CPI Week With Sleepy Index Vol: Event Risk When the VIX Looks Calm
Index volatility has been grinding in a low band even as September’s calendar fills with CPI and the FOMC. How options desks can separate “quiet tape” from “priced event,” and what to log before the prints — without turning the week into a prediction contest.
Read storyAfter the Jobs Beat: What Rising Fed-Hike Odds Mean for Options Sellers
August payrolls crushed expectations and pushed September hike odds higher. A short desk note on how rate repricing shows up in yields, growth-stock IV, and the way covered-call and credit-spread books should be reviewed — not a call to trade the Fed.

Options Trading Journal vs Spreadsheet for Multi-Leg Strategies
Spreadsheets survive until the third roll. A journal next to daily P&L keeps multi-leg structures, notes, and the rollforward on one definition of the book.
Read storyAnalytics Is Not a Scoreboard. It’s the Process.
Most traders treat analytics like a trophy case. Win rate on the wall. A green month screenshot. A Sharpe they mention once and never open again. The traders who last treat analytics as something else: the operating system of the trade itself. The process is not “spot a ticker, click buy.” It is a loop—research, size the risk, execute a plan, journal the gap, let the numbers grade you, change one

Tradier Sync vs Manual Portfolio Tracking
Sample is for learning the product. Manual is a book you type. Tradier live and paper sync marks and cash. When each source is the right one, and how they stay separate.

Questions
How free, paid, Tradier, and your data actually work.
Does CoveredLoop only support Tradier?
Live and paper broker sync is Tradier only, via official OAuth (live) or the sandbox token (paper). You do not need a broker to start: Sample and Manual portfolios work without Tradier. Other brokers are not live-synced today; you can reconstruct a book with bulk import or Manual entry.
Is my brokerage password stored?
No. Live Tradier uses OAuth. CoveredLoop stores encrypted connection tokens, not your Tradier password. You can disconnect in Settings at any time, which removes stored credentials. Paper mode uses the sandbox API token you paste — that is not your brokerage login password.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Canceling a paid plan does not delete your CoveredLoop login. Sample stays available. After the 30-day trial, Manual without a paid plan is two accounts and twenty-five trades. Live and Paper Tradier stop until you subscribe. If you close the account, the Square subscription is canceled and we delete or anonymize personal data as described in the Legal page, except records we must keep for tax, security, or law.
Can I import trades from other brokers?
Yes, as a one-time or occasional reconstruct: Settings includes bulk import so you can load fills into Manual or Sample-style books. Ongoing live marks, balances, and activity sync are Tradier only. Import is not a substitute for a live broker connection.
What is the difference between Sample and Manual mode?
Sample is a realistic book we maintain. Manual is your own accounts and trades. A new account has 30 days of full access, including Live and Paper Tradier, with no card. After that, a monthly or annual Square subscription (or lifetime) keeps Live and Paper and removes the Manual caps.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Membership fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law or for a confirmed billing error. The first 30 days are free with no card. Monthly and annual plans then renew through Square. See Legal (Payments & Refunds) for the full terms.
Do I need a credit card to start?
No. A new account includes 30 days of full access, including Live and Paper Tradier. Card details are collected by Square only when you choose Monthly, Annual, or Lifetime. CoveredLoop never stores the card number.
Do you offer team or enterprise pricing?
No. Plans are individual memberships ($29/mo · $199/yr · $499 lifetime). There is no team or enterprise SKU. Unusual billing questions can go to info@coveredloop.com — that is support, not a custom plan.
