Track your book

Save it, track it, close it — at any price, including $0.00

A saved trade is a live position: every visit to Trades re-prices your open positions from a fresh chain, and a background job snapshots them through the trading day, so the P/L history builds itself. This article covers the lifecycle — saving, correcting the fill, drafts, deleting, and the archive.

Saving from the builder

Press Save in the builder. The dialog shows each leg’s quoted price next to an editable filled at field, because you never fill at the quote — the chain said 1.20, your broker said 1.17, and every downstream number keys off the entry. You can also type one net fill for the whole position and the legs back-solve proportionally. Anonymous saves are kept on this device (up to 3) and move into your account when you sign up; free accounts hold 3 saved trades, Pro is unlimited.

The Trades page listing open positions with live P/L, a draft row, and the archive section — Open positions re-value on every visit. Drafts show no P/L — there is nothing to value yet.

Drafts

Signed in, the builder offers Save draft — an unfinished ticket, not a position. A draft shows no valuation, no P/L, no DTE; it holds your legs and notes until you finish it. Opening a draft lands back in the builder in edit mode, and finishing it promotes it to a real saved trade.

Closing

Close a position at whatever it actually settled at — including $0.00. A put that expires worthless is worth zero, and recording it as a penny quietly corrupts the realized ledger, the cycle basis and every return derived from them. Closed trades keep the price you closed at; they are never re-quoted.

Deleting, and the archive

Delete asks first, then offers Undo for a few seconds after — on the row and inside the position detail. A second delete forfeits the first undo, so take them one at a time.
Expired open positions file themselves into the archive with a settled valuation — nothing silently disappears, and the archive keeps the option history for the record.
Rolling: any open position with a live short leg carries a Roll action (on the row and in the builder header). The preview prices the buy-back and the new sale from the live chain and states the net credit before you confirm.
