Options Trading Journal
Track every options contract — from open to close, roll, assignment, or expiration. 30+ predefined strategies detected automatically. Rollover chains, per-leg P&L, option Greeks, IV, and ledger-accurate accounting — so you know exactly where every dollar came from.
Rollover chains, strategy badges, per-leg P&L, Greeks, and multi-leg positions — all in one table.
Log Single-Leg Trades in Seconds
Covered calls, cash-secured puts, protective puts, naked options — pick the contract type, enter your strike and premium, and you're done. Optionally capture delta, theta, gamma, vega, and implied volatility at open and again at close to track how conditions shifted.
Greeks show up right in the trade table — sortable, filterable, and easy to toggle on or off.
Multi-Leg Positions with Auto Strategy Detection
Iron condors, vertical spreads, butterflies, straddles — add up to 8 legs and TickerScribe identifies the strategy automatically based on strikes, expirations, and contract types. No manual tagging.
Net premium, aggregate Greeks, and per-leg P&L are computed for the entire position. Close individual legs or the whole position at once.
30+ Strategies with Payoff Diagrams
Filter by market direction — Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral — and see every strategy side by side. Each card includes a short description and a payoff-at-expiration diagram so you can quickly identify the structure you need.
Pick a strategy and the trade form opens with the correct legs already set up. Add your strikes, premiums, and expiration — the structure is handled for you.
Turn Trades into Insights
Analyze your options trades across every dimension — strategy P&L breakdown, win rate by strategy, outcome distribution, days-to-expiration performance, and price-range patterns. Instantly see which strategies actually make money and which ones quietly bleed.
Filter by date range, ticker, or strategy to drill into the patterns that matter. The data is already there — TickerScribe just surfaces what's worth knowing.
Built for How Options Actually Work
Rollover Chains
Roll a covered call or CSP and TickerScribe links the contracts into a single chain — opening credit, closing debit, net premium, and cumulative P&L across every roll.
Assignment & Expiration
One-click assignment, exercise, or expiration. Stock acquisitions are recorded automatically, cost basis adjusts, and the full premium credits to your realized P&L.
Greeks & IV at Open and Close
Capture delta, gamma, theta, vega, and implied volatility when you open and when you close. Compare entry vs. exit side by side in the trade table.
Ledger-Accurate P&L
Every premium, commission, and assignment is posted to a double-entry ledger. Per-leg, per-chain, and total position P&L are derived from entries that must balance — accurate to the penny.
30+ Predefined Strategies
Enter your legs and TickerScribe detects the strategy automatically — based on strikes, expirations, and contract types. No manual tagging needed.
