What’s new
One entry per meaningful change, newest first. The longer story of how each flow works lives in the help center.
OptionTracker now installs like an app on any device: an install icon in desktop browsers, Add to Home Screen on iPhone. And on Pro, the new Device alerts card on the Alerts page sends a push the minute an alert fires — even with the app closed — with per-device toggles for which kinds get through and a test button that only says Sent when the push service really delivered.
See how it worksSend feedback from the footer or Account and you get a ticket number on the spot. The same numbers live on Account → Feedback with their status, so a reply from us is something you can match — not a message into the void. (Spotlight no: the kanban that triages these is an operator screen, not a trader one.)
Account & billingTwo market-day emails about your own book. Before the open: expiries landing today, earnings on your names, covered calls near their strike, rolls worth a look, margin in use. After the close: the day's P/L, the positions that moved it, alerts that fired, premium you logged. Every figure is the dashboard's own number. Off by default — turn each edition on in Account. Pro.
See how it worksRolling options without fooling yourself, the tax mechanics of wheeling (qualified covered calls included), and cash-secured puts versus just buying the stock — each written against the same engine math the app runs, with worked figures you can reproduce in the builder.
Read the blogThe dashboard and portfolio headline is now net of any margin loan — the figure your broker calls account value — with the gross positions total on the line beneath it, labeled. If your headline looks different, that's why: same book, stated the way your statement states it. No margin reading logged? Nothing changes.
See how it worksA short call written inside a wheel or covered-call cycle is a real liability, and the dashboard now prices it instead of ignoring it. The premium still counts exactly once — it already rides the lot's adjusted basis — and a call the chain can't price carries at collected premium with a disclosure, never a silent zero.
See how it worksLog the account's cash balance over time: a margin loan in use reads negative, cash on hand reads positive. Once a reading exists, the dashboard and portfolio headline becomes positions at market plus that balance — the figure brokers call account value — with the gross total on the line beneath. Ceiling alerts watch borrowing in dollars or utilization.
See how it worksNine smaller fixes that add up: the dashboard P/L understands margin, tickers lead every Trades row, positions are editable from their detail view, deleting asks first and offers Undo, back navigation returns to the list you came from, covered calls tracked as cycles now show in Trades, the admin console works one-handed on a phone, and P/L matrices draw the spot price line.
Subscriptions are open: $29 a month or $290 a year (two months free on annual), and every new account starts with 14 days of Pro, no card. Pro is the copilot working on your own book — reading cycles and lots, logging assignments, costing rolls — plus the brokerage-screenshot importer and unlimited saves. The first 100 members lock in founding pricing at $19 a month or $190 a year.
See pricingPick the strike you'd defend and let the durations compete. For a cash-secured put or covered call, the builder's Grid view prices your strike across the next ~4 expiries with premium, annualized yield, delta, $/day and a kind-aware breakeven — effective basis for a CSP, if-called return for a CC — plus a liquidity signal that refuses to claim "at mid" on last-trade data.
See how it worksSell a put on a ticker you're already wheeling and the new position attaches to that cycle on its own. Already holding pieces of a wheel as separate trades and lots? Build-from-existing composes them into one cycle with the right cumulative premium and adjusted basis — and if the app guessed wrong, one tap detaches the position into its own campaign and the guess is never repeated.
See how it worksA performance view over the whole book: realized results from closed trades and cycles, unrealized P/L on what's still open, across the date range you pick. The same engine math as the dashboard, plotted so a month of wheeling reads at a glance.
Open InsightsAny open position with a live short leg carries a Roll action — on its Trades row and in the builder header. The preview prices the close and the new sale from the live chain and states the net credit or debit before you confirm; cycle-linked rolls land in the cycle's timeline.
See how it worksPaste a handful of symbols and they all land at once. Rows carry quote, day range, earnings and ex-dividend dates, and the ticker drawer opens onto a three-month sparkline, charts and news. And a screenshot of any watchlist — a broker's, a spreadsheet, a screener — scans straight into a list, with uncertain symbols flagged for review before anything is written.
See how it worksSave an unfinished build as a draft and pick it up later. Deleting a trade asks first, then offers Undo for a few seconds. Expired positions move to the archive on their own — nothing open ever silently disappears, and closed trades keep the price you actually closed at.
