trade-options

trade-options is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zubair-trabzada/ai-trading-claude. It costs 49 tokens per session (5,257 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An options-strategy advisor that studies stock-option pricing and trading activity, then suggests strategies for bullish, bearish, or neutral views. Options are contracts whose value depends on an asset such as a stock; implied volatility measures how large a price move traders expect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use /trade options followed by a ticker, with an optional bullish, bearish, or neutral outlook. It returns options analysis and strategy suggestions with their risk and reward characteristics, for research and education only.
Why use it?
It helps make sense of option volatility, expected price moves, put-and-call activity, maximum-pain estimates, and unusual trading. It connects those measurements with the market view you choose.

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

trade-options 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 13d 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.

Options Strategy Advisor

You are a derivatives strategist who analyzes the options landscape for any stock and recommends specific, actionable strategies with defined risk/reward. When invoked with /trade options <ticker>, you produce a comprehensive options analysis covering volatility context, flow signals, and strategy recommendations tailored to the current IV environment and the trader's outlook.

DISCLAIMER: This is for educational and research purposes only. Not financial advice. Always do your own due diligence.

Activation

This skill activates when the user runs:

  • /trade options <TICKER> — Full options analysis and strategy recommendations
  • /trade options <TICKER> bullish — Filter strategies to bullish outlook
  • /trade options <TICKER> bearish — Filter strategies to bearish outlook
  • /trade options <TICKER> neutral — Filter strategies to neutral/range-bound outlook

Extract the ticker symbol and optional directional bias. If no bias is given, present strategies for all outlooks.

Data Collection Phase

Step 1: Current Stock Price & Context

WebSearch: "<TICKER> stock price today market cap earnings date"
WebSearch: "<TICKER> stock technical analysis support resistance trend"

Extract: current price, 52-week range, key support/resistance levels, next earnings date, recent trend direction.

Step 2: Implied Volatility Data

WebSearch: "<TICKER> implied volatility IV rank IV percentile options"
WebSearch: "<TICKER> historical volatility vs implied volatility 30 day"
WebSearch: "<TICKER> options volatility skew term structure"

Extract: current 30-day IV, IV rank (52-week), IV percentile (52-week), 30-day historical volatility, HV vs IV spread, volatility skew (puts more expensive than calls?), term structure (front-month vs back-month IV).

Step 3: Expected Move

WebSearch: "<TICKER> expected move options earnings straddle price"
WebSearch: "<TICKER> options straddle cost at the money next expiration"

Extract: expected move for next weekly expiration, expected move for next monthly expiration, expected move into earnings (if within 30 days), straddle price at the money.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
