options-strategy is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HKUDS/Vibe-Trading. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,900 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for backtesting portfolios made from options, using the Black-Scholes model to estimate theoretical option prices. It can simulate profit and loss, Greeks, and what happens when options expire.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test covered calls, protective puts, straddles, strangles, spreads, butterflies, and calendar spreads on cryptocurrency or equity options.
Why use it?
It lets you compare multi-option strategies on historical underlying prices without requiring a complete live options-price history.

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

options-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 8d 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.

How it starts

Purpose

Backtesting of option portfolio strategies. Starting from the underlying price, the engine synthesizes theoretical option prices with the Black-Scholes model, then simulates PnL, Greeks exposure, and expiration exercise for multi-leg option portfolios.

Applicable scenarios:

  • Hedging strategies (covered call, protective put)
  • Volatility trading (straddle, strangle)
  • Spread strategies (iron condor, butterfly, calendar spread)
  • Option pricing analysis and Greeks sensitivity research

Supported Strategy Types

Strategy Structure Applicable Market View
Covered Call Hold underlying + short call Mildly bullish, collect premium
Protective Put Hold underlying + long put Bullish but wants downside protection
Straddle Buy same-strike call + put Expect large movement, direction uncertain
Strangle Buy different-strike call + put Expect large movement, lower cost
Iron Condor Sell put spread + sell call spread Range-bound market, collect premium
Butterfly Buy low call + sell 2 middle calls + buy high call Expect narrow-range movement
Calendar Spread Sell near-month + buy far-month at same strike Exploit differences in time decay

OptionsSignalEngine Interface

Write the strategy in code/signal_engine.py, with class name SignalEngine, implementing the generate method:

class SignalEngine:
    """Option strategy signal engine."""

    def generate(self, data_map: dict) -> list:
        """Generate option trading instructions.

        Args:
            data_map: code -> DataFrame (columns: open, high, low, close, volume)

        Returns:
            List of trading instructions. Each instruction has the format:
            {
                "date": "2024-01-15",        # Trading date
                "action": "open" / "close",  # Open or close position
                "underlying": "BTC-USDT",    # Underlying code
                "legs": [                    # List of option legs
                    {
                        "type": "call" / "put",  # Option type
                        "strike": 50000,          # Strike price
                        "expiry": "2024-02-15",   # Expiration date
                        "qty": 1                  # Quantity (positive = long, negative = short)
                    }
                ]
            }
