The wheel scanner that catches the catalyst before you get assigned into a 20% gap
Every cash-secured put it shows you is checked for a hidden earnings, FDA, legal or SEC catalyst inside your expiry window — so the fat premium isn't a trap. Free, no signup.
How it works
Three steps from "I want to sell puts" to a risk-checked shortlist.
We scan all 500
Every 30 minutes we pull put quotes across the whole S&P 500 and rank them by annualized premium at your chosen delta and expiry.
We gate the catalyst
Each candidate gets a 0–100 risk score from real earnings, FDA, legal, SEC and clinical events landing inside your window. Landmines drop out.
You sell the clean ones
You get a short list of liquid, low-catalyst puts on quality names — the income without the surprise gap. Confirm the bid in your broker and go.

Why the fat premium is usually a warning
Rich put premium means the market is pricing in a move. The question is whether you know why.
A put's premium is paid for volatility. When a name suddenly offers a juicy yield, it's rarely free money — it's the options market pricing in a known event: an earnings report, an FDA decision, a court ruling, an SEC action. Sell into that and a 20% overnight gap turns "income" into being assigned a falling stock far below your strike.
Most wheel screeners only show you the yield. They have no idea there's an earnings report two days before your put expires. Ours does — it reads the actual calendar of catalysts for every ticker and refuses to surface a put that sells straight into one.
That single check — catalyst gating inside your expiry window — is the thing premium sellers actually fear, and the thing the big screeners don't do.
The "too good" premium
You spot a put on a grocery name paying an unusually fat premium for a boring, low-beta stock. Looks like a gift.
It isn't. The scanner flags it HIGH risk — earnings land three days before expiry. The market is paying you extra precisely because it expects a move.
The morning after the report the stock gaps down double digits, and the "safe" wheel trade is suddenly underwater. That's the assignment we keep you out of.
Other screeners
Rank by yield and IV. Blind to earnings, FDA, legal and SEC events in your window.
