Options trading journal
An Options Trading Journal That Records What Actually Happened
An options trading journal is a record of every options trade you make — the plan, each entry and exit, prices, fees and your notes — so you can measure results and improve your process over time.
What a good options journal captures
- The contract: ticker, type, strike, expiration
- Every entry and partial exit with quantity, price and fees
- The underlying price at each execution
- The original thesis and post-trade notes
Why spreadsheets fall short
Multiple entries, partial exits and fee allocation make options P&L hard to calculate by hand. Errors compound and reviews stop happening.
The SwingLEAP journal
- Planned vs actual vs variance for every trade
- Multiple option entries, average-down tracking and multiple exits
- Broker CSV imports (Robinhood, Webull, Fidelity, Charles Schwab) with review before saving
- P&L calculated consistently, including proportional fee allocation
SwingLEAP is a planning and record-keeping tool. It does not recommend trades, predict prices, or execute orders.
