Steady income setups,
surfaced before you go looking.
Every session, Option Ark screens the market for covered calls, cash-secured puts, and credit spreads that clear a strict quality bar — so you spend your time deciding, not digging.
From noisy chain to short list, automatically.
The same three-step pass runs on the full universe before anything reaches this page.
Scan the universe
Every tracked ticker's option chain is pulled and run through delta, DTE, and liquidity filters.
Rank by return
Surviving setups are ranked on return on capital within each strategy, so the best of every strategy type is shown rather than one type crowding out the rest.
You decide
Review strike, premium, delta, and probability of profit at a glance, then take it to your broker.
Pick a risk tier
Every setup here cleared today's delta/liquidity/ROC filters — split by how the underlying stock was screened. Safe: high analyst conviction, strong balance sheet, real earnings. Balanced: looser bar on all three. Growth: judged on positive earnings and real market cap instead of balance-sheet strength — a deliberate call, since capex-heavy AI/semiconductor names carry structurally higher debt by the nature of the business.

How we select these plays
Every setup passes a multi-factor check before it reaches this page — no noise, just setups worth reviewing.
Delta-targeted entries
Held to the 0.15–0.35 delta band — enough premium to matter, low enough risk to hold comfortably.
Liquidity floor
Minimum open interest is enforced so the fills you'd actually get match what's shown.
Capital-efficiency ranking
Setups are sorted by real return on capital, not raw premium or an extrapolated annualized figure that can make short-dated trades look inflated.
15–30 DTE window
Nearer-dated expirations carry meaningfully better liquidity than far-out monthlies on most names — this range favors that over squeezing out a few extra days of theta. Names with no expiration in that range (common for monthly-only chains) use their nearest one within 10–45 days, and the exact days to expiry is always shown.
Minimum return threshold
Setups below a strategy-appropriate return on capital are filtered out before ranking — 1.5% for cash-secured puts and covered calls, which tie up full collateral, and 2% for credit spreads, which risk far less.
Strategy mix
Results are pulled from all four tracked strategies so you're not only seeing one shape of trade.
