Options for Income

As an entry level options trading service from Jay Soloff, Options for Income is a covered call service with a twist. Every Tuesday you’ll get a new trade from Jay and three strategies to execute the trade: conservative for newer traders, aggressive for willing to take more risk for more rewards, and moderate.

Options for Income is published every Tuesday with at least one new trade recommendation. Subscribers also receive a full library of training videos on various options trade types.

Options Insiders

Options Insiders is an upgraded version of Options for Income for those traders who want more trade ideas, more commentary, video, and faster delivery of trade recommendations via text alerts. Options Insiders additionally comes with a weekly video recap of all open trades and a monthly live strategy session. Insider trades tend to be more advanced spread trades (but debit trades only, no margin account necessary).

Because Options Insiders comes with everything that a subscription to Options for Income does, in addition to it’s own features, a subscription to Options for Income is required for Options Insiders membership.

Weekly Income Accelerator

30-Day Double Up is an options trading service from veteran trader Rick Rouse. The objective of 30-Day Double Up is to bring you at least one 100%+ winning trade every 30 days – about once per month. Rick’s 13-year track record shows just about 20% of his trades have been 100%+ winners with the average win across all winners being 82%… all using trades that are generally no more than two to three weeks in duration.

The service includes daily updates, text alerts for new trades and any trade adjustments, live monthly strategy sessions, and a 4-part Masterclass.

Trading Rick’s recommendations requires Level 2 authorization from your broker.
