Wheel Strategy Software: Automate Your CSP to Covered Call Cycle

Find cash-secured puts, track assignments, and sell covered calls—all from one integrated platform

Running the wheel strategy manually means juggling multiple tools—one for finding CSPs, another for tracking assignments, spreadsheets for covered call opportunities, and yet more for performance tracking. Days to Expiry is wheel strategy software designed specifically for the complete cycle. Screen for CSPs, get notified of assignments automatically, receive covered call recommendations, and track performance across the entire lifecycle.

The Problem: Disconnected Tools Kill Wheel Efficiency

1
Tool Switching — Separate scanners for CSPs and covered calls
2
Assignment Tracking — Manual monitoring for assignments across multiple positions
3
Cost Basis Confusion — Lost track of premiums collected and adjusted basis
4
Performance Blindness — No visibility into true wheel cycle returns

🔍 CSP Screener — Filter by delta, DTE, premium capture, and underlying quality

📢 Auto Assignment Tracking — Real-time position sync with IBKR integration

📈 Covered Call Optimizer — Cost-basis-aware suggestions post-assignment

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this different from other wheel strategy software?

Most wheel tools focus on just one phase—either finding CSPs or screening covered calls. Days to Expiry handles the complete cycle: we help you find CSPs, automatically detect assignments through IBKR integration, suggest covered calls based on your actual cost basis, and track performance across full wheel cycles. It's a unified workflow, not disconnected tools.

Can I use this wheel strategy software without an Interactive Brokers account?

Yes, you can manually enter positions and track assignments. However, the automated assignment detection and real-time position syncing require an IBKR connection. Most active wheel traders find the integration saves 5-10 hours per week of manual tracking.

How does the backtesting work for wheel strategies?

Our backtester simulates complete wheel cycles against historical data. You define your CSP criteria (delta, DTE, underlying filters), and the software models what would have happened—including assignments, covered call opportunities, and rollovers. This helps you optimize your strategy before deploying real capital.

Is this suitable for beginners to the wheel strategy?

While beginners can use our wheel strategy software, it's designed for traders who already understand the mechanics of selling cash-secured puts and covered calls. We don't provide options education—we provide the automation and analytics to execute the strategy at scale. If you're new to the wheel, we recommend paper trading first.

How does cost basis tracking work?

When you're assigned on a CSP, we automatically calculate your adjusted cost basis including all premiums collected. This "effective purchase price" is used for covered call suggestions and performance tracking. You'll always know your true breakeven and can make informed decisions about exit strategies.
