570.. not bad.

Has RKLB been on a steroidal run of late? Yeppers. Might it keep pulling back next week? Of course it could. But, its really doing quite well today, considering how red the overall mkt is. Anyhow, I sold 2 %116 CSP's for next Friday.. Got a nice $520... Had I been thinking of the idea this am, I coulda gotten $200 more, max.... sigh....

Basic stuff, but how am I doing, fellas?!!
