Now I'm more than 6 months into my 1 year experiment to get 1% a week from selling puts. So far things have been going well. This week my RKLB and AAOI puts were ITM but otherwise ok so I had to roll and take less than 1% this week. My overall returns thus far have been a lot better than I expected. Last week's post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/thetagang/comments/1w1k96c/1\_weekly\_returns\_from\_options\_week\_26/](https://www.reddit.com/r/thetagang/comments/1w1k96c/1_weekly_returns_from_options_week_26/)
**Strategy**
\- Use an AI screener to give me a list of top 20 low delta options for next week
\- I either
\- a. Roll my current options - I do this if I can still get 1% for rolling or if the option is ATM/ITM and I have to roll. I always roll for credit.
\- b. Close a current option and pick something else from the list that I like
\- I try to do this every Friday. However, if I'm busy on Fridays, I'll sometimes do this on Thursdays.
\- If I get assigned, I will sell calls at assignment price
