The r/thetagang Tracker Alternative: Keep the Strategy, Drop the Sunday Spreadsheet

Thetagang strategies are systematic; the community's tracking isn't. Days to Expiry replaces the weekly manual spreadsheet ritual with automatic broker sync (IBKR Flex + SnapTrade 32+), roll-adjusted cost basis through assignments, and a weekly execution plan.

r/thetagang is the home of options sellers on Reddit — its wiki teaches the Greeks, volatility, and the strategies the community runs: covered calls, cash-secured puts, and the wheel (reddit.com/r/thetagang/wiki/index, verified 2026-09-23). And its tracking culture is just as homemade: community members share Excel wheel trackers and maintain them by hand, fill by fill. That ritual teaches the mechanics, but it doesn't scale — one broken formula corrupts your cost basis, assignments scramble your sheet, and Sunday becomes data entry. Days to Expiry is the thetagang tracker alternative built for that gap. Connect Interactive Brokers via Flex Query or 32+ brokers via SnapTrade and every CSP, roll, assignment, and covered call syncs automatically — with roll-adjusted true cost basis per cycle, per-leg P&L, coverage views, and a weekly execution plan for what to sell next. The strategy stays thetagang; the spreadsheet becomes optional.

Problem

The Weekly Spreadsheet Ritual Isn't Trading. It's Data Entry.

Manual by Design — Community wheel trackers are Excel downloads maintained by hand; a widely shared one ships with a setup video because upkeep is half the product (verified 2026-09-23)

Assignments Break the Sheet — A wheel assignment changes your basis overnight; manual trackers usually model it late or wrong

No Broker Connection — The r/thetagang wiki documents strategy, not sync: no IBKR Flex or SnapTrade path exists in the community toolchain (reddit.com/r/thetagang/wiki/index, 2026-09-23)

Scaling Pain — More tickers, more contracts, more rolls: the sheet grows until the formula you need on Friday breaks on Saturday

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

Is this against the r/thetagang spirit?

Not at all — the community exists to sell options systematically, and its own wiki is rigorous about the Greeks, volatility, and risk management (verified 2026-09-23). Days to Expiry automates the bookkeeping so you can spend the time on the decisions the community actually debates: strikes, DTE, rolls, and when to take profit. The 50–80% profit-taking rule still belongs to you.

What exactly replaces my weekly spreadsheet update?

Three things. Sync: SnapTrade or IBKR Flex imports every fill, roll, assignment, and expiration automatically. Truth: roll-adjusted cost basis per wheel cycle and per-leg P&L computed from real broker data — no formulas to protect. Plan: a weekly execution list generated from your live holdings, with model assignment probability and premium context. The Sunday ritual becomes a review instead of data entry.

Does Days to Expiry place trades like some thetagang bots do?

No. Days to Expiry is tracking and planning software, not a trading bot — it connects read-focused and never places orders. If you want automated execution, the open-source thetagang bot ecosystem is a separate path; if you want to know what your book is doing and what to sell next, that's this tool.

Which brokers can I sync?

Interactive Brokers via Flex Query (first-class automated sync) and 32+ brokers via SnapTrade, with CSV upload as a fallback for anything else. The full list covers the brokers thetagang members mention most — tastytrade, Schwab, Fidelity, Robinhood, E-Trade, and Vanguard among them.

How does cost basis after assignment actually work?

Assignment is just another event in the cycle: the put premium you collected, the strike you paid for the shares, and every covered call premium after — all chained into one roll-adjusted basis. You see the true break-even of the wheel cycle at any moment, instead of approximating it in a column you hope is right.

What does it cost after the free trial?

Pro is $50/mo ($500/yr) from the live Stripe prices backing /pricing; Starter unlocks live sync below it. The demo portfolio and covered call screener remain free — no credit card to start, cancel anytime.
