There is a phone book's worth of strategies listed in McMillan's but these are the bread and butter strategies I use regularly as I like to keep things simple and most important of all profitable. CC / short put debit / credit spread long / short straddles
Good morning turkeyneck, interesting member name. IMO, you need to have a detail knowledge of the risks of trading options. Then, you need to have an opinion on the direction or lack there of, of the security in question. After you have done that analysis and have an opinion that you have high expectations on, you look at the current option pricing. Then, and only then, should you evaluate the rick reward of the naked stock positions, hedged or not with options or just options to best give you the highest dollar expectations for your given risk. You can do any formal spread or make one up. Not what you wanted to hear, but I believe that those that look to do option spreads with no opinion on the stock or index, seem to find things to do with little true expectation of profit.
short put is not the same as CC. It's not covered. And I would also add butterflies and iron condors and calendar spreads to the list. They are quite useful as well.
nothing fancy, cc and short puts, I like collecting premium. then there are calendar spreads I buy in large volumes.
It's easier if you take a step back and understand how a long/short put or call or underlying behave. From that you can build up anything.
