Adrian Rosebrock Launches WheelMetrics to Formalize Options Trading

The platform addresses a common pitfall in the popular 'Wheel Strategy,' where investors sell cash-secured puts on stocks they barely understand. Rosebrock, who holds a PhD in computer science and previously founded the computer vision platform PyImageSearch, argues that the current industry standard of prioritizing premium yields over company quality is fundamentally flawed. His methodology flips the script by requiring users to pass quantitative and fundamental screens before they even look at options data.

This 'quantamental' approach draws from Rosebrock’s five-year deep dive into quantitative trading following the sale of his previous firm in 2021. By building a framework that replaces gut-level intuition with repeatable criteria, WheelMetrics aims to stabilize the portfolios of self-directed investors. The platform, which also supports Rosebrock’s work as a portfolio manager at AltFnd Capital, enforces transparency by subjecting trading results to independent verification every six months. Rather than selling the dream of passive income, the service positions itself as a disciplined tool for those who recognize that avoiding a poor underlying asset is often more critical than securing a short-term payout.
