The Problem
Manual covered call trading is broken by design
Time you don't have
Scanning 10 stocks across multiple expirations manually takes 45–60 minutes every morning. That's time spent on data work, not execution.
Filters without rankings
Other screeners give you a shorter list. You still have to compare every row yourself.
Analysis paralysis
When every strike looks different across 10 stocks, identifying the best one requires mental gymnastics. Most traders guess or default to the highest yield.
IV environment invisible
Selling premium when IV is low is the most common retail mistake. Most tools show you IV as a number — none penalize you algorithmically for ignoring the context.
Earnings traps
Getting assigned through a surprise earnings move turns income trades into losses. Manual scanning across multiple tabs makes event risk easy to miss.
Yields that don't compare
A 7 DTE and 45 DTE trade can't be compared on raw premium. Without annualized normalization, you're comparing apples to oranges on every decision.
OptionsAnalytx solves all six. Simultaneously. In under 2 seconds.
See how Smart Score works ↓The Algorithm
One score.
Nine factors.
Smart Score evaluates every covered call simultaneously across 9 quantitative factors — then gives you a single grade so the best trades are obvious at a glance.
For every scan, OptionsAnalytx fetches ~400 OTM call contracts, captures 38 data fields per contract, and runs 28 individual calculations through the scoring algorithm. Over 26,400 data points processed. Top trades surfaced. Under 2 seconds.
Most screeners show you IV. We reward you for selling when IV Rank is elevated. Most screeners show you theta. We score how efficiently it decays relative to premium size — a distinction no other retail tool makes.
The most important risk variable — highest weight at 30%
OTM buffer from current price — second-highest weight at 25%
★ Most differentiated factor — no other screener scores this
Strike distance scored directly — 3rd strongest predictor in 149,610-contract backtest
Rewards selling when IV is elevated vs its own history — not just raw IV
Earnings and ex-dividend flags automatically reduce score
Secondary IV signal — captures residual volatility premium not fully covered by IV Rank
Normalized so 7 DTE and 45 DTE trades are comparable
Protects you from wide spreads and bad fills automatically

Why Theta Decay Efficiency matters
A $5 premium decaying at $0.10/day is far worse than a $5 premium decaying at $0.50/day — even though raw premium is identical. No other screener scores this distinction.
