INTERPRETATION
Primary: 19 contracts at $47 / 2d. This is the safest strike (survival 91%, breach 9%) that still earns 50% of normal income ($7,969/mo); it brings $8,265/mo. The engine maximizes the odds the pullback never reaches your strike, rather than chasing the fattest near-ATM premium.
More income, less safety: the ladder tops out at 18 × $45/2d for $16,200/mo, but breach risk rises to 14% (+5pp vs the primary). The lower strike is hit by a smaller bounce.
More safety, less income: for just the hedge you can sit at 16 × $51/2d (97% survival, $1,440/mo).
Downside anchor: the primary mortgages $39,174 (286% of IC) ONLY on a full V-bounce all the way to SS $63, recoverable in 2.5 months of normal income. That is the rare tail; the frequent case is the strike holding. Surgical close on the 19 contracts realizes $-52,193 and cuts bleed by $1,362/mo.

📅 Two weekly tracks, this Friday & next Friday

Each Friday gets its own recommended pick and full income ladder (safest strike per income rung, sized across your 20 contracts). The master ranks the two by E[net]/mo to pick one grand pick; both are shown here so you can choose the tenor that fits your roll cadence.

🏆 Grand pick: THIS FRIDAY · 10 Jul 2026 (2d) · sell 19 × $47, 91% survival, $8,265/mo (E[net] $2,668/mo).
The two weekly tracks below are ranked by E[net]/mo = income − P(touch) × escape cost. Each has its own full ladder.

📅 THIS FRIDAY · 10 Jul 2026 · 2d · E[net] $2,668/mo 🏆 GRAND PICK

🎯 Engine pick: sell 19 × $47 (primary), 91% survival, breach 9%, $8,265/mo.
The pick is already past the ~80% (≈1σ) comfort line, so take the income. Stepping out to the $48 rung (33% normal) lifts survival to 93% (breach 9% → 7%) for $2,850/mo less (34% income) buys safety you do not really need here.

A nudge, not a rule: the engine maximizes income at acceptable safety; this weighs the income you would give up against the breach risk you would shed. Your hedge bleed and your read on IREN are the tiebreakers.

📅 NEXT FRIDAY · 17 Jul 2026 · 9d · E[net] $1,444/mo

🎯 Engine pick: sell 18 × $47 (primary), 78% survival, breach 22%, $8,400/mo.
⚖️ Worth a safer step: the $50 rung (33% normal) lifts survival to 86% (breach 22% → 14%) for $2,867/mo less (34% income), and it still covers your hedge. The pick sits below the ~80% (≈1σ) comfort line; on a drawdown you are nursing back, dodging the frequent breach usually beats the extra premium. Lean: the safer $50 rung, unless you need the income to cover the hedge bleed, or you expect IREN to stay flat-to-down near term.

Income/mo = FIGHT leg gross, DTE-prorated. Net/mo = FIGHT + conservative CC gross minus hedge cost. POP (mid) = probability stock closes at or below (strike + mid premium) at expiry, per-strike chain IV when available. Survival = CC expires fully worthless. EV/mo = premium minus expected buyback, monthly, with realized vol = IV x 85% (variance risk premium 15%). Cap give-up @ SS = recovery mortgaged on a V-bounce to SS, net of premium. Total P&L @ SS = absolute position P&L if the stock closes at SS; "vs do-nothing" = opportunity cost against holding all 20 contracts at the conservative CC.
