How the sample cycle unfolded

This historical sample starts with a $50,000 cash allocation and finishes 360 days later with share sales at $144 and $145 and a withdrawal of $57,542.76. The tracker reported $7,542.76 realized net profit: $3,217.56 from options, $4,064.06 from stock and $261.14 in dividends. The path was not smooth. Puts were often closed at large debits, shares were accumulated into a 300-share position, and covered calls were repeatedly rolled when the stock rose.

1. 2021-01-19 — Start. Deposited $50,000 of cash into the tracker (an allocation, not a bank deposit). Same day: sold two puts (Jan 22 $129 and Jan 29 $125) and bought 3 shares of AAPL.
2. 2021-01-20 — Early put closed at a debit. Bought to close the Jan 22 $129 put for $0.37 plus commission ($37.63 debit), then sold a new Jan 29 $132 put and bought 3 more shares.
3. 2021-01-22–26 — More put rolls and share adds. Closed and reopened short puts several times (including closing the $132 and $135 puts at debits) while adding shares. By Jan 26 share balance was 7.
4. 2021-01-26–28 — Stock accumulation. Bought 50 shares on Jan 26 at $143.00 and 50 more on Jan 28 at $138.30. Share balance jumped to 107. Same day Jan 28: first covered call sold (Feb 5 $145).
5. 2021-02-17–19 — Put closed deep in the money; shares added. Bought to close the Feb 19 $135 put for $4.96 ($496.63 debit including commission), rolled into a Mar 5 $135 put, then bought 100 shares at $130.00 on Feb 19. Share balance reached 210.
6. 2021-02-25 – Mar 25 — Hard put closes while building the position. Closed the Mar 5 $135 put for $10.75 ($1,075.63 debit) and later the Mar 26 / Apr 16 $135 puts at larger debits ($1,408.63 and $1,495.66). On Mar 25 bought 83 shares to reach 300 shares and began selling covered calls against the full lot.
7. 2021-04–Jul — Covered-call rolls with large closing costs. Repeatedly sold covered calls, then bought them back when the stock rose (e.g. Apr 13: closed 3× Apr 30 $130 calls for a $1,749.31 debit; Jul 6: closed Jul 16 calls for $1,211.43 and $1,462.16 debits; Jul 26: closed Aug 20 $135 calls for a $4,432.07 debit). Premium collected on the re-sales offset some of those costs.
8. 2021-02-11, May 6, Aug 12, Nov 5 — Dividends. Cash dividends credited: $63.14, $66.00, $66.00, and $66.00 — totaling $261.14 as reported.
9. 2021-Sep–Dec — Deep ITM calls while holding 300 shares. With 300 shares held, sold calls that were often deep in the money and closed them at large debits (e.g. Nov 22 closed 3× Dec 10 $142 calls for $6,591.96; Dec 20 closed 3× Dec 31 $144 calls for $7,839.84), replacing them with new short calls and puts.
10. 2022-01-14 — Sold the shares and closed the wheel. Sold 200 shares at $144.00 and 100 shares at $145.00 as recorded in the ledger. Share balance returned to 0. Withdrew $57,542.76 — the original $50,000 plus the $7,542.76 realized net profit. The ledger records share sales at those prices; it does not state whether the sales were call assignments.
