Last year, we launched our Custom Strategy Scanner. It’s a unique feature that lets you scan the entire market for option strategies built around your exact assumptions.

In this update, we focus on how that flexibility applies to the classic covered call. By adjusting the number of shares behind the call, whether fewer or more than 100, you can change the risk profile, capital usage, and how the trade behaves under different market scenarios.

Here’s what we included in this update:

When quality stocks dip, many traders buy calls or sell puts, but there’s a smarter way. The Long Risk Reversal helps you balance cost, risk, and upside potential by selling a put and buying a call - often with little or no upfront cost.

​​Naked puts are popular because they give a high probability of profit. However, if the stock is very bullish, you will miss out on the gains from the stock moving up.

That’s where the Adjusted Risk Reversal comes in. By selling 2 out-of-the-money puts and buying 1 out-of-the-money call, you keep the same premium-collecting structure but add unlimited upside potential. The trade usually opens for a credit, so you still have a high-probability setup.

The downside risk is similar to a naked put: losses grow quickly if the stock falls below the strike. But the difference is clear - if the stock rallies, your profits grow without limit.

We put together a guide showing how the Adjusted Risk Reversal works, when to use it, and a quick example on QQQ. You’ll also find a predefined scan to start spotting these trades in seconds.

This strategy highlights the power of our Custom Strategy Scanner - letting you go beyond the basics and find setups that fit your exact market view.

The ZEBRA (Zero Extrinsic Back Ratio) strategy gives you almost 1-to-1 exposure to stock movement, but with limited risk and reduced cost.
It's especially useful when trading strong stocks that are trending higher: you retain the upside while defining your downside.

Instead of just buying shares or long calls, the ZEBRA offers a unique blend of both, giving you a breakeven point very close to the current stock price and defined risk. You achieve this by buying two calls in-the-money and selling one call at-the-money, so you sell away all the extrinsic value but still keep one extra call option.

We've recently created educational materials to help you learn, analyze, and trade zebras more effectively. Our blog posts have theoretical materials, use-case examples, and a predefined scan you can use to get started quickly.
