Tracking Single Leg Trades

Buying and Selling naked Options

While MindTrajour excels at complex multi-leg spreads, it is equally powerful for tracking simple Single Leg Long (Buying Calls/Puts) or Single Leg Short (Selling Calls/Puts) positions.

Why Journal Single Legs?

Single leg trades often carry higher delta risk or higher margin requirements compared to spreads. Auditing these is crucial for risk management.

1. Long Calls/Puts: Track if you are consistently buying too close to expiration (Theta decay) or if your direction bias is correct but your timing is off.
2. Short Calls/Puts: Monitor your margin utilization and see how "getting assigned" impacts your overall portfolio performance.
