A lot of people had a rough week last week, but not us. We closed nine trades all for profit. That's the power of selling options.

You don't need to buy options to make money. You can sell options and generate regular, consistent income.

Most retail traders approach options backwards. They buy calls, chase momentum, and wonder why their account bleeds theta every week.

I flipped the script three years ago. Instead of buying options and hoping for a move, I started selling them — and collecting premium as income.

Here's the basic framework:

Rail 1: Income — Sell cash-secured puts on stocks I want to own at lower prices. If assigned, run covered calls. If not, keep the premium and repeat. Layer in put credit spreads and calendar spreads for additional income on tickers I'm watching.

Rail 2: Growth — Allocate a portion of the account to LEAPs and equity for high-conviction positions. Let the income side fund the growth side.

The result? A system that generates cash flow while building long-term positions. No day trading required. No staring at screens for 8 hours. No YOLO calls.

The key insight most people miss: options selling works best when it's boring. Small, consistent premium collection. Proper position sizing. Risk management that respects your account size whether it's $5K or $500K.

I document every single trade I take — open and closed — with full reasoning. Strike selection, expiration choice, premium targets, and breakeven levels. All transparent, all in real time.

If you want to see how this actually works in practice, WHEELHOUSE is where I run the whole system in the open.
