Return on capital
Weekly premium collected divided by collateral at risk — the income metric for put sellers.
What it is
Return on Capital (ROC) for put selling: the premium collected divided by the capital at risk (strike × 100). A 1% weekly ROC means $1 earned per $100 of collateral held.
Why it matters
ROC/week is the core metric for the Wheel strategy because it tells you how efficiently your capital is working. A put that collects $100 premium on a $5,000 collateral requirement generates 2% ROC/week — much more useful than knowing the raw dollar premium.
How the screener uses it
The Cash-Secured Puts screener ranks results by weekly return on capital and flags 1%+ ROC/week as the target. Score formula: (ROC/Week × 20) − (RSI × 0.1). High ROC/wk = high income. The Wheel Tracker tracks cumulative premium versus a weekly income target so you can see whether your yield-per-capital is on track.
