Running a MELI wheel strategy lets you generate consistent premium income on MercadoLibre Inc while setting your own entry and exit prices on the underlying. MercadoLibre Inc's wheel combines cash-secured puts and covered calls into a repeatable cycle: sell puts at strikes where you'd be happy to own MELI, and if assigned, sell calls at strikes where you'd be happy to sell. Use our scanner to find the best MELI wheel strategy setups in real time.
The wheel works best on liquid, high-quality names with stable fundamentals and active options markets — exactly the profile many large-cap leaders fit. The mechanics are simple: sell a cash-secured put on MELI, collect premium, and either keep the premium if it expires worthless or take assignment at a discount to current price. Once assigned, sell covered calls against the shares to keep collecting premium until they're called away. Choosing the right strikes, expirations, and IV environment is what separates a profitable MELI wheel from a losing one.
