Income systems are automated strategies that run inside your own brokerage account. You choose which to deploy, how much capital each may use, and how each is configured. From there, the system places and manages trades on its own schedule.

Your money never leaves your brokerage account. We place trades on your behalf; we don't take custody.

Puts idle cash to work rather than leaving it earning nothing. It moves uninvested cash into SGOV, a short-term US Treasury ETF, and rebalances as your available capital changes.

Capital needed by your other active systems is always set aside first, so Cash Reserve only uses what's genuinely spare. It's the lowest-risk system and the usual starting point.

Minimum: $1,000. Requires: any connected brokerage. Runs: every 30 minutes during market hours.

Runs the options wheel on your approved stocks and ETFs. It sells cash-secured puts to collect premium; if a put is assigned and you take delivery of shares, it sells covered calls against them until they're called away, then starts again.

Every contract is held to expiration — the system never rolls or closes early.

Minimum: $5,000. Requires: options approval at your brokerage. Runs: new entries on Fridays.

Sells short puts on /ES, the S&P 500 futures contract, guided by a trend indicator so it's positioned according to market direction rather than selling blindly. Take profit and stop loss are configurable, and a hedging bot buys put debit spreads when the trend turns bearish.

This is the most advanced of the three and requires the most capital.

Minimum: $8,000. Requires: TastyTrade with futures and options approval. Runs: weekday mornings on scheduled entry days.

You can run all three at once, across one or several brokerage accounts. Each system runs on a single account, and a given system can only be deployed once per account.

A common approach is Cash Reserve on idle cash alongside an income system on allocated capital.

Connecting your brokerage isn't the same as being approved to trade options in it. That approval comes from your brokerage. Check yours before deploying Wheel Paycheck or Futures Paycheck.

These are real strategies trading real money in your account. Options and futures carry risk, including loss. Past performance doesn't predict future results. Only allocate capital you can afford to have at risk, and take the time to understand what each system does before deploying it.
