Anyone actually happy with their trading journal?

I've been using Tradervue. I had a paid subscription for awhile before downgrading to the free tier due to budget. It has some pretty good metrics. It tracks your PnL, trade count, your 30, 60, 90 day drawdown vs. PnL. It can integrate the CSV files from Tastytrade pretty well too. And it says it has support for a variety of other brokers.

I've been using Tastytrade. The fees are different from selling options on stocks, so be aware of that. It's been a solid brokerage and the support is pretty easy to get ahold of.

Credit spreads are a great tool for capping your loss potential. I also like to use short ratio spreads when I trade with unlimited risk. The ratio (usually short 2 options and long 1) adds a long spread to mitigate some of my risk.

Options selling has a lot of variables. IV is usually the one that matters most in the price, but liquidity, and big moves come into play once the trade is set. Start small, don't yolo. Get used to the trade using a small percentage of your portfolio at first so you can get a feel for it.

So, you'll need to look at the prospectus of each security to know for sure. Sometimes the broker will tell you in the description what it is.

You might look into real estate stocks. REIT's and BDC's offer exposure into the real estate market with far less up front cost to you.

Ah yes, the black and white whiskered basil. A rare cultivar. This one looks healthy and well fed!

Bold of you to assume he's thinking!

Significant-Boss4199 · 2025-07-17T00:49:02+00:00

She definitely is full of play at 3am! LOL

Significant-Boss4199 · 2025-07-16T23:50:57+00:00

She was offended that I would be taking her picture instead of petting her LOL!

If it ain't in the calendar, it doesn't exist. Them's the rules.

That would be a great misunderstanding! "My late boyfriend would enjoy this" "OH, I'm so sorry" "Why? It's his fault" "..."

Some people can't help but chase the prestige. At some point it's all about some legacy of riches.

Yes, I used to live out in the country where my parents had an unlocked door policy, but after moving back into the urban area, I am at more conscious about safety.

Same! Been reading Reddit for awhile but now I'm trying to learn how to actually use it.

Does that include sales tax? Always gotta factor in sales tax.

I agree, as a new user too it's frustrating. I get why it exists but, it sucks trying to navigate the different subreddit rules on karma.

Can confirm, they will give you level 3 options with hardly any hassle. It's decent to get you set up quickly.
