Weekly put-selling book
Every Friday this book sells one-week, 5-delta cash-secured puts on up to five dashboard stocks that are in an uptrend, sized by mean-variance optimisation, and collects the premium. If a stock's momentum breaks during the week the put is bought back and that name sits out. If a put is exercised, the shares are kept and a 10-delta covered call is sold the next week. Backtested over the last two years from $1,000,000 and rebuilt after every US close.
