What This Skill Does

Given a market view and a ticker, recommends the best multi-leg option strategies ranked by risk/reward profile. Selects optimal strikes and expirations automatically using AlphaGBM's scoring engine.

Four Core Strategies and Trend Alignment

Strategy	Ideal Trend	Max Profit	Max Loss
Sell Put	Neutral / Bullish	Premium received	Strike - Premium (assignment risk)
Sell Call	Neutral / Bearish	Premium received	Unlimited (uncovered)
Buy Call	Bullish	Unlimited	Premium paid
Buy Put	Bearish	Strike - Premium	Premium paid

Trend alignment scoring: The scoring model rewards contracts that match the prevailing trend. For Sell Put, a downtrend scores 100 (counter-intuitive: you want to sell puts into weakness for higher premium), while an uptrend scores 30. For Buy Call, bullish momentum is weighted at 25%.

Supported Strategy Templates (15+)

Category	Strategies
Bullish	Bull Call Spread, Bull Put Spread, Long Call, Covered Call, Synthetic Long
Bearish	Bear Put Spread, Bear Call Spread, Long Put, Synthetic Short
Neutral	Iron Condor, Iron Butterfly, Short Straddle, Short Strangle, Calendar Spread
Volatile	Long Straddle, Long Strangle, Butterfly Spread, Reverse Iron Condor
Income	Covered Call, Cash-Secured Put, Collar, Jade Lizard

Risk-Return Profiles

Style	Typical Win Rate	Typical Return
steady_income	65-80%	1-5%/month
balanced	40-55%	50-200%
high_risk_high_reward	20-40%	2-10x
hedge	30-50%	0-1x

Strategy Selection Logic

Match user's market view to candidate strategies
Filter by IV environment (high IV favors selling premium; low IV favors buying)
Score each candidate using risk/reward, probability of profit, and capital efficiency
Rank and return the top 3 recommendations with full details
