Verdict: Yes

Which tickers are actually tradeable for put selling?

6 of 12
SOXL · TQQQ · QQQ · IWM · SPY · DIA

Long leveraged ETFs (SOXL, TQQQ) and the big index ETFs pay after the spread. Inverse and volatility products do not: on UVXY the spread eats 91% of the premium, UPRO 98%, VXX 102% — negative before any assignment. And time of day matters more than most parameters: sell in the early-to-mid afternoon, never at the open.
