Optioneers Journal is a private trading journal built for options traders who want to actually understand their performance — not just guess at it. Log your trades, and the app does the math: net profit and loss, win rate, profit factor, average win and loss, best and worst days, and win/loss streaks. A clean monthly calendar shows your P/L day by day with a weekly summary down the side, so you can see your rhythm at a glance. WHAT YOU CAN DO - See your net P/L, win rate, and key stats update instantly - Review a color-coded P/L calendar with weekly totals - Break down performance by ticker and by setup, so you learn which trades actually make you money - Tag your trades and add notes to spot patterns over time - Import your history from a broker CSV in seconds - Connect a brokerage for automatic trade syncing - Filter by date range so your headline numbers always match what you're looking at BUILT FOR OPTIONS This isn't a stock journal with options bolted on. Calls and puts, buy-to-open and sell-to-close, strikes, expiries, and contract counts are all first-class — and profit is calculated correctly for options (per contract, ×100). PRIVATE BY DESIGN You sign in with Discord, and your data is yours alone — each account can only ever see its own trades. We don't sell your data or show ads. Optioneers Journal is a record-keeping and analytics tool, not financial advice. Trade responsibly.
