I think my HULK system was hijacked!

    I released a strategy early 2023 that backtested selling atm puts, and if assigned, turning around and selling atm calls, and ignoring your avg cost. It proved to be a profitable strategy going back 3 years.

    Fast forward we have all these maximum yield etf's coming out that appear to be doing just that. :)

    I have renamed Hulk (Hold until last strike) to EAT'M for "Everything At The Money"...as in it just gobbles up premium.



    The first box here is the EAT'm system.

    The next box is just buying the etf's and collecting dividends.

    The last box is the solvency, which is your pnl on the underlying, adding back in the dividends received to find you overall pnl. Anything near a wash is ideal because your money is working for you at no cost.

    So I am on the fence. Should I do this manually? My concern by just purchasing the etf's to set it and forget it is less control...more fees...the 15% dividend withholding tax.

    No one hijacked your HULK.
    You pressed the BUY and SELL buttons in the wrong sequence.

    Strangely and oddly, most of your ETFs are on the downtrend.

    Take for example WDTE.
    You must press SELL first. Then BUY later.
    If you press BUY first, you might lose tons of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    I haven't done anything yet. Do you not see the correlation to the hulk strategy and just buying the etf?
