Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hedging-strategy scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Hedging Strategy Design

Overview

Design systematic hedging plans for existing positions, covering linear hedges (futures / ETFs) and nonlinear hedges (options). Output hedge ratios, cost estimates, and execution plans. Core principle: hedging does not eliminate risk; it exchanges unknown losses for known costs.

Core Concepts

1. Beta Hedging (Futures / ETFs)

Principle: hedge portfolio systematic risk (beta) with index futures or ETFs while preserving single-stock alpha.

Hedge ratio calculation:

# Minimum-variance hedge ratio
hedge_ratio = beta_portfolio * (portfolio_value / futures_value)

# Example: hold a 10 million RMB China A-share portfolio, beta = 1.2
# CSI 300 futures (IF) contract value = index level × 300
# IF level = 4000, contract value = 4000 × 300 = 1.2 million
# Required number of short contracts = 1.2 × (1000 / 120) = 10

# Beta estimation method
import numpy as np
# OLS regression: portfolio_returns = alpha + beta * index_returns + epsilon
beta = np.cov(portfolio_returns, index_returns)[0][1] / np.var(index_returns)

China A-share beta hedging instruments:

Instrument Code Contract Multiplier Margin Suitable Scale
IF (CSI 300 futures) IF2403 300 RMB / point ~12% > 5 million RMB
IC (CSI 500 futures) IC2403 200 RMB / point ~14% > 3 million RMB
IM (CSI 1000 futures) IM2403 200 RMB / point ~15% > 3 million RMB
CSI 300 ETF (510300) 510300.SH Unlevered Any size

Note: stock-index futures have basis (spot-futures spread). Shorting futures when they trade at a discount brings extra return (basis convergence), while premium pricing adds extra cost.

2. Option Hedging Strategies

Protective Put
Hold the underlying + buy a put option
  • Cost: option premium (typically 1-3% of underlying value per month)
  • Protection range: fully protected below the strike price
  • Applicable scenario: worried about a large drawdown but do not want to sell the position
