wheel-candidates

Stocks worth selling a cash-secured put on, re-tuned 2026-10-01 to the 10-year full-cycle wheel backtest (pnpm backtest:wheel — assigned shares' P&L counted). Gates: affordable (one 100-share contract = price × 100 of collateral, indivisibly — Max share price is the budget knob), above their own MA200, still rising over 6 months, realized volatility in the 25–55% band (≥80% names like MARA/COIN were the backtest's worst: rich premium, assignments that never recover), and liquid in dollar volume. Ranked by 6-month trend strength — the backtest's clearest driver of wheel returns. Has NO earnings gate — Alpaca provides no calendar.
