About iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF
TLT tracks the long end of the US Treasury curve (20+ year maturities). The single most-watched rates instrument among retail option sellers - fat premiums when yield-curve volatility spikes, near-zero correlation to equity sleeves. Provides duration exposure that no equity or sector ETF replicates; a central building block for macro-tilted CSP portfolios.

TLT — lower-band read with the weakness spread across dimensions rather than concentrated in one. The composite picture, not any single indicator, is the limiting factor.

Calculator assumptions

Cash-secured puts require holding cash equal to strike × 100 shares as collateral. Strike defaults to ~5% OTM, snapped to typical exchange increments. Premium defaults to ~2% of strike — adjust to your real expected fill. Annualized ROC = (premium ÷ collateral) × (365 ÷ DTE). CSP risk is single-name concentration: experienced put-sellers typically diversify across 4–6 underlyings rather than committing the whole account to one ticker. Continuous-rolling projections assume capital can be re-deployed after each expiration and that comparable premiums remain available — actual results vary with market conditions, assignments, and rolls.
