Why I created OptionsWheeler
When learning about the Options Wheel, there's plenty of information available online. The challenge is often knowing where to start, understanding how the different parts fit together and working out which information is useful.
I wanted to bring useful information together in one place and explain the strategy in plain English. That means breaking down the mechanics, looking at practical examples and exploring the decisions involved at each stage of the process.
OptionsWheeler isn't about reinventing an established strategy. It's about making existing knowledge easier to understand and putting it into a practical framework.
What you'll find here
I've organised the website around the main stages of the Options Wheel, from researching a company and selling a cash-secured put through to assignment, covered calls and managing open positions.
You'll also find practical examples, explanations of common questions, tools and observations drawn from wider trading discussions and educational resources.
What guides my approach
- Plain English: complicated concepts should be explained clearly.
- Practical education: understand how trades work, not just the terminology.
- Research first: consider the underlying company, not simply the premium on offer.
- Risk awareness: understand assignment, capital requirements and potential losses.
- Continuous learning: no single strategy or approach works in every market condition.
The OptionsWheeler Method
I've brought my approach together under the name The OptionsWheeler Method. It is a structured way of thinking about stock research, capital allocation, premium collection and active position management.
It isn't a new options strategy or a promise of consistent returns. It's my framework for applying the established Options Wheel strategy more deliberately.
