Options Helper — Quick Reference

Quick Guide — Tabs & Toolbar

1. Positions tab — your live covered calls and puts, pulled directly from Schwab. Each row is one contract. Color coding shows urgency: red = needs attention, amber = watch, green = healthy.

2. Roll Analyzer tab — click any position row to open a side panel showing every available roll candidate for that contract. Green rows = better than your current position. Sort by Est Total %/wk to find the best move.

3. Scanner tab — scans your tracked tickers for new covered call opportunities. Add tickers using the + button in the toolbar. Higher Score = better risk-adjusted return.

4. Values tab — shows your total notional exposure two ways: by expiry date (spot crowded weeks) and by ticker (spot over-concentration in one stock).

5. Chain popup — full live options chain for any underlying. Opens automatically when you click a row in Roll Analyzer. Shows calls on the left, puts on the right, ATM strike highlighted in amber.

6. Charts popup — price history with Bollinger Bands and RSI for any position's underlying. Shows 1-year daily, 3-month daily, 5-day intraday (15-min), and 4-hour intraday (5-min) panels.

7. CSV button (↓ CSV) — exports the currently visible positions to a spreadsheet file. Filters and sort order are preserved in the export.

8. Refresh button (↻) — pulls fresh data from Schwab immediately, without waiting for the next auto-update. Use this after a trade fills or a roll executes.

9. Light/Dark mode (☀︎/🌙) — toggles between dark and light themes. Your preference is saved in your browser.

10. Sort any column — click any column header to sort by that column. Click again to reverse. An arrow shows the active sort direction.

11. Filter rows — type in the white boxes below column headers to filter to matching rows only. Works on text (symbol, account) and numbers (threshold cutoffs).

12. Views ▾ and column visibility — click Views ▾ to save your current filter/sort/hidden-column state and reload it later. Click − on any column header to hide that column.

OK to Trade List

Tickers the scanner watches for new opportunities. Positions pull from Schwab regardless of this list.

Share my ticker list anonymously (this helps you get your data faster)

Only the ticker symbols are sent, never your account, positions or name. The server scans the shared list so Scanner results are ready when you open the tab. Turning this off stops sharing; old entries expire after 14 days.

Add tickers — one per line or comma-separated.

Topic

Get ntfy at ntfy.sh (free, no account needed). Use a random suffix in your topic name so only you receive it. The VPS checks every 15 min during market hours.

Scanner flags positions when Own% or Similar% exceeds these thresholds.

Flag "Own?" when position exceeds % of portfolio

Flag "Similar?" when combined exposure exceeds % of portfolio
