Options Trading Journal
Stax is a full trading journal and analytics suite — and the same deep analytics apply to any market you trade, options included. Fee-inclusive Net Risk / Net R:R, Hyper Edge, Time Analysis, and a 100+ metric Full Report come standard, whatever you trade.
And it has exactly what options need. Every trade carries its strike, expiry, put/call, and underlying, and per-contract commissions and exchange fees are summed automatically into your Net R:R — so a position that looked green on premium but red after costs shows up as exactly that. Anything else you want on a trade, you can add as a custom column.
So if you trade options, Stax fits — come in and analyze them by structure. Bring your trades in with auto-sync or a file import, and start free and fully local.

Options journal — FAQ
What option details does Stax track?
Each option trade is logged with its strike, expiration, put/call, and the underlying. Every result runs through fee-inclusive Net Risk / Net R:R, so you can break your performance down by structure and see what you actually kept after costs.
Which options brokers can I import from?
Popular brokers auto-sync your options fills with the strike, expiry, and put/call intact, and any other broker imports by file, with manual entry always available. See the full list of supported brokers on the Connections page.
