About the Option Wheel strategy:

In this strategy, the option trader aims at increasing his yield and collecting additional cash flow by repeatedly selling Cash Secured Put Options until assigned. Then, in the shareholder phase, the investor is collecting dividends and keeps selling Covered Call Options until assigned again - which brings the investor back to the Cash Secured Put phase. The strategy can be optimised, when the investor avoids assignment by rolling the position. The investor would aim at yields that are above the long term market average - to compensate the additional work he needs to invest.

This calculator was developed to support on this endeavor.
