AlphaGBM Options Strategy

Prerequisites

  • API Key: Set env ALPHAGBM_API_KEY (format agbm_xxxx...).
  • Base URL: Default https://alphagbm.zeabur.app. Override with env ALPHAGBM_BASE_URL.

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

StrategyIdeal TrendMax ProfitMax Loss
Sell PutNeutral / BullishPremium receivedStrike - Premium (assignment risk)
Sell CallNeutral / BearishPremium receivedUnlimited (uncovered)
Buy CallBullishUnlimitedPremium paid
Buy PutBearishStrike - PremiumPremium 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%.

Strategy Selection Logic

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