Workflow
- Clarify user's market view (direction + conviction) and time horizon.
- Fetch underlying spot (
longbridge quote), option chain expiries, near-term strikes, and call/put volume. - Assess IV from ATM IV in chain vs rough HV proxy (see
longbridge-options-volatility). - Select 1–2 strategies from the matrix; explain structure, legs, and cost.
- Show example legs using live strikes from the chain (ATM and nearby).
- Output structured recommendation (template below).
