TickerScribe โ the free trading journal where options and stocks work together.
Most journals make you choose: a stock journal with options bolted on as an afterthought, or an options tool that ignores the shares underneath. That split breaks the moment you trade the way income traders actually do โ a cash-secured put gets assigned into stock, a covered call sits on top of it, a losing contract gets rolled forward. TickerScribe is built for exactly this: one workspace where your options and stock journals run independently or together, sharing a single unified P&L.
When a put is assigned, the resulting shares link to the position. When you roll, the contracts chain together. Wheel cycles โ sell a put, get assigned, sell calls, repeat โ are tracked end to end across both the options and stock sides, so your P&L is right instead of scattered across disconnected entries.
Import without re-typing. Major brokers are auto-detected on upload โ drop the CSV and every column is mapped for you. Anything else runs through a universal mapper that pre-fills its best guess and remembers it. A preview step flags duplicates, so you can re-import the same file safely.
Real options depth. 30+ strategies, multi-leg positions linked into one trade, Greeks and IV, plus rollovers and assignments handled correctly โ not flattened into single rows.
A ledger you can trust. A double-entry ledger reconciles stocks, options, and cash exactly, so cost basis and realized P&L hold up.
Understand and share it. A performance dashboard, per-symbol ticker reports, time-of-day and day-of-week breakdowns, a daily journal for notes, and a clean, shareable P&L calendar.
Free, no credit card, and ad-free โ a clean alternative to Tradervue, TraderSync, Edgewonk, and StonkJournal.

TickerScribe's answer:
Most trading journals keep options and stocks in separate silos โ a stock tool with options tacked on, or an options tool blind to the shares underneath. TickerScribe connects them. When a cash-secured put is assigned, the shares link to the position; covered calls sit on those shares; rolls chain contract to contract โ all automatically, across the options-to-stock boundary. So full wheel cycles and income strategies track end to end into one unified, penny-precise P&L, instead of being scattered across two disconnected tools. It pairs that with real options depth (multi-leg, Greeks and IV, 30+ strategies), drop-in broker CSV import, and a shareable P&L calendar โ all completely free and ad-free.
TickerScribe's answer:
Competitors make you trade something off; TickerScribe doesn't. Paid tools like Tradervue, TraderSync, and Edgewonk gate core journaling behind their plans, while free options like StonkJournal lean on ads and limits โ TickerScribe is both free and ad-free. More importantly, it treats options as first-class rather than an add-on to a stock tracker: multi-leg positions, Greeks and IV, 30+ strategies, and rolls, assignments, and full wheel cycles that link automatically across the options-to-stock boundary into one unified, penny-precise P&L. Getting started takes no re-typing โ major brokers auto-detect on CSV upload, anything else maps in minutes, and duplicate detection keeps re-imports safe. And because it's purpose-built for stock and options traders rather than a do-everything multi-asset platform, the options handling goes deeper than the generalists'.
TickerScribe's answer:
Its core audience is serious retail options traders โ especially income and wheel-strategy traders (cash-secured puts, covered calls, rolls, assignments) and multi-leg options traders โ who also hold the underlying stock and want one accurate journal for both sides instead of stitching together two tools or a spreadsheet. It also fits active stock, swing, and day traders who want clean per-symbol and time-of-day analytics with painless broker CSV import, plus traders running multiple accounts who need a unified P&L across them. In short: people who take their trading seriously enough to want ledger-accurate records and real review โ and don't want to pay for it or wade through ads to get there.
