Standard Deviation Visualizer

Trade Recorder — How to Use

Saving a trade

Save Open and Save Exit each log a row using whatever the page is currently showing: future price, DTE, SD/Mean, Recent IV, Intraday & OI Call/Put totals, Fut Δ, Zone, and the full per-strike chain — all captured automatically, nothing to type.

Every Open you save gets a new Magic #. Its matching Exit reuses that same number, so the two rows of one trade are always linked — and are highlighted with the same color in the table (see Color coding below).

After saving, use the row's dropdowns to tag Result (Win/Lose, Exit rows) and Strategy / Martingale (Open rows).

At Time — backfilling a past trade

Forgot to hit Save at the time? Set At Time to a past clock time today before clicking Save Open/Exit, and the row is filled in from the closest available historical snapshot instead of "now" — same columns, same fidelity.

• A status hint shows which real timestamp it'll match and how far off it is, e.g. matches 10:24 (±2m).
• If the closest snapshot is more than ~6 minutes away, you'll be asked to confirm before it records anyway.
• Backfilled rows get a small * next to their Time — hover it for details.
• SD / Mean / Expected Distance / OI IV Open are not re-derived per snapshot — they're day-level constants that lock in near market open, so today's current value already is the historical value for essentially the whole session.
• Clear the field (Use Live ✕) to go back to recording "now".

Editing Future Price

Future Price is editable after the fact — click it and correct it if the auto-captured tick was off. Zone and Zone % automatically recompute against the edit (they're the only other columns that are actually a function of Future Price); every other column is independent and stays as originally recorded.

Color coding

Each row gets an accent stripe + faint tint based on its Magic #. An Open and its Exit always land on the exact same color, so a trade's two rows are easy to spot as a pair even after sorting through a long log. Unrelated trades will (almost always) land on a different hue.

Copy for Sheets — what "ATM" means

The Copy for Sheets button exports the log as tab-separated rows, ready to paste into Google Sheets. Per-strike columns are labeled relative to each row's own ATM (at-the-money strike) rather than an absolute strike price — so the header row stays identical no matter what price level the underlying was at when a trade happened.

For each row: ATM = whichever listed strike is closest to that row's Future Price. ATM+1 = the next strike up (ATM + one strike-step), ATM+2 = two steps up, and so on; ATM−1 works the same going down. The strike step is auto-detected from your own strike chain (e.g. 25-point spacing).

Example, assuming a 25-point strike chain (…3950, 3975, 4000, 4025, 4050, 4075…):

4012.5 sits exactly halfway between the 4000 and 4025 strikes — an exact tie rounds down, so it resolves to the same ATM (4000) as the plain 4000 case, and therefore the same ATM+1/+2/+3 columns too.

Clear

Wipes every logged row. There's no undo — the log only lives in memory for this session, so make sure you've copied anything you need first.
