Overview of the SPY 45 DTE income strategy

The podcast episode delves into the SPY 45 DTE income strategy, which is a mechanical income strategy executed daily. The strategy involves selling put options on the SPY every day, entering at approximately 45 DTE. By entering positions daily and utilizing a longer data strategy, the goal is to maximize occurrences and smooth out volatility. The strategy has specific entry and exit mechanics, such as using a profit take at 60% max profit and a stop loss at 2x. Additionally, the strategy aims to exit all positions at 21 DTE to minimize gamma risk and avoid sudden large losses. Although there may be capital constraints and margin requirements to consider, the strategy offers a relatively safe approach with controlled risk.
