What Is PutHouse?

Learn what PutHouse is, who it is for, and how the platform automates covered calls and cash-secured puts with AI explanations and risk guardrails.

PutHouse is an AI options trader focused on two income strategies: covered calls and cash-secured puts.

The goal is simple: help investors generate options income with a more systematic process, better risk guardrails, and clearer explanations than they usually get from manual trading or a generic brokerage app.

What PutHouse does

PutHouse connects to your brokerage account through Alpaca and automates the repetitive parts of options income trading:

  • screening for qualified opportunities
  • selecting strikes and expirations within defined rules
  • managing entries and exits
  • applying position sizing and portfolio limits
  • explaining each trade in plain English

Instead of watching charts all day, checking Greeks manually, or guessing when to roll, you get a rules-based workflow that stays focused on income-oriented strategies.

What PutHouse is not

PutHouse is not a day-trading chat room, a meme-stock alert service, or a black-box "AI bot" that chases every options setup it can find.

It is also not a full-service broker. Your brokerage account stays with Alpaca. PutHouse handles the strategy layer, automation, and explanations on top of that connection.

Why PutHouse exists

Many investors like the idea of selling options for income, but the manual process can turn into a second job. You have to monitor positions, track risk, avoid emotional decisions, and stay available during market hours.

PutHouse was built to solve that problem with a narrower, more disciplined approach:

  • focus on covered calls and cash-secured puts instead of every possible options trade
  • automate repetitive execution instead of relying on memory and screen time
  • explain what the system is doing instead of hiding behind vague signals
  • use risk guardrails so the platform is not just optimizing for activity

What makes PutHouse different

1. Focused strategy scope

Many platforms throw every chart, scanner, and contract at you. PutHouse is intentionally narrower. It is built around covered calls and cash-secured puts, which keeps the experience aligned with investors seeking systematic options income rather than constant speculation.

2. Explanations with each trade

A lot of automation tools tell you what happened but not why. PutHouse includes AI explanations so you can understand the market context, strategy logic, and risk reasoning behind each decision.

3. Guardrails instead of pure activity

Some products are optimized to keep you trading. PutHouse is built with rules around position sizing, liquidity, volatility, and exits so the system can prioritize consistency and risk management.

4. Your brokerage, your control

PutHouse works with your connected brokerage account. You are not wiring funds into a mystery platform. You keep visibility into your positions and can pause or disconnect when needed.

Who PutHouse is for

PutHouse is a good fit for investors who:

  • want options income without making trading a full-time job
  • prefer systematic rules over emotion-driven decisions
  • want help understanding trades, not just copying them
  • like the covered call and cash-secured put style of trading

It is a weaker fit for people who want to scalp options all day, trade highly speculative contracts, or manually control every single decision.
