Put Strike Ladder [ThetaLoop]
The Put Strike Ladder is a chart-side cheat sheet for cash-secured-put
research. It draws several candidate put strikes below current price and
labels each rung with the numbers you actually compare when picking a strike:
- Strike price
- Percent out-of-the-money
- Collateral required per contract (strike × 100)
- Distance from current price in ATR(14) units
- Distance from the 200-day SMA in percent
Spacing can be `Auto` (heuristic by price level) or `Manual` (set your own
dollar step to match the option-chain). Optional inputs let you assume a
premium per share to see static yield, or enter an account size to see the
collateral on the top rung as a percent of the account.
This is a map of the option-chain landscape. It is not a trade recommendation,
it does not predict which strike will work, and it does not call live option
prices.

Options involve substantial risk and are not suitable for every investor.
Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
Inputs the user must change before use
- `Spacing Mode` — `Auto` is fine; switch to `Manual` if you want to match a
specific option-chain step
- `Manual Spacing ($)` — only if mode = Manual
- `Max Ladder Levels` — how many rungs to draw
- `Assumed Premium per Share` *(optional)* — to display static yield
- `Account Size` *(optional)* — to display collateral / account percent
