// The approach

Sell The Put.
Collect The Yield.
Every Week.

Every Sunday evening we sell out-of-the-money ES put options on the E-Mini S&P 500 futures contract. We collect the premium upfront as yield, targeting statistically favorable strikes below the current market.

99% of the time, the market stays above our strike by Friday expiration and the put expires worthless — we keep the full premium. We never use stop losses. We let the trade run to expiration every week.

On the rare occasion the market closes below our strike, we take assignment — we are now long ES futures at the strike price. Historical data shows the maximum drawdown from this position is 2–3.73%. The position recovers in approximately 7 days, at which point we exit at breakeven or profit and resume selling puts the following Sunday.

RISK DISCLOSURE — Trading futures and options involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not indicative of future results. A 99% historical expiry rate does not guarantee future results. Assignment on a sold put results in a long futures position which carries significant market risk. PutYield is not a registered investment adviser or commodity trading adviser. All trade alerts are for educational and informational purposes only and do not constitute personalized financial or investment advice. You are solely responsible for all trading decisions and outcomes. You could lose more than your initial margin deposit. Always consult a licensed financial or legal advisor before trading futures or options. See our full Risk Disclosure for complete details.
// Common questions

FAQ.

What account size do I need?
Selling one ES put requires approximately $5,000–$8,000 in margin depending on your broker and current volatility. To also handle assignment (holding long ES futures through recovery), we recommend a minimum $25,000–$30,000 account. Micro ES (MES) futures reduce these requirements by 90%.
What happens when we get assigned?
On the rare occasion (roughly 1% of trades) the market closes below our strike at Friday expiration, we take assignment — we are now long ES futures at the strike price. We hold this position and provide daily Discord updates. Historical data shows the maximum drawdown from this scenario is 2–3.73%, with an average recovery time of approximately 7 days. We exit at breakeven or profit and resume selling puts the following Sunday.
Why no stop losses?
We run this strategy to expiration every week. Stop losses on short options can cause you to close a position at a loss that would have expired worthless had you held. Instead, we let the market decide by Friday. If assigned, we manage the resulting long futures position through to recovery rather than locking in a loss early.
Do I need futures options approval from my broker?
Yes. You need a futures-enabled account with options trading approval (typically Level 3 or equivalent). Tastytrade and Interactive Brokers are the most popular among our members. We have step-by-step setup guides for both in the Strategy Vault.
When exactly does the Sunday alert go out?
The alert goes out Sunday evening when CME Globex opens. You can place the trade immediately or wait for Monday's regular session open. We post in Discord and send a push notification simultaneously.
Is this available outside the US?
Yes. CME ES futures are accessible globally through Interactive Brokers and other international brokers. The alerts and Discord community are fully remote. Tax treatment of futures gains varies by country — consult a local tax professional.
Can I cancel anytime?
Monthly members can cancel before their next billing date with no penalty. Annual members are locked in for 12 months at the discounted rate. No partial refunds on unused months.
