Updated May 2026 · 8 min read

Theta gang sells options and profits from time decay. While buyers need stocks to move, sellers profit from time passing.

Core Strategies

CSPs: Sell puts, collect premium. Covered Calls: Own shares, sell calls. The Wheel: CSPs + CCs in a cycle. Credit Spreads: Defined risk premium selling. Iron Condors: Profit from range-bound stocks.
