High Probability Preset: Win 80%+ of Your Trades

The High Probability preset uses a strict probability-of-profit floor to surface only contracts with an 80%+ statistical chance of expiring worthless.

What this preset does

The High Probability preset uses a strict probability-of-profit floor:

  • Probability of Profit ≥ 80%
  • Liquid contracts only
  • Standard wheel DTE
  • Reasonable price floor

It's mathematically similar to Low Delta but uses POP (which is IV-adjusted) instead of raw delta.

When to use it vs Low Delta

Use High Probability when...Use Low Delta when...
You want IV-adjusted probabilityYou want a constant delta band
Trading mixed-IV underlyingsSticking to one stock
Reporting trade qualityQuick scanning

In practice, both preset families produce similar shortlists. POP is slightly more honest because it accounts for current implied volatility.

A worked example

  1. Open the Put screener.
  2. Apply High Probability Put preset.
  3. Set Yield ≥ 0.5% (filter out tiny premium).
  4. Sort by Yield descending.

You'll get a list of contracts where the math is firmly on your side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 80% probability of profit guaranteed?

No. POP is a model estimate based on current IV, time to expiration, and the underlying price. Real outcomes can deviate, especially on news-driven moves. The 1-in-5 losing trades can still be meaningful.
