There's no best, and no strategy guarantees you income. In fact, looking from another perspective, you want to make a profit/income on every trade you make no matter what instrument you trade, so placing certain option spreads into this imaginary "income" category is ridiculous.

Anything that exploits the volatility crush after "big" reports. :cool:

Look into call backspreads. I just found out by them today and I am very very intrigued.

You just learned of this strategy today?

You have no experience using it?

You have no track record?

Yet you propose that someone else trade this strateg?

Do have the slightest idea how difficult it is for a retail customer to trade backspreads? No, of couse not.

It's very difficult. And costly. And not for a beginner.
