options trade journal

Options trade journal tied to the decision, not an afterthought.

A journal is most useful when it remembers the decision context. Spread Foundry keeps watched ideas, live positions, plans, review triggers, and daily notes connected to the spread that created them.

Problem

Why this search usually means more than a filter.

Most journals capture what happened after the trade, but not why the candidate looked defensible before entry.
Screenshots and notes become detached from the live position.
It is hard to review process quality when market context, thesis, and exit triggers were not recorded together.

Workflow

How Spread Foundry handles the job.

01
Save the idea before the trade
Watched spreads preserve the thesis and candidate context even when the trader never opens the position.
02
Promote to a live position
Executing a trade changes state while carrying the original structure, plan, and review notes forward.
03
Review every day
The cockpit is built for health, triggers, decisions, and a history of what changed over the life of the trade.

Why Spread Foundry

Built for reviewable decisions.

Watched ideas, open positions, closed trades, and dropped ideas are distinct states.
Risk review is part of the journal context, not a separate spreadsheet.
The journal is designed for process review, not performance marketing.

Questions

Common concerns.

Is this only a trade log?: No. The journal is connected to candidate discovery, risk review, position state, and daily decision history.
Can it track paper trades?: Yes. The Standard end-of-day plan is described around journaling, watched ideas, live positions, and paper trading workflows.
