Opportunities: Trades That Need Attention
Find expiring or in-the-money legs, plus idle cash and uncovered shares you can put to work.
Your weekly action list
The Opportunities screen turns your portfolio into a to-do list. It has two halves: trades that need attention, and capital you could put to work.
Open trades need attention
The left panel surfaces positions worth a look — for example legs that are expiring soon or now in the money and at risk of assignment or being called away. When nothing needs action, it says so, so you never have to hunt through tables to feel confident.
Cash & uncovered holdings
The right panel finds capital sitting idle:
- Unallocated cash — money that could back a new cash-secured put. Click Sell CSPs to jump to the screener.
- Uncovered shares — 100-share lots you own but haven't written calls against. Click Find calls on any holding to open the covered call screener for that ticker.
This is the bridge between tracking and trading: the tracker tells you what's idle, and the screener helps you find the next contract.
A simple weekly routine
- Clear anything in needs attention (roll, close, or let expire).
- Deploy unallocated cash into new CSPs if you have a thesis.
- Write covered calls on any uncovered lots to keep the wheel turning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a trade show up in 'needs attention'?
Open legs that are expiring soon or have moved in-the-money are flagged, because those are the positions where you may want to roll, close, or prepare for assignment.
