Except the CBOE has all the information they need to come up with this. If you actually read the link I sent, and the schema that comes with it, it tells you who has what. The trades data you're talking about needs to be inferred if it's BTO, STO, BTC or STC. No one, outside of the CBOE, will know the actual trade because they don't make this field public.

I trade indexes and MAGs options and one thing that helps me not revenge trade: I have a rule that when I take a loss, I switch the chart to an unrelated ticker; if the price immediately rebounded after my exit? I don’t want to know. If it continued? I don’t want to know that either or I might be tempted to jump on the opposite side. IMHO - averaging down (or DCA - dollar cost averaging) is not the devil people make it out to be, but just like everything else, I would be honest about your level of self control - don’t use it until you have a long streak of following your own rules. Otherwise it will absolutely drain your account. DCA is the sharpest of double-edged swords. When it works it programs your brain in very counterproductive ways. Especially if it’s a narrow escape from a big loss…you get that dopamine hit, and you start to believe every day will be green, that every trade is winnable. You become less tolerant of taking a moderate loss. You start to think that rescue is always *just* *one more tick* away. And if you can’t fight that those thoughts, you are doomed. So if you do it, have a plan and stick to it. I have a very conservative DCA approach - where I BTO a single contract and DCA to 2. Some people do multiple levels (not me). I had a friend who had success doing 1-10 (at that scale it only takes the slightest move in your direction and you are back in the green, and if the rebound continues at all, you make a lot of money quickly.) That leads to the most important rule is: your stop must be 1 cent under your last DCA level. The market *must* turn immediately, or you are out, no questions asked. Have a card you read prior to every trade that reminds you: every trade has the potential to empty your account if you lose discipline. That’s true even if you’ve won 99 trades in a row. Good traders are constantly reminding themselves that ruin is always lurking around the corner.

I track them the same way my broker does on the 1099, which is the way the IRS does, assuming you pay US taxes. Staying in sync with all that means less work and confusion at tax time. Example: * Jan - BTO XYZ 100c for net cost of $10 * Feb - Roll out 100c to 120c for net cost of -$2 (STC 100c for $12, BTO 120c for $10) * Mar - Roll out 120c to 110c for net cost of $1 (STC 120c for $9, BTO 110c for $10) * Apr - Close 110c for $11.67 The way I would track that is as three separate and independent taxable events: 1. Feb - Net short term capital gain of $2. 1. Mar - Net short term capital loss of -$1. 1. Apr - Net short term capital gain of $1.67. Every time you close an option trade is a taxable event, with no connection to anything that comes before or after (unless it's a wash sale). A roll is just a close bundled with an open in a single order for convenience, so by definition, **every roll is a taxable event**. So just track the close of the previous position as a self-contained gain/loss. You're overcomplicating things by trying to see a "whole stock position story". That's pointless, in the first place, since what really matters at the end of the day (or week, or month, or year) is the net gain/loss of your entire portfolio. Secondly, the stock is less important than the volatility the stock represents. Do you care about NVDA more or less than SPCX? Those should be two random sequences of letters to you, because the stock matters less than the pricing of volatility of the contracts in question. Today it could be MSFT that offers the best vol, while tomorrow it could be HD. Unless you are doing some kind of fundamentals trading supplemented by options, the specifics of the underlying stock are rarely worth paying attention to. The only metric that matters is return on risk, as a long term average, after say every 100 closed trades. You can easily track how much is at risk by tracking opening prices (whether you track buying power at risk or only changes in cash balance is up to you).
