Running a QMOM wheel strategy lets you generate consistent premium income on Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF while setting your own entry and exit prices on the underlying. Alpha Architect U.S. Quantitative Momentum ETF's wheel combines cash-secured puts and covered calls into a repeatable cycle: sell puts at strikes where you'd be happy to own QMOM, and if assigned, sell calls at strikes where you'd be happy to sell. Use our scanner to find the best QMOM 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 QMOM, 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 QMOM wheel from a losing one.
The Adviser employs a multi-step, quantitative, rules-based methodology to identify a portfolio of approximately 50 to 100 equity securities with the highest relative momentum. A “momentum” style of investing emphasizes investing in securities that have had higher recent total return performance compared to other securities. The Adviser then employs proprietary screens to eliminate companies with issues that may negatively impact their momentum. The fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in cash and cash equivalents, other investment companies, as well as securities and other instruments.
The difference between a wheel that compounds and one that bleeds comes down to strike selection, IV timing, and discipline on assignment. Our scanner handles the heavy lifting: it ranks every leg of the QMOM wheel strategy by delta, premium yield, IV rank, and days to expiration, so you can deploy capital where the math works. Build your QMOM wheel strategy on data, not gut feel — and let the options wheel do what it does best: pay you to wait.
