Quotes refresh every ~10 minutes during market hours. The 0–100 Opportunity Score blends conservative (bid-based) income, assignment risk (delta), expected-move coverage, liquidity (spread & open interest), and time to expiration, minus an earnings-overlap penalty — so realistic, tradeable setups float above lottery-ticket contracts. Annualized return is computed from the executable bid against the capital actually at risk: the strike price for cash-secured puts (fully cash-collateralized).

Why screen for high implied volatility?

Implied volatility is the single biggest driver of how much premium a cash-secured put pays. Higher IV means the market expects bigger moves, so option buyers pay up — and as the put seller, you collect that richer premium against the cash you've set aside. This screen restricts the list to contracts on underlyings with implied volatility of 50% or more, where the annualized yields are highest.

The trade-off is real: the same volatility that fattens your premium also raises the odds the stock drops hard through your strike and puts the shares to you well below where you sold the put. That is why the list is still ranked by the 0–100 Opportunity Score — which blends bid-based income, assignment risk (delta), expected-move coverage, liquidity, and duration, minus an earnings penalty — instead of raw yield. You see the high-premium setups that still have a realistic chance of expiring worthless, not just the riskiest lottery tickets.

Discipline that keeps high-IV put selling profitable: only sell puts on names you'd genuinely want to own at the strike, sell further out of the money to widen your buffer, size positions smaller than you would on a calm stock, and avoid writing through earnings unless you understand the IV-crush trade. Toggle “Exclude earnings-week” below to drop any contract whose expiration straddles an earnings date.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a high-IV cash-secured put?

This screen filters to contracts whose underlying has an implied volatility of 50% or higher. That captures the names where put premiums are richest — typically high-growth tech, semiconductors, crypto-linked stocks, and momentum names — while excluding the low-IV blue chips and index ETFs whose premiums barely clear commissions.

Is high IV good or bad for cash-secured puts?

Both. High IV inflates the premium you collect, which is good for income, but it also reflects bigger expected price swings, which raises the chance the stock drops through your strike and you're assigned the shares. The premium is compensation for that risk — high IV is only an advantage if you'd be comfortable owning the stock at your strike through the volatility it implies.

How are the high-IV put setups ranked?

By the same 0–100 Opportunity Score used across CoverEdge's screeners: it blends conservative bid-based income, assignment risk (delta), expected-move coverage, liquidity (spread & open interest), and time to expiration, minus an earnings-overlap penalty. Ranking on economics rather than raw yield keeps realistic, tradeable setups on top instead of the riskiest deep-ITM short-dated lottery tickets.

Should I sell cash-secured puts through earnings on high-IV names?

IV is usually highest right before earnings because a big move is priced in — but that premium is compensation for genuine gap risk, not free money. Many sellers avoid contracts whose expiration covers an earnings date. Use the “Exclude earnings-week” toggle to hide them, or accept the risk only on shares you'd be happy to own through a double-digit drop.
