One simulated recipe: 10 DTE / 2% OTM cash-secured puts and covered calls, ~2-year window.
These pages publish weekly snapshots of a single wheel recipe. They are historical simulations, not live trading results and not a prediction. When a snapshot exists, this page says what the simulation produced — never what you would have collected.

Published 21-Day Rule simulations ranked by annualized return divided by maximum drawdown. Simulated results, not a prediction.

Scanner-wide historical stores presented as if every ticker is pre-computed
Copy that treats simulated premium as cash you collected
Charts and trade tapes that cannot be refreshed without a live engine call
Stale success left up after the next run fails
10 DTE / 2% OTM puts and calls. Dates omitted so the engine uses its ~2-year default. Reinvestment comparison off.
The hub lists tickers that exist in the snapshot table. Missing or failed runs are omitted — no fake KPIs.
Copy is “this simulation produced $X.” Limitations and pricing sources stay visible.
Change DTE, OTM, or dates in the existing wheel backtest. These pages do not run Alpaca on request.
Open a ticker below. You will see simulated premium, assignment rate, wheel P&L, and buy-and-hold P&L for the one public recipe.
Every snapshot stores limitations, synthetic-pricing flags, and pricing-source counts from the engine run.
Start a trial and open the interactive wheel backtest to change symbol, window, DTE, or OTM.
Run the same engine with your own ticker, DTE, and OTM
