Which options strategy fits the trade you want?

Five questions about the position, not about you: what you hold, what you expect, and how you want it to win or lose. Strategies whose payoff has that shape appear beside them.

Not investment advice. Restrike is a tracker and a calculator, not an adviser, and its author is not a registered investment adviser. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything, and nothing is personalised to your circumstances. Restrike never places a trade or moves money. Brokerage import is read-only.

Every figure quoted is backtested and hypothetical. It describes past data and is not a forecast or a promise of future results. Selling puts can lose far more than the premium collected, and a position that survived the worst month in a historical sample may not survive the next one.
