    See that's exactly what I mean, once it's too far out you really lose the ability to use the wheel strategy, everyone on YouTube and those selling their discord subscriptions scream that the wheel strategy works, however once too far out it becomes a worthless strategy so I laugh at the one touting that it works flawlessly because it actually doesn't.

    I collect as much premium by rolling.

    Most will disagree by this

  4. You rolling for a credit? Otherwise I would rather take the stock.

    There are some I'm doing sell calls against that I would be gladly happy to collect the premium and get the assignment on the short side.
    I did one on SOXL recently expiring in November, collected approximately $600 in premium.

  9. Well you can't go in thinking it's going to work flawlessly. I was even selling atm puts knowing that the price is going to drop because I wanted the high premium. If you're underwater you can just turn around and sell some butterflies while you wait . Or just move on to another ticker. Rinse repeat . That's what I'm doing.

    You are down almost 70% in your CLSK position...
    You are down close to 30% in MARA...

    Sell Butterflies??? You learned a new option position??

    Shouldnt you be on Deranged Investor as opposed Elite Trader??

    Back to ignore
