Options Yield Matrix
Compare strikes and expirations in one grid to evaluate monthly yield, premium, breakeven, and probability before you commit to a setup.
Single decision surface
The yield matrix shows strikes and expirations in one grid so you can compare income tradeoffs without jumping between tabs or symbols.
Yield plus structure
Review monthly yield, premium, breakeven, and probability together to understand the full setup instead of only the headline premium.
Shortlist by rules
Set a target yield, probability threshold, and date window first, then use the grid to narrow to the contracts that fit your plan.
Best used as a comparator
The matrix is strongest when it is used to compare candidates side by side before you move into the scanner or Visualizer.
Evidence and limits
Source: The matrix mirrors the same product vocabulary used on the Features and How It Works pages.
Method: It presents the strike-expiration grid as a ranking surface so you can compare opportunity, not just premium.
Limits: Yield targets are scenarios, not guarantees, and every option position still needs a liquidity and risk review.
Quick Answers

It makes tradeoffs visible early, which helps you rule out contracts that look attractive on premium alone but fail your probability or downside filters.
