Greeks dashboard for any option contract or multi-leg position. Covers first-order Greeks (Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega, Rho) and second-order Greeks (Charm, Vanna, Volga). Returns individual and position-level Greeks with scenario heatmaps. Use when: checking option sensitivities, managing position risk, understanding theta decay, analyzing gamma exposure, hedging a portfolio. Triggers on: "Greeks for AAPL 220 call", "position Greeks", "theta decay analysis", "gamma exposure NVDA", "delta of my position", "vega risk SPY straddle".

AlphaGBM Greeks

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

Provides a comprehensive Greeks dashboard for any single option contract or multi-leg position. Calculates first-order and second-order sensitivities, and generates scenario heatmaps showing how Greeks change as price and IV move.

Greeks Covered

GreekOrderWhat It Measures
Delta1stPrice sensitivity -- how much does the option move per $1 in the underlying?
Gamma1stDelta sensitivity -- how fast does delta change? (acceleration)
Theta1stTime decay -- how much value does the option lose per day?
Vega1stIV sensitivity -- how much does the option move per 1% change in IV?
Rho1stInterest rate sensitivity -- how much does the option move per 1% rate change?
Charm2ndDelta decay -- how does delta change as time passes? (delta-theta cross)
Vanna2ndDelta-vol cross -- how does delta change as IV moves?
Volga2ndVega convexity -- how does vega change as IV moves?

Position-Level Analysis

For multi-leg positions, the skill aggregates Greeks across all legs and shows:

  • Net Greeks: Total delta, gamma, theta, vega for the combined position
  • Greeks per unit of capital: Normalized by margin requirement or net debit
  • Risk concentration: Which leg contributes most to each Greek

API Endpoints

Greeks Calculator

Calculate Greeks for a single option from basic parameters:

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

{
  "spot": 150,
  "strike": 155,
  "expiry_days": 30,
  "iv": 0.25,
  "option_type": "call"
}

Parameters:

  • spot (required): Current underlying price
  • strike (required): Option strike price
  • expiry_days (required): Days to expiration
  • iv (required): Implied volatility as decimal (e.g., 0.25 for 25%)
  • option_type (required): "call" or "put"

Implied Volatility Calculator

Reverse-solve for IV given market price:

POST /api/options/tools/implied-volatility
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "market_price": 4.50,
  "spot": 150,
  "strike": 155,
  "expiry_days": 30,
  "option_type": "call"
}

Parameters:

  • market_price (required): Current market price of the option
  • spot (required): Current underlying price
  • strike (required): Option strike price
  • expiry_days (required): Days to expiration
  • option_type (required): "call" or "put"

How to Use

Input

  • Required: Ticker + strike + expiry + type (for single contract), OR a position definition (list of legs)
  • Optional: Underlying price override, IV override, date override (for forward-looking)
