The #1 Mistake New CSP Traders Make (And How to Avoid It)
If you’re using cash-secured puts to replace your paycheck with options, there’s one decision that can make or break your success:
Choosing the right stock.
Inside Freedom Income Options, this is one of the most frequent questions I hear:
“How do I know which stocks are actually good for selling puts?”
Today, I’m giving you the exact 3-step checklist I use every week to find high-probability setups.
Let’s break it down:
✅ Step 1: Only Trade Uptrending Stocks
Use the 200-day moving average as your first filter.
If a stock is trading above it—and the line is sloping upward—you’re looking at bullish strength. That’s what you want.
✅ Step 2: Focus on Quality Companies
Stick with names like Apple, McDonald's, Costco—brands that have consistent revenue, profitability, and market leadership.
Why? Because if the put gets assigned, you want to own something solid.
✅ Step 3: Target 30 Days to Expiration
This is the sweet spot.
You collect solid premium without taking on excessive risk—and it gives you flexibility to manage or roll if needed.
If you combine all three steps, you’ll have a system that consistently generates income while avoiding unnecessary risk.
Here’s the best part:
You don’t need to guess or hope.
You just follow the framework—and let the system work for you.
