Private beta · Alpaca accounts

Your broker shows you trades.
Wheelhouse shows you cycles.

Sell a put. Get assigned. Write a call. Get called away. Your brokerage history records four unrelated rows. Wheelhouse reads them as one trade — and tells you how much of the return was premium, and how much was just the market going up.

How it works

Five questions, asked in the order you actually ask them.

Not a chart library and not a signal service. Wheelhouse answers the handful of questions a premium seller has each week, and nothing else.

01

Does anything need me today?

A short call most of the way to max profit. An expiry three days out. A delta that says assignment has stopped being hypothetical. Cash sitting uncommitted. Each one arrives with the numbers that fired it.

Built for your phone
02

Which trade is worth making?

Every contract you could actually place across your watchlist, ranked by annualised return. A covered call needs an uncovered lot; a put needs the collateral in cash. Nothing you can't do is on the list.

Desk
03

Would I be happy assigned here?

A chain scored against your cost basis, not a generic percentage. Your basis and your written strike drawn onto the price, so the room you have left is something you see rather than calculate.

04

Where do I stand?

Cash committed as collateral versus cash that's free. Lots that could back a call and aren't. The odd shares that never will. Sorted by what you can act on, not alphabetically.

05 · The honest part

Am I good at this — or was it just a good year?

A rising market makes everyone feel like a skilled premium seller. Your broker reports one number, and in a good year that number flatters you. Wheelhouse splits every cycle into the premium you were paid and what the shares did underneath — because only one of those is a decision you made, and only one of them repeats when the market stops cooperating.

Sometimes the answer is that you're good at this. Sometimes it's that you owned the right stock. Either way you should know which.

Two cycles, same account
SOFI CALLED AWAY 103d
+19.4%
premium +6.1%
the market +13.3%
ENOV CLOSED EARLY 80d
−3.2%
premium +4.4%
the market −7.6%

You sold premium well on both. One stock cooperated and one didn't — that difference isn't skill.
