My own tracker told me I won 94% of my trades.
My broker statement said about 80%.
The gap was assignment and rolls that never made it into the sheet. So I rebuilt it with two P/L columns — one the sheet calculates, one for the number your broker actually shows. When they disagree, the sheet tells you. That's the whole idea.

What's in it

01

Trade Log

One row per position. Type the credit and the exit; it does the rest. When the broker disagrees with the maths, you type their number and the whole sheet follows it.

02

Dashboard

P/L, win rate, average winner, average loser, and the loss-to-win ratio that actually predicts whether this works. Plus a block that checks whether your own sheet is flattering you.

03

Calculators

Return on collateral before you sell the put. How many contracts the account can actually carry. And whether that roll is a roll or a loss you're refusing to write down.

04

Account

Deposits and withdrawals, so your return isn't inflated by money you added halfway through the year. Most people skip this. It's why their numbers look better than they are.

Real account, real positions, including the months it goes the wrong way.
