CCO+Precursive Intelligence Weekly Digest: Week Ending September 20, 2026
Ten early closes, six new puts, and a fully cash-secured book.
This post covers CCO's simulated paper-trading account. No real capital is being deployed here -- every trade, dollar, and position below is part of an ongoing paper simulation of a covered-call/cash-secured-put "Wheel" strategy.
This Week's Activity
The account opened 6 new cash-secured put positions this week, collecting $4,251.68 in premium:
MPC -- 3 puts, $365 strike, exp 10/20, $1,622.22 collected

On the other side of the ledger, 10 previously open puts were closed early this week, generating a combined net P&L of $8,221.90. Tickers involved: MPC, ANET, BA, CHRW, SMCI, COP, PANW, DDOG, META, and UPS. Standout closes included PANW (+$2,294.13) and DDOG (+$1,982.49). Each early close also released its associated collateral back to available cash.
There were no assignments and no expirations this week -- every position that closed did so via an early buy-to-close.
