TIGR is trading at $4.73 with an ATR of $0.21. TIGR is trading below all four moving averages — a downtrend. Next earnings report is August 27, 2026 (34 days away). Earnings is far enough out that current premiums reflect normal implied volatility.

Cash-secured puts require you to hold enough cash to buy 100 shares at the strike price if assigned. For a $4.50 strike on TIGR, you need $450 in cash per contract. Strikes closer to the current $4.73 price require more capital but offer higher premiums and lower assignment probability.

The wheel on TIGR follows three steps: (1) sell a CSP at a strike you'd be comfortable owning TIGR at; (2) if assigned, you own 100 shares at the strike price; (3) sell covered calls against those shares to collect premium while waiting for the call to expire worthless or the stock to be called away. OptionSpeed tracks every step so you can see your rolling premium and realized P&L.

Most wheel traders close or roll CSPs 1–2 days before earnings because implied volatility typically collapses after the announcement (IV crush). The premium you collected is largely an upfront payment for accepting that volatility risk. Holding through earnings exposes you to gap risk — even if your strike isn't breached, the IV drop alone can wipe out most of your collected premium.

Buffer percentage measures how far the strike is below the current stock price. For TIGR at $4.73, a strike at $4.50 gives the largest downside buffer in our current chain. OptionSpeed flags strikes with ≥15% buffer as wheel-quality candidates. Lower buffer = higher premium but higher assignment probability.
