What you get
CSP → assignment → covered calls → called away. One position, one net P&L — premiums and share gains/losses combined. No other journal connects the whole cycle.
Roll a put or call in a single step: buy back the old leg, open the new one, see the net credit instantly — all inside the same position.
Win rate, cash-on-cash return, open premium, and realized P&L — calculated automatically every time you log a trade.
Know exactly where your adjusted break-even sits after rolls and premiums, and whether your yield beats buy-and-hold SPY.
How it works
01
Enter your ticker, strike, expiry, and premium. Choose CSP, Covered Call, or PMCC. Done.
02
One-click rolls. Get assigned? Convert to a Wheel and keep selling calls against your shares — the full cycle stays one position.
03
Win rate, realized P&L, open premium, break-even, and annualised return. Recalculated every time you touch a trade.
Built by a trader, for traders
I'm Joel, creator of Joel Income Journal. Since 2025 I've been publicly documenting my real portfolio — dividend income, covered calls, and PMCCs — on Substack and YouTube. JIJ Options is the tool I built to track it properly, because no spreadsheet could keep up.
No broker imports, no options screener, no 47-column view. Just your trades, your numbers, in a UI you'll actually open.
FAQ
No — and that's deliberate. Broker imports break constantly and dump hundreds of rows you don't care about. Logging a trade here takes 30 seconds, and every entry is one you chose to track. Wheel traders make a handful of trades a month, not a thousand.
Connection. A spreadsheet stores rows; JIJ Options stores positions. When your CSP gets assigned and you start selling calls, the app knows those belong together — and your net P&L includes the premiums, the share loss or gain, everything. No formulas to maintain, no #REF! errors.
Yes. Your data belongs to your account alone, protected by row-level security — not even other users can query it. And you can export everything as CSV anytime, so you are never locked in.
Free covers cash-secured puts and covered calls, unlimited, no time limit, no card required. Pro ($5.99/mo) unlocks Wheel and PMCC tracking, one-click rolls, and the full Dashboard. No trial gimmick — the free plan already lets you try the core product before you ever pay anything.
No. Sign up and start logging CSPs and covered calls immediately — no card, no trial clock. You only enter payment details if and when you choose to upgrade to Pro, and you can cancel that anytime from Settings.
Cash-secured puts, covered calls, the full wheel cycle, and poor-man’s covered calls (99Δ ITM LEAPS + short calls). Spreads and iron condors are not the focus — this is a tool for income traders.
