Trade-off

The honest version

What DaysToExpiry does well

  • Starter connects a live portfolio through SnapTrade or an Interactive Brokers Flex statement, with one-click sync after that.

  • Pro backtests covered calls, cash-secured puts, and the full wheel, so a rule can be tested before real money goes in.

  • Income, coverage, and roll tracking for covered calls and puts sit together on one portfolio dashboard.

When DaysToExpiry is the better choice

Pick Days to Expiry if you want positions to sync from your broker without exporting a file, including through an Interactive Brokers Flex query, or you want to backtest a wheel before running it. OptionsEdge works from CSV imports and has no broker sync or backtester.

Before you switch

  • Positions arrive through your broker connection, so confirm your broker is on the SnapTrade list before you pay.

  • Interactive Brokers accounts connect with a Flex statement query, which you set up once inside the IBKR portal.

Why traders switch

What frustrates traders about DaysToExpiry

Wheel backtests and multi-symbol scans sit a tier above the sync plan.
