Cheapest options with daily expiry?

I have been selling put options on a couple of these etfs and have been doing very well. Better than buying call or puts. I don't mind getting the assigned shares when or if the etf falls and have been grabbing descent credit on each one I do. IWM is one of my favorites however I wish they would expand it to daily. ...I actually may step away from buying stocks and just focus on these type of options since it's been doing very well for me.
If I am assigned the position I then will set Covered calls and collect credit in that direction, it's been a win win so far in 2024

Where is the problem then?
Just find/compile a list of tickers with daily options and sort it ascendingly for the underlying price...

And: also weeklys become dailys once in a week (on the last day) :)
And: also monthly become dailys once in a month (on the last day) :)
And: also quarterlys become dailys once in a quarter (on the last day) :)

And: if you use a ComboOrder then the requirement can be much lower than when doing the same by using multiple single-leg orders.
Ie. then you could use also highly priced underlying tickers.
Study the requirement formula of CC, for example, and certainly of spread trades.

no no...I just want to know if I have listed all the dailys or if I am missing any. No spreads. Never give back premium to hedge...premium is the hedge.
 
Some European exchanges have begun offering also some Daily Options and 0DTE, for example EUREX :

Is it fair to assume that because of the short expiration that the annualized premium is much higher?

That's something an option professional can answer. I just started playing these type of options about 6 months ago...
All I kmow is I completely stopped with your basic calls and puts. Getting the credit up front is where I now focus on.
