Basic Options Strategies
In 2026, the most successful retail traders have moved away from "gambling" on high-leverage options and instead use Basic Options Strategies to create consistent cash flow and protect their existing portfolios.Here are the four essential strategies that form the foundation of a professional options toolkit.1. Covered Call (The Income Generator)This is the most popular strategy in 2026 for long-term investors. You sell a call option against shares you already own.Setup: Own 100 shares of a stock + Sell 1 Out-of-the-Money (OTM) Call.The Goal: To collect the Premium (cash) from the buyer while waiting for the stock to rise.The Outcome:Stock stays flat/down: You keep the shares and the cash.Stock hits the Strike: you sell your shares at a profit and keep the cash.Best For: Generating "synthetic dividends" on stocks you plan to hold anyway.2. Cash-Secured Put (The "Buy at a Discount" Strategy)Instead of buying a stock at the current market price, you get paid to wait for a better price.Setup: Have enough cash to buy 100 shares + Sell 1 OTM Put.The Goal: To get paid a premium to commit to buying a stock at a lower price (Strike Price).The Outcome:Stock stays above Strike: You keep the cash and try again next week.Stock drops below Strike: You are "assigned" the shares at the lower price you wanted, and your effective cost is even lower because of the premium you kept.3. Long Call & Long Put (The Directional Bets)These are the simplest forms of options trading, used to profit from a specific price move without owning the underlying asset.Long Call: You buy a call because you believe the price will go up significantly. It offers unlimited profit potential with limited risk (the premium paid).Long Put: You buy a put because you believe the price will go down. This is often used as "Insurance" to protect a portfolio during a market crash.4.

The "Wheel" Strategy (The 2026 Professional Workflow)Many 2026 traders combine these into a cycle known as The Wheel:Sell Cash-Secured Puts until you are assigned shares.Once you own the shares, sell Covered Calls until the shares are called away.Repeat. This allows you to collect premiums at every stage of the market cycle.2026 Tactical Note: In today's high-volatility environment, professional traders typically look for 30–45 Days to Expiration (DTE). This provides the best balance between capturing Theta (Time Decay) and giving the trade enough time to work.💡 Student ExercisePick a "Blue Chip" stock (like Apple or Tesla). Look at the options chain for 30 days from now.How much cash would you receive today for selling a Covered Call 5% above the current price?If you did this every month, what would your "annual yield" be from premiums alone?
