Scanner workflow

Cash-Secured Put Scanner

Shortlist put candidates by monthly yield, probability, strike distance, and allocation before you move into deeper trade validation.

01

Focused shortlist

Use the scanner to compare cash-secured put candidates against one minimum-yield rule instead of reading every chain manually.

02

Rule-first screening

Set your strike, probability, and allocation rules before you read the results so the scan is aligned to your account, not to a random contract.

03

Fast triage

Scan a watchlist in seconds, then move the best setups into the Visualizer for a deeper payoff check.

04

Yield and risk context

Review monthly yield, premium, breakeven distance, and downside context together so the shortlist stays decision-ready.

Evidence and limits

Source: This page is based on the product workflow used across the public Features and How It Works pages.

Method: It turns the CSP workflow into a simple rule set so the scanner can filter candidates before you open the chart or chain.

Limits: It does not promise returns or select trades for you, and market data quality depends on availability at the time of scan.

Quick Answers

Direct answers for traders comparing CSP candidates without relying on generic option-chain browsing.

What should a cash-secured put scanner help me compare?Answer

It should help you compare yield, strike distance, premium, and downside context together so you can shortlist puts that still match your account rules.

Is the scanner choosing trades for me?Answer

No. It narrows the list using your own thresholds, but trade selection, sizing, and risk management remain your responsibility.

What comes after the shortlist?Answer

The strongest next step is validating the candidate in the strategy visualizer so you can inspect payoff shape and downside behavior before entry.
