Options Trading Income Backed by 5 Years of Data : 2,435 Backtests Selling Options: Cash Secured Puts, Covered Calls & the Wheel Strategy
Overview
The options trading book that shows you every win, every loss and the real numbers behind them.
What really happens when you start selling options for income? Not in one cherry-picked trade, but across five full years of real option prices, through the 2022 bear market, the chip boom and every sharp drop in between?
Rolf Strasse ran the tests. Cash-secured puts, covered calls and the Wheel options trading strategy, on 52 stocks and ETFs, with real fills, real commissions and every losing trade left in. Then he turned the results into a clear, practical guide to the options trading strategies that held up, and the ones that didn't.
Inside, you'll discover
- How to sell put options with the 35-35-35 playbook, which made 16.3% a year with a worst drop of only 7.2%
- Weekly cash-secured puts held to expiration, 21.6% a year with a worst drop of 8.6%
- Selling put options for income only when they're expensive. The one filter that kept all three main strategies profitable through the 2022 bear market
- The win rate trap. Why a strategy that won 97% of its trades still fell 22%
- Which stock options deserve your cash, including the 13 out of 52 names that lost money with the same rules
- Covered calls and selling call options for income. When they help with generating income from stocks you own, and when they quietly give away your biggest gains
- The full Wheel options trading strategy, tested name by name
- Rolling losing trades. Rescue or trap? The backtest gives a clear answer
- A simple retirement income strategy for IRAs, plus sizing for small accounts
- Step-by-step order tickets, checklists and a 90-day plan to get started
Who this book is for
- Beginners who want options trading for beginners built on real numbers, not guesses
- Experienced traders looking for the best options trading strategy for their own account
- Anyone who wants steady options trading income from stock market investing, without the passive income hype
Why it's different
Every number in this book comes from a backtest on real data. For each strategy you'll see its yearly return, its worst drop, its worst trades and what it felt like to live through them. No hype, no hindsight-picked trades, no margin-inflated headline numbers. Just the income you could have earned, and the risk you would have carried to earn it.
Part of the Financial Freedom Books Series by Rolf Strasse, written for ordinary working people who want to build wealth in the stock market without gambling to get there.
