Large Cap Preset: Wheel Only Blue-Chip Stocks

The Large Cap preset restricts the wheel to $10B+ market-cap underlyings — the most stable, liquid options universe.

What this preset does

The Large Cap preset filters for:

  • Market Cap ≥ $10B
  • Standard wheel DTE
  • Liquid contracts
  • Liquidity Cleanup on

Result: a clean universe of well-known names where options are deep, spreads are tight, and surprises are rarer.

When to use it

  • You want institutional-quality underlyings only.
  • You're managing a substantial wheel account.
  • You're avoiding small-cap blow-ups.

  1. Open the Put screener.
  2. Apply Large Cap Put preset.
  3. Set Delta = −0.25 to −0.15.
  4. Set Yield ≥ 0.8%.
  5. Sort by Rating descending.

You'll see CSPs on names like AAPL, MSFT, GOOGL, JPM, JNJ, UNH, etc.
