Over some years now, we’ve been asking our PowerOptions free trialers and subscribed users what strategies they use most, here are the results…
| Covered Calls | 4640 | 42% |
| Credit Spreads | 2793 | 25% |
| Long Calls & Puts | 1553 | 14% |
| Naked Puts | 1195 | 11% |
| Married Puts | 858 | 8% |
| 11039 | 100% |
Note: This informal survey is a little biased as we are not showing any of the other dozen or so options strategies that the PowerOptions tools support. Those other strategies represent about 1290 votes or 11%. This poll also doesn’t allow for multiple answers and that introduces some bias as well since I believe many options investors are employing multiple options strategies in their trading.
I thought anyone trading options or researching options would be interested to know how the option strategy interest compares in popularity with those of their fellow investors.

Thank you! Very interesting and helpful. I like the married put strategy the best!
