About Credit Put Spread Garage

Why the garage

The garage was always the spot. Skateboard ramps, chemistry sets, fixing bikes, building computers, taking things apart to see how they work. Cars and motorcycles later. Your space. Spread out, figure things out, leave things laid out for days or weeks until it's done. Own space, own rules.

Why credit put spreads

I did really well in a bull market. Consistent profits. Literally turned $1k into $40k within a year, just on SPY. Then I didn't know how to adjust when things went sideways. Lost a lot of money, fast.

I've learned a lot since then — recency bias, charting, position sizing. I understand credit put spreads well enough now to find opportunities outside of SPY. I was only using SPY before as a controlled variable. Turns out that was limiting.

The automation

A few conditions can present opportunities. They come up often enough when you expand to all S&P 500 and QQQ tickers. I've removed a few that are in highly volatile industries — crypto-adjacent stocks and the like.

I added automation to find these positions and rate them daily. Logic for strikes and expiration too. I always stick to one position at a time, so scaling is easy. The knowledge base has a lot of what I've learned over the past few years.

AI transparency

Not going to hide it — I'm proud of the automation. Some people look down on "AI slop." Fair. A lot of this site was generated with AI, and the positions are maintained by AI under human-defined rules. The point isn't to replace judgment. It's to make the judgment visible: positions, trades, and performance are all live. Watch it work, or don't.
