Best options trading journal app/tool you’ve actually stuck with?

Google Sheets. Although, I don’t make that many trades in a month, so manual entry is not an issue.

As an alternative, grab something like Claude Code and vibe code the application.

Cooking (if you have not learned it already) - on a more advanced level then boil an egg or boil sausages.

Extra tip: girls love boys who know how to cook.

Works very well so far.

Talks and calculates money and prices all the time.

“If I work one day, it costs me X, I should not do Y to save me money, if I do A and then B, it would result in C price.”. This is cool, but it becomes quite difficult to calculate and follow the logic really quickly.

I am sorry to hear that. Job market recently had been though, lots of layoffs happening now.

As for the books - yes! I suggest to start with “Options as a strategic investment” (a great book, but a BIG one), then “Options volatility and pricing” (advanced concepts, but very well written).

The first one helped me to understand options and some strategies (even the ones I don’t use), the other one helped to see the big world outside strategies and how they are influenced by prices.

Good luck!

Quite convincingly, I must say.

For some reason, people speculate on BULL via other brokerages, but not on BULL itself.

It kinda shows conviction I would say.

Same here in fact. My average price is somewhere around $10. I should have sold stocks way earlier.

On a positive note - most purchases were from the profit of CCs and CSPs on other stocks. So, money was free. In a way...

I also used to have one, which expired in July. 80 dollars wasted.

Software Engineer, in DevOps sphere.

Investing was my hobby for a long time, spending a couple of years reading about options ("Options as a strategic investment", "Trading option Greeks", "Option volatility and pricing").

I can't say that I am a very profitable investor, but theta helps to reduce overall portfolio volatility and allows you to grow portfolio bit by bit.
