CME on the Wheel

CME passed our 1-month put test (30-delta put, 30–45 days, sold at the bid, bought back at half the credit), 2016–2026.

The Wheel lists cash-secured puts on stocks after a 3% drop, with live quotes, the chance of assignment and each stock’s own history. Free to use; a free account lets you follow stocks, add your own and ask questions.
