Cabot Options Institute – Income Trader Issue: May 23, 2022
Welcome to Cabot Options Institute’s Income Trader!
In today’s issue, we aren’t going to do any heavy lifting. No market commentary, just an overview of Income Trader and what to expect going forward. We will have plenty of time to get into the nitty-gritty. Today, I simply want to go over the ins and outs of the service so that you can efficiently and effectively take advantage of all the content provided including details on issues, trade alerts, webinars and more.
My suggestion is take your time to read through everything. Get comfortable with the approach, strategies used and write down questions as you go along. Don’t hesitate to send me emails as you go through all of the content. That’s why I’m here. I will also be holding a live monthly webinar every Thursday during the week of expiration where you can ask any and all questions. Of course, we will keep you updated when to expect the next webinar and if you can’t attend, no worries, all of our webinars/videos will be archived on your subscriber page to peruse at your leisure.
Trade when you are ready! Don’t force it. Know prior to every trade how much you stand to lose so that you can position-size accordingly. I often recommend paper trading if you are just starting out. Once you progress and want to trade with “skin in the game,” start small. Learn the importance of position size and what works for you. Be realistic in your expectations. Understand what a winning and losing trade look like and the mechanics of how we react in both cases. You can learn my approach to risk management and much more in the User Guide and reports below.
I recommend starting with the
User Guide.
In the User Guide you will learn what to expect for content and when you will be receiving it. You’ll also learn the basics of my approach including a brief overview of the strategies we use.
Once you have moved through the User Guide, please read the following reports included on your subscription page.
- The Foundation of Taking a Statistical Approach to Options Trading
- The Importance of Risk Management
- The Four Main Options Income Strategies
Scouring through these reports will prepare you for what’s to come and will be incredibly helpful once we begin sending out trade alerts. Again, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me at andy@cabotwealth.com.
Current Positions
No current positions.
I will be sending out a trade alert or two over the next week or so. Alerts will go out through email and text alerts. Expect to see lots of statistics, mostly probabilities and the like, with each opening alert. This gives you the ability to take a look at my stance on the trade and alter if you wish. And, as always, I will send out a closing alert when the time comes. Closing alerts typically only contain the trade and a brief sentence or two. Once the trade is closed we will discuss the trade in greater detail in both the ensuing weekly update and next live webinar.
ETF Watchlist
Will be published in Issue #1 next week.

Next Live Analyst Briefing with Q&A
Our first live analyst briefing with Q&A scheduled for Thursday, June 16, 2022 at 1pm EST. As always, I will be discussing the options market, a detailed look at open positions, strategies used, and a follow-up with live questions. But I also want to take some time to go through the ins and outs of the service and what to expect going forward, so I’ll probably go a little longer than usual, possibly upwards of 45 minutes to an hour, potentially longer if we have lots of questions…and I hope we do. Register here.
The next Cabot Options Institute – Income Trader issue will be published on June 3, 2022.
