Income investing

Exploring high-income ETFs and other income strategies?

If you are researching high-income ETFs, hedge funds, or other income strategies, options income may be worth understanding. CycleSpreads is a trade alert service, not a fund or ETF. Supported partners can execute eligible alerts in your own brokerage account; you retain control of the funds and bear the trading risks.

Your assets stay in your brokerage account, where you can view account activity and control your funds. If fund fees or redemption terms matter to you, compare those features with the subscription cost, trading costs, and risks of following options alerts.

For a larger speculative account

With $100K-$500K set aside for speculative trading, we offer a variety of strategies to optimize income. Consider a chat with us prior to allocation.

For a smaller account

With $10K-$20K, start by reviewing Credit Spreads and its defined-risk structure. Program 3 suggests $20K or more. The strategy pages explain how each approach works.

Trading approaches

How the two approaches work.

Wheel strategy

Long-term income extraction

Program 3, Max Income, and PRS are built around the wheel approach: using cash-secured puts, covered calls, and position management to keep extracting income from quality positions over time. The focus is not on tight stop losses or short-term exits; it is on collecting premium, managing assignment, rolling when needed, and staying disciplined through the full position cycle.

Credit spreads

Defined-risk threshold trading

Credit Spreads use a different framework. Each trade has defined risk from the start and is built around the market staying inside structural thresholds. Instead of owning or working through assignment, the strategy focuses on selecting spread levels where the market has room to move without exceeding the trade's risk-defined boundaries.
