The Covered Call Tracker That Syncs Directly from Interactive Brokers

Stop updating spreadsheets. Days to Expiry automatically pulls every covered call from your IBKR account and shows your premium, ROI, and expiry risk in one clean dashboard.

Tracking covered calls manually is a full-time job. You're copying trades out of IBKR into Excel, recalculating ROI by hand, and losing track of positions approaching expiry. When you're running 5–20 covered calls at a time, a spreadsheet doesn't cut it. Days to Expiry connects to your Interactive Brokers account via Flex Reports and automatically imports every covered call you've ever written. Open positions, rolls, expirations, assignments — it's all there, updated daily, with no manual work.

Expiry Blindspots — No automated view of which calls are approaching expiry this week

Roll History Gaps — No clean record of how rolls and assignments connect across a full covered call chain

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started

Does it work with Interactive Brokers specifically?

Yes — Days to Expiry is designed specifically for IBKR accounts. It uses IBKR's Flex Query system to pull your trade history automatically. Setup takes less than 10 minutes, and once connected, your covered calls sync daily without any action from you.

Can I use this as a covered call tracker if I also trade other options strategies?

Absolutely. Days to Expiry handles your full options portfolio. Covered calls are highlighted and grouped for easy income tracking, but your puts, spreads, and other positions are tracked too — giving you a complete picture of your options activity.

What if I've been trading covered calls for years — will it import my history?

Yes. When you first connect your IBKR account, Days to Expiry imports your complete available trade history. You'll see your full premium income record, historical ROI by ticker, and every expired or assigned position — not just going forward.

Is this different from just using IBKR's reports?

IBKR shows raw transaction data. Days to Expiry turns that into an income tracker — grouping rolls into chains, calculating net premium per position, showing annualised ROI, and giving you a clean view of what's expiring and when. It's the analytics layer on top of your IBKR data.
