Features

How our

Trading Journal

transforms your options trading

Uncover hidden gems with smart grouping

Let's say you notice a pattern –for example, your winning trades all seem to involve a fixed strategy. Our powerful grouping feature categorizes your trades by various criteria, including expiration, strategy, ticker symbol, etc. This helps you dissect trends and connections that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Effortlessly monitor your open positions

Staying on top of your open positions is essential for managing risk and maximizing profits. OptionSamurai's Trading Journal keeps all your open trades in one centralized location, providing a clear view of your current market exposure. No more flipping through scattered notes or spreadsheets –you can see everything at a glance, helping you quickly adjust and optimize your portfolio strategy.

Test new ideas before you risk real capital

Have a hot new options strategy you're itching to try?Stay away from the live market. Our journal enables you to "papertrade" your strategy, simulating trades based on historical data. This risk-free environment lets you test your ideas and build confidence before putting your real money on the line.

Develop a personalized strategy

Intuition can only take you so far. Every trade you make is meticulously recorded, along with its outcome, market conditions, and your emotional state. Overtime, your journal becomes a source of unique insights, allowing you to move beyond guesswork and make informed decisions based on what has worked for you.
