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, or $49/year — 2 months free) 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.
Email us within 30 days of your first payment and you get a full refund — no questions asked. After that, you can cancel anytime from Settings and keep Pro until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
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.
