How it works

Three steps. Same three every week.

No signals, no alerts, no hype. Find a stock worth owning, size the trade before you place it, write down what happened.

01 · Find it

Stock Selector

Pick the kind of stock you want, say how much cash one contract may tie up, and every row reads in plain words — what you’d buy at, what it ties up, what you’d collect and the return over the stretch you picked.

An “easy to trade” tier on every row, so thin names are obvious
Every row opens the live chain, the business and the chart
A “why it passed” column, so the filter is never a black box

Options Calculator

Max profit, max loss and breakeven in plain English — before you click buy. Four strategies, one contract handled as 100 shares for you.

Here’s your result
At $186, you make $235.

You were paid $235 up front. $186 is above your $180 strike, so the put expires worthless and you keep all of it.

Journal & Analytics

Premiums and stock P&L stay two totals, and every closed short put is replayed day by day — what you kept, what your take-profit rule would have kept, and whether the entry waited or chased.

Your takeaway

Waiting was right here. Buying it back never got cheap enough to hit your rule, so there was nothing to take. You waited all 38 days, kept $235 — the whole amount — and $18,000 was locked up throughout.

Never sold an option before? All three steps assume you already know what selling a put is — the Stay Home Trading guide covers that part first.

Enter your email. One-tap sign-in link, no password.

2

All three tools unlock. Nothing asked about payment.

3

At 3 months the trial ends. No card on file, so no charge.

Billing by Stripe. Boring Pays is software, not a broker or an adviser.

How long is the free trial, and do I need a credit card?

3 months, and no. The trial starts on an email address alone, and you are never charged during it — there is no card on file to charge.

Is this financial advice?

No. It is a screener, a calculator and a journal. The tools show numbers; you make the call.

What if I cancel?

One click, from your billing page. You keep access to the end of the period and can still export.

If you add more features, will my price go up?

No. The price today is US$50 a month, or US$450 a year — save 25%, US$37.50 a month, and whichever you join at is yours to keep. People who join later may pay more; you keep what you signed up at.

How do I log in?

Passwordless. Enter your email and we send a one-tap sign-in link — no password to remember, ever.

New to options?

Boring Pays is a tool, not a course — it assumes you already know what selling a put is. If that’s new, start with the Stay Home Trading guide and come back once the basics click. The trial will still be here.

What markets does it cover?

US stocks and their options — built for the calm, income-focused “wheel”: cash-secured puts and covered calls.

Is my journal private?

Yes — it is tied to your account and no one else can see it. If your plan lapses you lose the live market data, but you can still sign in, read your journal and export it to CSV. No lock-in.

Found a bug, or want something added?

Use “Send feedback” in your account menu — pick Bug or Enhancement and it reaches us with your account email. We read every one. Boring Pays is a one-person team, though, so a reply — and a fix — can take a while.
