Positions

The Positions page is the live view of what you're holding right now. Each row is a single contract - symbol, type, strike, and expiration - with quantity, cost basis, market value, and P&L.

Summary cards

Above the table, four cards roll up the currently filtered positions:

• Positions - count of positions matching the active filters.
• Market Value - sum of position market values.
• Unrealized P&L - total open P&L, with an up/down arrow and green/red color. An amber warning icon appears when the total is incomplete because one or more positions have no usable price. Hover it for the detail: a quote that hasn't arrived yet is filled in by the next refresh. A position marked unverified has no contract we can match at all, so it stays out of the total until the contract resolves.
• Realized P&L - total realized P&L from closing trades on these positions. A pulsing amber dot means expired positions are still being priced, so the figure is still being refined.

A portfolio filter sits in the page header to scope every card and the table to one or more portfolios.

Partial-data notices

Large accounts load their portfolio history through a full-history report. The position-row ceiling still applies; the portfolio-read warnings below refer to the bounded read and its separate completeness check. See Full-history reports.

Two different ceilings can put an amber notice above the table, and they mean different things:

• "You have more positions than this page can load at once." The page serves your positions whole rather than a page at a time, so there's a limit on how many rows it can return. Every open position is still shown - what gets cut is old closed history, most recently closed kept first. Set Status to Open to see your live book in full.
• "This portfolio has more trade history than we can read at once." Only under a portfolio filter. The selected portfolio's trade history didn't fit the read behind the list, which drops whole positions rather than trimming the end of the list - so a row count well under the first limit says nothing about it. Select fewer portfolios.

If the check behind the second notice can't run, you'll see "We could not check whether this position list covers the selected portfolio in full" with a Try again button, rather than nothing at all. See Large Trade Histories.

Columns

In the default (Ungrouped) view, columns are:

• Symbol - underlying ticker.
• Type - call or put.
• Strike - option strike.
• Underlying - current stock price and day change.
• Expiration - expiration date with a colored badge: orange for expiring within 7 days, red for already expired, gray otherwise.
• Days in trade - whole calendar days since the position's first opening fill, shown as 12d. Open positions only: a closed position has no running age, so it reads -, as does a position whose opening fill we never saw. The first click on the column sorts your oldest open positions first, with blanks at the bottom; reversing the sort brings the blanks to the top. In Group by Strategy view a strategy row is dated from its earliest-opened open leg, so a spread filled over two days reads as old as its first leg, and sorting moves each strategy and its legs together as a block.
• Contracts - net contract count (positive for long, negative for short).
• Cost Basis - total premium paid or received for the open contracts.
• Market Value - current mark-to-market value of the position. Shows a dash while market data is still being fetched. In Group by Strategy view, an asterisk and orange tint additionally flag prices that may be delayed.
• Unrealized P&L - open P&L for the position, accounting for long vs short direction. Shows a dash for closed positions.
• Realized P&L - realized P&L from closing trades on this position.
• Portfolio - portfolio assignment, if any.
• Collateral - cash required to secure a short put, with a dash for other position types. A standalone short put is cash-secured; a lower-strike long put on the same underlying and expiration in the same account is netted against it first, so a defined-risk spread shows spread-width collateral instead of the full cash-secured amount. Protection held in another account does not count.

In Group by Strategy view (Pro), the symbol column becomes Symbol / Strategy and each detected multi-leg strategy collapses into a single row with a leg-count badge that expands to show its legs. See Strategies for how detection works.

Checkboxes on this page require custom strategy grouping. Group into Strategy is their only bulk action; see Bulk Actions. Selecting a strategy row selects every position beneath it. Its checkbox reflects the selection state of those positions, and the selection bar always reports the number of positions selected. With positions from a single underlying selected, the selection bar offers Group into Strategy - see Custom Strategy Grouping.

You can show, hide, or reorder columns from the table's column-customization menu.

Filters

Above the table:

• View Mode - Ungrouped or Group by Strategy (Pro).
• Status - All Positions, Open, Expired, or Closed.
• All Sources - filter by broker, or pick Manual to show only manually-entered positions. Hidden when only one source is connected.
• All Accounts - filter by a specific brokerage account. Only shown when a broker is selected with multiple accounts.
• Filter by expiration date - date range applied to expiration date.
• Search - free-text filter on the table (matches ticker and other visible fields).

Exporting what you've filtered

Export, beside the portfolio filter in the page header, downloads the positions the table is showing - every page of them under your current filters, not just the rows on screen - as a CSV. It's a Pro feature; on a free account the button carries a gold diamond and opens the Pro preview. The file holds each position's own figures (cost basis, market value, unrealized and realized P&L, notional delta, daily theta, strategy and account) rather than the fills behind them. See Exporting Your Data.

Covered call capacity

A Covered call capacity card above the table breaks down, per symbol, how many shares you hold against your open short calls and how many spare 100-share lots are left over. It reads your whole book rather than the filtered rows, so a status filter or a search can't hide a short call from it; the portfolio filter is honored. See Covered call capacity on the Stocks page for what each column means.

Row actions

Open the actions menu at the end of a row for:

• Analyze in Calculator - open the Profit Calculator with this position's legs pre-loaded. If the calculator is already at the 6-leg maximum, you'll be asked to clear and reload.

• Close Position - only available for manual positions (positions whose contracts came from manually-entered trades). For broker-imported positions, close the position at your broker; OptionsPro will pick up the closing trade on the next sync.

• Repair - opens the Rolling Repair Assistant, which analyzes the position and returns up to ten scored roll suggestions (Roll Out, Roll Up, Roll Down, Roll Out & Up, Roll Out & Down, Roll In, Roll In & Up, Roll In & Down) with target strike and expiration, net credit or debit, the breakeven change, and delta and theta before and after. It's informational only - you still record the roll as a close and a new opening trade. Hidden for closed or expired positions, and whenever there are no roll suggestions to show.

• Add to Existing Strategy (Pro) - move this position into a strategy you already have on the same underlying. See Custom Strategy Grouping.

• Share - build a shareable image card for the position: contract, net contracts, and P&L (plus average open/close prices and an expiry outcome label once it's closed). See Sharing.

In Group by Strategy view, strategy rows have their own menu with Analyze in Calculator (loads all legs), Share (a strategy card covering every leg), Break up (Pro - splits the strategy into simpler ones) and, for all-manual strategies, Close All Positions.

Position details

Click a row in the Positions table to expand it inline and reveal the position's market context. The same view opens as a modal when you click a position from the Calendar or Trades pages. It shows:

• Status badges - option type, market state (Market Open, Pre-Market, After Hours, or Market Closed), moneyness (ITM, ATM, or OTM), and days to expiry.
• Underlying - current stock price, day change, and day change %.
• Greeks - Delta (Δ), Gamma (Γ), Theta (Θ), and Vega (ν). Shown as a dash for expired positions or while market data is still loading.
• Volume & Interest - implied volatility, volume, and open interest.
• Position Metrics - position market value, notional delta, daily theta decay, and days to expiry (or contract count, in the modal).
• Entry Greeks (if enabled for your org) - the Greeks captured at the time each opening fill was recorded, shown per fill.
• Account Details - brokerage and account name, where applicable.

A timestamp at the bottom shows when market data was last fetched, with an orange note if prices are from a previous trading day. Quotes are fetched and cached rather than streamed, so they lag the live market - see Market Data for how far behind they run and why a mark is sometimes missing entirely.
