Tastytrade wheel tracker: import your CSV
Tastytrade is the wheel seller's home broker, and it is the best supported CSV in ThetaRecap. The History export carries the option lifecycle rows most tools drop — assignment, exercise, expiration — so a cash-secured put that gets assigned and turned into covered calls chains into one campaign cleanly.
Export the CSV from Tastytrade
- 1Open the Tastytrade web platform and go to your account History.
- 2Set the date range to cover the campaigns you want to import.
- 3Use the download / export control to save the History as CSV.
- 4Drag that CSV into ThetaRecap — your raw file is stored untouched before anything parses it.
What ThetaRecap reads
- Trade rows: buy/sell to open and close, for equities and options
- Receive Deliver lifecycle rows: assignment, exercise, expiration
- Per-contract option premium, normalized to a positive per-share value
- Commissions and fees (including rows that export as “--”, treated as zero)
- Order number, used to link rolls in a campaign
- ISO-8601 timestamps with their UTC offset
Full options support. Because the assignment, exercise and expiration rows are parsed rather than ignored, the whole wheel — cash-secured put, rolls, assignment, covered calls, called-away — assembles into a single campaign with an accurate cost basis.
Good to know
- Option Average Price is a signed per-contract total in the export; ThetaRecap normalizes it to a positive per-share premium automatically, so you don't reconcile it by hand.
- Naive timestamps (no offset) fall back to US Eastern. Assignment and exercise share legs arrive as ordinary equity rows and are parsed as equity fills.
- Uncommon Receive Deliver types (for example a forward split or an ACAT transfer) and non-equity instruments (futures, crypto) stop with a clear error rather than being guessed at.
ThetaRecap parsers are deliberately loud: in an ambiguous case they stop with a clear error rather than silently skipping a row. And because your raw file is stored immutably, a parser fix re-runs against your original upload — you never re-export to recover.
