Our Option Income Search Engine is a Powerful Tool for the Covered Call and Cash Secured Put Option Writer.
If you are looking to generate income from selling puts or covered callls on high quality stocks our Option Search Engine will help you find it.
Each day at the close of the market we update our option search database with over 2,700 stocks and over 100,000 options.
In order for an option to make it to our search database it must have at least 1/2% return on investment (ROI) or greater. Why start at 1/2%? These options can make for great trades one week prior to expiration. You will find many options that have a ROI of 5,10, even 15% or more.
Typically options with a higher ROI and near term expiration present additional risk. Once a list of options is shown from the custom settings of your choice you can then take that selection and perform any additional research such as checking news, analyst ratings, technical, or fundamental research.
