# PMCC Scanner Finds optimal Poor Man's Covered Call setups by scoring symbols on option chain quality. ## What is PMCC? Buy deep ITM LEAPS call (delta ~0.80) + Sell short-term OTM call (delta ~0.20) against it. Cheaper alternative to covered calls. ## Instructions > **Note:** If `uv` is not installed or `pyproject.toml` is not found, replace `uv run python` with `python` in all commands below. ```bash uv run python scripts/scan.py SYMBOLS [options] ``` ## Arguments - `SYMBOLS` - Comma-separated tickers or path to JSON file from bullish scanner - `--min-leaps-days` - Minimum LEAPS expiration in days (default: 270 = 9 months) - `--leaps-delta` - Target LEAPS delta (default: 0.80) - `--short-delta` - Target short call delta (default: 0.20) - `--output` - Save results to JSON file (use this; Claude generates the report from the JSON) - `--report` - Save auto-generated markdown to file (programmatic fallback only — prefer Claude-generated reports) ## Scoring System (max possible: 14, range: -8 to 14) | Category | Condition | Points | |----------|-----------|--------| | **Delta Accuracy** | LEAPS within ±0.05 | +2 | | | LEAPS within ±0.10 | +1 | | | Short within ±0.05 | +1 | | | Short within ±0.10 | +0.5 | | **Liquidity** | LEAPS vol+OI > 100 | +1 | | | LEAPS vol+OI > 20 | +0.5 | | | Short vol+OI > 500 | +1 | | | Short vol+OI > 100 | +0.5 | | **Spread** | LEAPS spread < 5% | +1 | | | LEAPS spread < 10% | +0.5 | | | Short spread < 10% | +1 | | | Short spread < 20% | +0.5 ...
