The Covered Calls and Cash Secured Puts Analysis page on MyATMM.com is your command center for identifying profitable weekly options opportunities. This powerful screening tool helps option sellers evaluate multiple stock symbols simultaneously, compare premium opportunities, and filter candidates based on critical metrics like volume, ROI, and dividend yield.
Whether you're looking for high-premium candidates, dividend-paying stocks with options, or simply trying to screen for adequate liquidity, this analysis page provides all the data you need in one streamlined interface. Let's explore how to leverage every feature to maximize your weekly options income.
Access the analysis page from your MyATMM dashboard by clicking the "Covered Calls CSP" or "Cash Secured Puts" link. This takes you directly to the screening interface where you can begin analyzing potential candidates.
The interface makes it simple to add one or multiple stock symbols for analysis:
You could add several high-quality dividend stocks at once for comparison:
All four would process together, saving time versus adding them individually.
When you add a symbol that's already in the database, you'll see populated data immediately. If the symbol is brand new to the system, you may initially see zeros for all values. Here's what happens:
The analysis page focuses specifically on weekly options, filtering out monthly-only stocks. This ensures you're viewing candidates suitable for consistent weekly premium collection strategies.
The default "Week One" display shows critical data for the first upcoming weekly expiration:
Beyond premium data, the page displays valuable context for each symbol:
The trend column provides a quick sentiment indicator based on the 20, 50, and 200-day simple moving averages (SMAs):
While this is a crude generalization, it provides a quick directional reference. Always perform deeper technical analysis before placing trades.
The true power of the analysis page lies in its filtering capabilities. You can narrow down hundreds of weekly options stocks to a focused list of candidates that meet your specific criteria.
Choose what data you want to view:
Tip: Use the three-button icon on the top right to expand the view for more screen real estate when viewing "Both."
If you've added multiple symbols but want to focus on a specific one, type the ticker in the stock symbol filter field. This narrows the display to just that single ticker while maintaining your filter settings.
One of the most useful filters for option sellers. Set a minimum premium threshold to eliminate low-paying candidates:
If you set minimum bid price to $0.21, any stock with even one option bid below 21 cents will be filtered out. This ensures you're only seeing opportunities with consistent premium across both weeks and both sides (calls and puts).
Control the price range of underlying stocks to match your capital and risk tolerance:
Liquidity matters tremendously in options trading. The volume filter helps you avoid thinly traded contracts:
Note: All four contracts don't need to meet the minimum—just one. This prevents filtering out good candidates where one expiration has lower volume.
Toggle this checkbox to display only dividend-paying stocks that offer weekly options. This is ideal for investors who want both dividend income and option premium, creating a dual income stream.
Every column header is sortable. Click once for ascending order, click again for descending:
The Target Position Cost feature helps you determine how many shares or contracts fit within your desired position size for each stock.
Enter a dollar amount representing the maximum you want invested in any single position. The system then calculates the "Target Size" column showing how many shares you can afford:
If you set a target position cost of $25,000:
This keeps your capital deployment consistent regardless of the stock's price per share.
Rather than entering your target position cost every time you visit the page, set a default in your preferences:
You can still manually override this on the analysis page for any specific screening session.
MyATMM automatically updates all tracked symbols twice daily—once in the morning and once after market close. However, you can manually refresh individual stocks or the entire page when needed.
The main "Refresh" button at the top of the grid updates all visible symbols in your current filtered view. Use this after the market moves significantly or when you want to ensure you're seeing current data.
Each stock row has a refresh icon on the far right. Clicking this:
To prevent excessive API calls and maintain system performance, there's a 15-minute cooldown between manual refreshes for each symbol. If you try refreshing a symbol within 15 minutes of the last update, you'll see an error message.
As you build your watchlist and add symbols over time, you'll want to keep it organized by removing stocks that no longer interest you.
Each row has a delete button on the right side. Clicking this immediately removes the symbol from your analysis page view. The stock data remains in the MyATMM database but is no longer displayed in your personal screening list.
There's an important connection between the analysis page and the cost basis tracking page:
If you're trading a less common symbol not yet in the database, add it to the analysis page first. This ensures all the supporting price data and metrics populate correctly across the entire platform.
Now that you understand all the features, let's explore how to apply them strategically for different option-selling approaches.
Manually screening hundreds of weekly options across multiple stocks would take hours of work each week. You'd need to pull data from your broker, calculate ROIs, check volumes, and cross-reference dividend information—all before making a single trade decision.
MyATMM's Covered Calls and Cash Secured Puts Analysis page consolidates all of this into a single, powerful interface. The platform automatically tracks 550+ weekly options symbols, updates prices twice daily, and provides sortable, filterable data in seconds.
Beyond the analysis page, MyATMM offers complete cost basis tracking for your active positions, assignment management, ROI calculations, and portfolio-wide performance metrics. Everything an option seller needs is purpose-built into one streamlined platform.
The Covered Calls and Cash Secured Puts Analysis page is designed to save time while improving the quality of your options trading decisions. By providing comprehensive weekly options data, powerful filtering tools, and automatic updates, it removes the manual research burden from your weekly routine.
Whether you're focused on high-premium opportunities, dividend-paying underliers, or capital-efficient positions, the analysis page delivers the metrics you need to make informed decisions. Combined with MyATMM's cost basis tracking and assignment management, you have a complete solution for options selling success.
Start by adding your watchlist symbols, experiment with different filter combinations, and build your own screening criteria based on your strategy and risk tolerance. The more you use the analysis page, the faster you'll identify opportunities that match your weekly income goals.
Options trading involves risk and is not suitable for all investors. Selling covered calls caps your upside potential, and selling cash-secured puts obligates you to purchase shares at the strike price regardless of how far the stock falls.
