Premium folds into your cost basis

Every premium you collect lowers your effective share cost. Telemetry keeps a rolling adjusted cost basis so you always know your real break-even, not the price you were assigned at.

Per-cycle P&L and collateral

What you get

Common questions

What is the options wheel strategy?

The wheel is selling cash-secured puts on a stock you're willing to own, taking assignment if it drops, then selling covered calls on the assigned shares until they're called away, collecting premium at each step. Telemetry tracks the full cycle and what it actually earns.

How is adjusted cost basis calculated?

Every premium collected on the underlying reduces your effective share cost. Telemetry rolls these together so your break-even reflects all the income the wheel has generated, not just the assignment price.

Does it handle rolls and partial assignments?

Yes, rolls, assignments, and the collateral relationship between a put and a later covered call are tracked as one continuous cycle.
