NORMAL MODE — Bucket A (Deep ITM, LC 40-95% of stock, delta ≥ 0.70) for synthetic stock replacement; Bucket B (OTM/ATM, LC 90-200%) for max leverage / convexity. Score = WSPL × √(DTE/365); Bucket A weights peak at +25-75% (moderate-bull view), Bucket B peaks at +75-100% (convexity payoff).

Anchor Cost Analysis (Dec '28, 953d)

What you trade by anchoring to Dec '28 (953d) instead of letting the score pick freely across all chains. ANCHOR wins each dimension where the anchored pick is better; free wins where the cross-chain best is better. The DTE row shows how much extra runway anchoring buys you.

How to read the Weighted row: your expected dollar P&L if all the scenarios above played out, with each weighted by how much it matters for this mode. Stock replacement view: small moves matter most. +25% gets the biggest weight, then +50% / +75%. -20% and flat both count (they hurt the score). The Score is this same number multiplied by √(DTE/365) so longer-dated chains get a small bonus.

Anchor Cost Analysis (Dec '28, 953d)

What you trade by anchoring to Dec '28 (953d) instead of letting the score pick freely across all chains. ANCHOR wins each dimension where the anchored pick is better; free wins where the cross-chain best is better. The DTE row shows how much extra runway anchoring buys you.

Each row is the at-expiry P&L if the stock lands at the target price. Score = (weighted-avg P&L) / (max-loss + theta-cost-over-hold) * time-fit. Read this table to override the score winner if your conviction favors a specific scenario row.

How to read the Weighted row: your expected dollar P&L if all the scenarios above played out, with each weighted by how much it matters for this mode. Active directional view: targets at 0.5-3 sigma of expected move over the chosen horizon. 1.5-sigma carries the biggest weight (most likely breakout magnitude). The Score is this same number multiplied by √(DTE/365) so longer-dated chains get a small bonus.

The Score is this same number multiplied by √(DTE/365) so longer-dated chains get a small bonus.

Stock replacement view: small moves matter most. +25% gets the biggest weight, then +50% / +75%. -20% and flat both count (they hurt the score). The Score is this same number multiplied by √(DTE/365) so longer-dated chains get a small bonus.

OFF-RTH DATA — 100% of strikes have no live streaming quote. Bid/ask in this dashboard is synthesized from last/close. Structure analysis (delta, P&L curve, score) is reliable; specific execution prices are NOT. Re-verify quotes at the moment of trade entry. Run during US RTH (09:30-16:00 ET) for live spreads.
NORMAL MODE — Bucket A (Deep ITM, LC 40-95% of stock, delta ≥ 0.70) for synthetic stock replacement; Bucket B (OTM/ATM, LC 90-200%) for max leverage / convexity. Score = WSPL × √(DTE/365); Bucket A weights peak at +25-75% (moderate-bull view), Bucket B peaks at +75-100% (convexity payoff). Designed for hold-to-expiry LEAPS positions.  |  Anchored to Dec '28 (953d): all comparisons restricted to this chain. See Anchor Cost Analysis below.

Use this only on names with strong directional conviction over a 2-year horizon.  |  Anchored to Dec '28 (953d): all comparisons restricted to this chain. See Anchor Cost Analysis below.

YOLO Mode: Widened OTM (LC max 300% of stock, 3-4x thesis, 2yr horizon) ($100,000 ML budget)

★ = recommended pick (per Verdict below; multi-dim winner across score, capital, BE, theta, ROIC). ◆ = best Fortress (when not winner). ▲ = best Pure (when not winner). ● = Stock baseline reference. Score = WSPL x sqrt(DTE/365), tail-weighted for 3-4x thesis. Positive theta = you collect time decay daily (paid to wait). Negative theta = you pay time decay daily (cost of holding long options).

Best Fortress: $400C / $310P / $280P (Dec '28, 953d)

Anchor Cost Analysis (Dec '28, 953d)

What you trade by anchoring to Dec '28 (953d) instead of letting the score pick freely across all chains. ANCHOR wins each dimension where the anchored pick is better; free wins where the cross-chain best is better. The DTE row shows how much extra runway anchoring buys you.

Anchor expensive (~79% on score/P&L/ROIC). Anchor gives +637d runway. Wins: IC (capital), Max Loss, Theta/day. Loses: Score, Contracts, Breakeven. ⚠ Free pick is a short-DTE lottery ticket (147 contracts in 316d). Score is inflated by contract count, not realistic to actually trade at this size.

Loss = |net_delta_total * stock_price * stop_pct|. Delta-only first-order estimate; ignores vega/theta. Conservative (LOW-end) — real MTM loss is typically 10-30% larger due to extrinsic compression on a fast move.

How to read the Weighted row: your expected dollar P&L if all the scenarios above played out, with each weighted by how much it matters for this mode. 3-4x thesis: huge moves matter most. +200% (3x) and +300% (4x) get the biggest weights. +400% counted as tail; +700% / +1000% rows shown above are eye candy and don't count. The Score is this same number multiplied by √(DTE/365) so longer-dated chains get a small bonus.
