Thirteen languages, a risk history, how-to guides, and a faster app

Four weeks in one note. TickerScribe now runs in thirteen languages — and nothing switches until you pick one. A new Risk History page replays how much of your capital was working and how much market your book was carrying, day by day. A spread can be settled at expiration in one action, a single leg can be assigned on its own, break-even reads as its own column, and you can measure against the index you actually trade instead of the one we picked for you.

Trade Notes gained a full trade log with R multiples and a review pane beside the chart, options learned partial closes and one-click expiry, portfolio beta reads how much market your book carries, and every account finally adds up on one screen.

How to Track Option Rolls (and Why Your Broker's Number Is Probably Wrong)

Roll an option and your broker books it as two unlinked trades — so its P&L can show a loss on a roll you closed for a credit. Here's the net-credit math to track a roll correctly, carried across a full chain.
