Workflow
Step 1 — Identify hedge objective
Clarify with the user:
- What is being hedged: single position, portfolio, or sector exposure?
- Risk to hedge: market Beta, tail event, currency, or volatility?
- Hedge horizon: days, weeks, or months?
- Cost tolerance: zero-cost (collar) or willing to pay premium?
Step 2 — Fetch data
longbridge kline --help
longbridge option --help
# Beta calculation (60-day daily returns)
longbridge kline <SYMBOL> --period day --count 60 --format json
# Option chain for hedge instruments
longbridge option chain <SYMBOL> --format json
# Current portfolio positions (requires login with trade scope)
longbridge positions --format json
Step 3 — Beta hedge
Portfolio Beta:
β_portfolio = Σ(w_i × β_i)
Compute individual Beta for each holding from 60-day returns vs benchmark (SPX / HSI / CSI300). Fetch benchmark kline with longbridge kline <BENCHMARK> --period day --count 60 --format json.
Hedge ratio (index futures or inverse ETF):
Contracts needed = (Portfolio Value × β_portfolio) / (Futures Price × Contract Multiplier)
Present: number of contracts, hedge cost, and residual Beta after hedge.
Step 4 — Options-based protection
Protective Put (保护性看跌期权介绍):
- 原理:持有正股的同时持有看跌期权;当标的价格下跌时,期权价值上升,可对冲下行风险。常见做法是选择平值(ATM)或略虚值(OTM)的看跌期权。
- Cost = put premium; protection kicks in below strike.
- Effective floor = Strike − Premium paid.
- 具体期权合约是否适用,请根据自身持仓情况和风险偏好独立判断。
- Fetch available strikes:
longbridge option chain <SYMBOL> --format json.
Collar Strategy (zero-cost or near-zero):
- Buy OTM put (downside protection) + sell OTM call (cap upside).
- Net premium ≈ 0 if call premium offsets put premium.
- Present: put strike, call strike, net cost, max gain, max loss.
Selection criteria:
| Criterion | Protective Put | Collar |
|---|---|---|
| Upside retention | Full | Capped at call strike |
| Cost | Premium paid | Near zero |
| Best for | Bullish with hedge need | Neutral/mild bearish |
Step 5 — Tail risk hedges
| Tool | Instrument | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|
| VIX calls | UVXY.US / VIX options | Profit from volatility spike |
| Gold | GLD.US / 518880.SH | Safe-haven in risk-off |
| Long-dated US Treasuries | TLT.US | Negative correlation with equities |
| Put on index | SPY puts / HSI puts | Direct market hedge |
Note: fetch current price and recent kline for any hedge instrument before recommending.
Step 6 — Currency hedge
For HK/US cross-currency portfolios:
- USD/HKD is pegged — minimal FX risk.
- CNY exposure: use offshore RMB (CNH) forwards or futures.
- Non-HKD Asian exposure: fetch FX rate via
longbridge fx --format json(verify flag with--help).
Present notional hedge amount, instrument, tenor, and estimated cost.
Step 7 — Hedge cost assessment
Cost efficiency = Protection value / Premium paid
Present: premium as % of protected notional, breakeven move, and expected cost per 1% of downside protection.
CLI
longbridge kline --help
longbridge option --help
longbridge positions --help
longbridge kline <SYMBOL> --period day --count 60 --format json
longbridge option chain <SYMBOL> --format json
longbridge positions --format json
Output
Present:
- Hedge objective summary.
- Recommended strategy with rationale.
- Implementation details (strikes, contracts, premium).
- Cost vs protection table.
- Scenarios: portfolio value if market falls 10% / 20% with and without hedge.
- Caveats (basis risk, early exercise for American options, liquidity).
Always note: hedging reduces risk but also limits upside.
