Made a quick tour of YieldCove.
Every put, call, roll and assignment in one place, with a running P/L for each wheel. Free forever, no card.
I built it because I was done with spreadsheets. https://t.co/oHydxjF0iz
Too many event dates for one screenshot?
YieldCove's improved Catalyst sharing splits your selection into separate cards and lets you choose a caption style.

An order confirmation is not a trade confirmation.
Before updating your notes, check the executed quantity and price. A partial fill can leave part of your order working.
An option premium arrives with a promise. Some months bring assignment, buyback costs or share losses.
Before treating it as spending money, check the obligations and the result of the whole trade.
A second put contract doubles the possible share purchase, not just the premium.
YieldCove’s public calculator shows the cash secured as you change contract count. No account needed.
Try the calculator.

For U.S. stock options, the market close is not the whole exercise timeline. After-hours moves can still matter.
Check your broker’s exercise cutoff and assignment process before the next expiry. Broker deadlines can differ.
A quiet Sunday investing check-in:
1. Review upcoming events.
2. Check cash already committed.
3. Read last week’s notes.
4. Decide what doesn’t need changing.
Staying organized doesn’t require a new trade every week.
Your put’s breakeven tells you what the trade needs at expiration. It does not tell you what the business is worth.
If you may end up buying the shares, review the company as well as the contract.
Cash set aside for rent and cash set aside for put assignment have different jobs.
Before adding a trade, check which dollars are actually available. A budget helps keep a market decision from turning into a bill-paying problem.
Hypothetical account: $1,000 on Monday, a $100 deposit, $1,100 on Friday. No trades, fees or withdrawals.
The balance rose, but the investment return was zero. Keep contributions separate when reviewing performance.
Wheel campaigns in YieldCove:
One ticker. One timeline. Puts, assignment, shares, covered calls, rolls — premium and cost basis in context.
Stop reconstructing the story from scattered fills.

Before the next wheel trade, check the numbers behind it.
The strike, premium and time to expiry all matter. Put a hypothetical example through the YieldCove calculator:

Try the downside row in YieldCove’s calculator.
Enter a hypothetical put, then read the modeled result after a 20% share-price fall. Does the cash premium still look worth the purchase obligation?

Where YieldCove fits in a normal wheel week:
• Log CSPs / CCs in seconds
• See premium, capital, and open risk in one place
• Follow a ticker as a campaign (put → shares → calls)
• Check annualized return on what you actually recorded
Broker = execute. YieldCove = see the cycle clearly.

A covered call pays you a premium in exchange for an obligation: you may have to sell your shares at the strike price.
You keep the stock’s downside, while giving up gains above the strike if called away.
Useful tool. Real trade-off.
Submitting a buy-to-close order does not close an option. It needs to fill.
Check the execution confirmation and remaining quantity before treating the obligation as gone. A limit price gives you control over price, not a guarantee of execution.
Myth 5: “A spreadsheet is fine once I’m serious.”
Spreadsheets break on assignments, rolls, and multi-account collateral. A purpose-built tracker exists so Sunday-night data entry isn’t the strategy.
YieldCove tracks the wheel free — campaigns, premium, capital. Not advice. Just clearer numbers.

Myth 4: “My broker P/L is my real return.”
Brokers show cash and marks. They rarely show annualized return on capital tied up in each CSP/CC cycle. That’s the number wheel sellers actually need.
