What problem does it solve?
This Skill removes the guesswork of designing and evaluating multi-leg options strategies by simulating theoretical pricing, PnL paths, and daily Greeks exposure before you risk capital.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Black-Scholes Pricing & Greeks: Computes European option values and portfolio-level Delta/Gamma/Theta/Vega using historical volatility as a proxy for implied volatility.
- Multi-Leg Backtesting: Simulates open/close/exercise/expire outcomes for option portfolios composed of multiple legs across different strikes and expiries.
- Strategy Coverage for Common Market Views: Supports hedging, volatility, and range-bound structures such as covered calls, protective puts, straddles/strangles, iron condors, butterflies, and calendar spreads.
- Practical Outputs for Decision-Making: Generates equity and trade records plus metrics and Greeks time series for post-run analysis.
Quick Start
