Add Position

Add Manually

Tap "+" → "Add Manually" to open the position entry form.

Short Strike

The Put you SELL — the higher strike. This is where your risk begins.

The Put you BUY for protection — the lower strike.

Credit

Net premium received per share. $1.50 = $150 per contract.

Contracts

Number of contracts. 1 contract = 100 shares.

Open Date / Expiry Date

Used to calculate DTE (Days to Expiry) and holding period.

Real-Time Preview

As you type, a live preview calculates:

Max Loss

(Width − Credit) × 100 × Contracts

Max Profit

Position Tracking

Position Detail — 4-Block Layout

Tap any position card to open the detail view, which is organized into 4 sections:

Combined Card

Symbol, spread strikes, Status badge, DTE, current P&L, and net Theta income.

Risk Indicators

Delta vs opening value, IV vs yesterday, and visual Risk Bar. Pro: historical IV for a more accurate Risk Bar.

Position Details

Collapsible section with all Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega), OTM%, Breakeven, Max Loss, and Spread Cost.

Alerts (Pro)

Set personalized thresholds for Delta, DTE, OTM%, and P&L. Get notified when a threshold is breached.

Greeks Explained

Greeks measure options risk. BPS Tracker shows Net Greeks (Net = Long − Short):

Delta

Sensitivity to a $1 move in the underlying. Ideal range for BPS: −0.10 to +0.10 (near neutral).

Gamma

Rate of Delta change per $1 move. Low gamma = more stable Delta. Ideal: −0.01 to 0.

Theta

Daily time decay — your main profit source as a premium seller. Should be positive.

💰 Daily Theta Income = Net Theta × 100 × Contracts

Vega

Sensitivity to 1% change in implied volatility. Short spreads have negative vega. Ideal: −0.05 to 0.

Greeks Trend Charts (Pro)

PRO

Pro subscribers can view historical charts for each position — Delta, IV, Theta, and Spread Cost — plotted from open date to today. Useful for spotting creeping risk before it becomes a problem.

DeltaIVThetaSpread Cost

P&L Display

Unrealized P&L

(Credit Received − Current Spread Cost) × 100 × Contracts

The percentage in parentheses shows what share of Max Profit you've captured. "$150 (75%)" means 75% of max profit already secured.

Color Coding

🟢 Green = Profit🔴 Red = Loss

Status Badges & Risk Labels

Near Expiry

DTE ≤ 7 days. Consider closing or rolling.

Expired

DTE < 0. Position has passed expiry date.

ITM Warning

Stock price has breached the Short Strike — assignment risk.

Custom Alert Thresholds (Pro)

PRO

Set personalized thresholds on the Position Detail screen. The app sends a local notification when any threshold is crossed:

Delta Threshold

Alert when net Delta exceeds your chosen value (e.g., > 0.20).

DTE Threshold

Alert when Days to Expiry drops below your limit (e.g., < 5).

OTM% Threshold

Alert when OTM% narrows below your safety margin.

P&L Threshold

Alert when unrealized loss exceeds a dollar amount.

Notifications fire once per breach and reset after the position recovers past the threshold.

🌍

Market View

The Market tab gives you a real-time pulse on overall market conditions — essential context for managing BPS positions.

VIX Gauge

The CBOE Volatility Index. Higher VIX = higher option premiums and wider spreads available. BPS sellers generally prefer VIX above 15–20 for meaningful credit.

Fear & Greed Index

CNN's composite sentiment indicator. Extreme Fear often signals elevated put premiums — a potential opportunity for BPS sellers. Extreme Greed suggests complacency and thinner premiums.

CBOE SKEW Index

Measures demand for out-of-the-money puts relative to calls. High SKEW (> 130) indicates the market is paying up for downside protection — relevant when choosing strike width.

Earnings & Dividend Calendar

Upcoming earnings announcements and ex-dividend dates for your tracked symbols. Avoid holding BPS positions through earnings unless you understand the binary risk.
