Capital — Paper Main

Three different questions about the same money, kept apart on purpose: what you own, what is spoken for, and what each strategy can still spend. Only the first is the broker's view; the other two are this system's own rules.

Free to spend without touching collateral $37,061.12
Cash $63,070.51 − If every put assigns $25,500.00 − Cash reserve (0.5%) $509.39 = $37,061.12

Spend inside this and an assignment still gets funded from cash. Above it, you would be relying on selling something or on margin at exactly the moment the market has gone against you. Buying power ($114,236.54) is deliberately not the number here — it includes borrowed capacity, so it always looks larger than what you can safely deploy.

1 · What you own

Broker truth. Sums to equity exactly.

Cash$63,070.51
Positions (market value)$38,807.43
Equity$101,877.94

2 · What is spoken for

This system's accounting, not the broker's. $50,081.82 of $101,877.94 equity is committed across strategies. This money has not left the account — it is capacity that is already claimed.

A wheel put reserves its FULL STRIKE (what assignment would cost), not the option's market value — which is why the wheel's share looks large next to the few hundred dollars of premium it earned.

3 · What each strategy can still spend

Committed against its own ceiling — and, crucially, how much of the remainder it can actually reach. Before any strategy spends, it must leave every other pool's unused room alone, so a pool can sit well under its own limit and still be unable to trade.

each one an obligation to buy

Selling a put pays you now in exchange for a promise to buy the stock at the strike if it falls below. The premium is yours immediately; the collateral never leaves your cash unless you are actually assigned. If the option expires above the strike, the obligation simply disappears and the collateral is released — that is the outcome the strategy is playing for.
