AI Rationale
Optimizer-selected top-scored assets held via LEAPS calls (delta 0.75+, 9–12 month). Sells 30-delta short-dated calls against each LEAPS. Short premium reduces cost basis. MA250 trend filter.
Bull Case
Walk-forward validated: composite Sharpe 5.39, CAGR +17.7%, max DD −2.8%. Highest risk-adjusted returns in the options suite.
Bear Case
Most complex options strategy — two-leg management, assignment risk, wider LEAPS spreads. Short call caps upside on individual holdings.
