Options Portfolio Clarity

The OptionStrat Alternative Built for Portfolio Clarity, Not Feature Bloat

True cost basis after rolls, per-leg P&L, a weekly execution plan, multi-broker sync, and AI portfolio queries. OptionStrat Live Flow is $99.99/mo; Days to Expiry Pro is $50/mo (verified 2026-08-13).

OptionStrat is strong at strategy builders, P&L diagrams, and flow tools—but income traders still leave without true portfolio clarity. Days to Expiry connects Interactive Brokers via Flex Query and 36+ brokers via SnapTrade, demystifies multi-leg positions into roll-adjusted cost basis and per-leg P&L, and generates a weekly execution plan for covered calls and cash-secured puts. Ask Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf about your live portfolio via scoped API keys. You still get income-focused scanning with assignment probability and dedicated backtests when you want historical context—without paying for meme-flow features you never use. OptionStrat Live Flow is $99.99/mo; Days to Expiry Pro is $50/mo (verified 2026-08-13). The product difference is portfolio truth and a repeatable weekly workflow, not unusual flow.

Problem

OptionStrat Visualizes Trades. It Doesn’t Clarify Your Portfolio.

No True Cost Basis After Rolls — Broker and builder views leave roll-adjusted basis and multi-leg P&L murky

No Weekly Execution Plan — You still decide strike, expiry, and premium by hand every week

Weak Portfolio Sync — Analysis and live positions stay disconnected across brokers

Live Flow is $99.99/mo for unusual-flow / social tooling (optionstrat.com, 2026-08-13)—not a portfolio-clarity product

Solution

Days to Expiry: Purpose-Built for Options Income Clarity

True Cost Basis After Rolls

Roll-adjusted basis and break-evens brokers and builders often obscure

Per-Leg P&L

Auto-detect spreads and condors; see which legs drive profit or drag

Weekly Execution Plan

What to sell this week—strike, expiry, expected premium and yield

Multi-Broker Portfolio Sync

IBKR Flex first-class; SnapTrade for 36+ brokers; CSV when needed

AI / MCP Portfolio Queries

Connect Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf to live portfolio data

Sourced Price vs Live Flow

OptionStrat Live Flow is $99.99/mo; Days to Expiry Pro is $50/mo (verified 2026-08-13). Income scanners and backtests, not Flow-tier social/flow tooling.

How it works

Get started in 3 simple steps

1

Connect Your Broker

Sync Interactive Brokers via Flex Query or connect 36+ brokers through SnapTrade. CSV import remains available as a fallback. Your positions and trades become the source of truth—not a separate watchlist.

2

See Portfolio Truth

Review roll-adjusted true cost basis, per-leg P&L, coverage, and open risk. Multi-leg strategies stop looking like disconnected broker legs.

3

Follow a Weekly Plan (and Ask AI)

Generate a bounded weekly execution plan for covered calls and CSPs with model assignment probability and premium context. Use dedicated backtests when you want historical assignment rates. Query the same live portfolio from Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

Is Days to Expiry a complete OptionStrat alternative for income traders?

For income-focused sellers, yes—on a different axis. OptionStrat excels at strategy builders and P&L visualization. Days to Expiry focuses on portfolio clarity: true cost basis after rolls, per-leg P&L, multi-broker sync, a weekly execution plan for covered calls and CSPs, and AI/MCP queries against live data. We intentionally de-emphasize unusual flow and social sentiment. If you sell credit spreads, cash-secured puts, or covered calls for steady income, that clarity stack usually matters more than builder bells and whistles.

How does pricing compare to OptionStrat Flow?

As of 2026-08-13, OptionStrat lists Live Tools at $39.99/mo and Live Flow at $99.99/mo on optionstrat.com (annual toggle advertised as Save 12%). Days to Expiry Pro is $50/mo ($500/yr) from the live Stripe prices that back /pricing. Check vendor pages for current rates. Both offer trials—OptionStrat paid plans advertise a 7-day trial; Days to Expiry has a 14-day free trial with no credit card to start.

Can I import my OptionStrat watchlists and saved strategies?

Direct import from OptionStrat isn’t available, but migration is straightforward. Connect IBKR Flex or SnapTrade so positions sync automatically, or use CSV as a fallback. Most traders recreate key income scans within 10–15 minutes using covered call and CSP presets. Support can help during your free trial.

Should I cancel OptionStrat immediately when switching?

We recommend running both platforms in parallel during your 14-day free trial. Many traders keep a lighter OptionStrat plan for occasional builders while moving portfolio tracking, execution planning, and income scanning to Days to Expiry. Cancel Flow when you’re confident—there’s no contract lock-in on either side.

How do strategy visualizations compare between platforms?

Days to Expiry provides clean profit/loss diagrams with breakeven, max profit, and max loss. We prioritize uncluttered risk/reward clarity for income decisions over dense builder overlays. The larger gap is what OptionStrat doesn’t emphasize: roll-adjusted cost basis, per-leg P&L on live positions, and a weekly plan tied to your actual portfolio.

What makes Days to Expiry different for income-focused options traders?

Five differentiators: (1) true cost basis after rolls, (2) per-leg P&L on multi-leg positions, (3) a weekly execution plan for what to sell, (4) multi-broker portfolio sync (IBKR Flex + SnapTrade 36+), and (5) AI/MCP portfolio queries from Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf. Scanners surface model assignment probability by default; dedicated and opt-in backtests add historical assignment rates when you need them. Sourced pricing (OptionStrat Live Flow $99.99/mo vs Days to Expiry Pro $50/mo, verified 2026-08-13) is a comparison row—not the whole story.

Is there a free trial to test before switching?

Yes—14 days with no credit card required. Run Days to Expiry alongside OptionStrat and compare portfolio clarity, weekly planning, and scan workflow. Most traders know within the first week whether it fits.
