These trades come as the #46 and #47 in the month of September, according to my trading plan for this month, the premium generated from this trade makes me about 2.52% of my $1,000 monthly goal.  While in total I have reached already 116.5% so far. Awesome!

Here is the trade setup:

• SLD 1 VIAC OCT 29 '21 39 Put Option 1.10 USD

• BOT 1 VIAC OCT 29 '21 38 Put Option 0.80 USD

For this credit spread, I got a credit of 25.2 USD (after commissions) or a 0.64% potential income return in 31 days, if options expire worthlessly

What happens next?

On the expiry date, October 29, 2021, VIAC is trading above $39 per share -  options expire worthlessly and I keep premium - if VIAC trades under $39 on the expiry date, I will get assigned 100 shares and will have to buy them for $3,900

But as I already have collected a premium of $0.25 per share, my break-even price for this trade then will be $39-$0.25 = $38.75

In case of assignment, I will turn this trade into a wheel strategy and will start selling covered calls
