Strategy philosophy

Two different ways to pursue options income.

Wheel strategy

Long-term income extraction

Program 3, Max Income, and PRS are built around the wheel approach: using cash-secured puts, covered calls, and position management to keep extracting income from quality positions over time. The focus is not on tight stop losses or short-term exits; it is on collecting premium, managing assignment, rolling when needed, and staying disciplined through the full position cycle.

Credit spreads

Defined-risk threshold trading

Credit Spreads use a different framework. Each trade has defined risk from the start and is built around the market staying inside structural thresholds. Instead of owning or working through assignment, the strategy focuses on selecting spread levels where the market has room to move without exceeding the trade's risk-defined boundaries.
