AlphaGBM P&L Simulator

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

Simulates profit and loss for any option position across multiple dimensions -- underlying price, implied volatility, and time to expiration. Produces P&L diagrams, breakeven analysis, and probability-weighted outcome distributions.

Four Core Strategies for Context

Strategy	Ideal Trend	Max Profit	Max Loss
Sell Put	Neutral / Bullish	Premium received	Strike - Premium
Sell Call	Neutral / Bearish	Premium received	Unlimited (uncovered)
Buy Call	Bullish	Unlimited	Premium paid
Buy Put	Bearish	Strike - Premium	Premium paid

Simulation Capabilities

Capability	Description
P&L at Expiry	Classic payoff diagram -- profit/loss vs. underlying price at expiration
P&L Over Time	How the position's value evolves from now to expiry (time-series curves)
What-If: Price	Vary underlying price by fixed amount or percentage -- see impact on P&L
What-If: IV	Vary implied volatility -- see how IV crush or spike affects the position
What-If: Time	Fast-forward to a specific date -- see theta decay impact
Probability Distribution	Monte Carlo simulation of outcomes with probability of profit
Breakeven Analysis	Exact breakeven points with time-varying breakevens before expiry

Supported Position Types

• Single leg (long call, long put, short call, short put)
• Two-leg spreads (vertical, calendar, diagonal)
• Three-leg combinations (butterflies, ratio spreads)
• Four-leg combinations (iron condors, iron butterflies, double diagonals)
• Arbitrary multi-leg custom positions

API Endpoint

P&L Simulator

POST /api/options/tools/simulate
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "symbol": "AAPL",
  "spot": 150.0,
  "legs": [
    {"action": "buy", "option_type": "call", "strike": 145, "expiry_days": 30, "iv": 0.26},
    {"action": "sell", "option_type": "call", "strike": 150, "expiry_days": 30, "iv": 0.25}
  ]
}

Parameters:

• symbol (required): Ticker symbol
• spot (required): Current underlying price
• legs (required): Array of option legs, each with:
  • action: "buy" or "sell"
  • option_type: "call" or "put"
  • strike: Strike price
  • expiry_days: Days to expiration
  • iv: Implied volatility as decimal (e.g., 0.26 for 26%)

How to Use

Input

• Required: Position definition (legs with strike, expiry, type, quantity, entry price)
• Optional: Scenario parameters (price range, IV shift, target date), number of Monte Carlo paths
