I make thousands each week buying and selling options.

Not because I'm smarter than anyone else. Because I built a system.

Here's the entire framework in one thread: Image My system has 3 tools:

1. Cash-secured puts (CSPs)
2. Covered calls (CCs)
3. Selective LEAPs

CSPs and CCs are the engine. LEAPs are the accelerator.

80% of the time I'm selling premium. The other 20% I'm buying it on
my highest conviction names.

BREAKING: Claude now has the ability to pull live options chains and Greeks through a free API

It structures cash-secured puts, spreads, LEAPS, covered calls, and poor man's covered calls using real data

Here's how to set it up and 5 real trade setups it just built: Image Step 1: Give Claude your options trading strategy

You have two choices here:

Option A: Tell Claude your specific rules. Example: "For cash-secured puts, I target 0.20 delta, 30 DTE, and close at 50% profit. For LEAPs, I want 360+ DTE and only buy when IV is low. For covered calls, I sell near resistance above my cost basis."

Option B: Ask Claude to guide you. Example: "Walk me through the most common profitable options strategies for generating income. Help me decide which ones fit my goals and build a framework I can follow."

Either way, Claude now understands your system before you start scanning chains.

I don't understand why people are still researching stocks manually in 2026

Claude can break down entire companies, stress-test your thesis, and find risks you're missing in seconds

Here are 10 prompts to turn it into your personal stock research analyst: Image 1. The Business Breakdown

Stop reading 200-page filings blind.

"Break down [TICKER]'s business model like I'm deciding whether to own this stock for 5 years. Walk through every revenue stream and its percentage of total revenue. What's the growth trajectory of each segment? What competitive advantage keeps them ahead and is it widening or narrowing? What would have to go wrong for this company to be irrelevant in 5 years? Don't give me a balanced overview - give me the version where you're trying to find reasons NOT to buy."

Wall Street quant desks spend $500K+/year building trading systems

Claude can build the retail investor version (for free)

Here are 10 prompts that turn Claude into your personal quant analyst: Image 1. The Renaissance Technologies Backtesting Framework

"I want to backtest a simple trading strategy before risking real money. Help me build a framework.

My strategy: [DESCRIBE - e.g., buy when RSI drops below 30 on a stock above its 200-day MA, sell when RSI hits 60]

Walk me through:
- What historical data do I need and where to get it for free?
- How do I account for transaction costs and slippage so the backtest is realistic?
- What's the proper way to split data into training and testing periods so I'm not just curve-fitting?
- Run a basic backtest of my strategy and show me: win rate, average gain vs average loss, max drawdown, and Sharpe ratio
- How does this compare to just buying and holding SPY over the same period?

Write the Python code to run this. Keep it simple enough for someone who can copy and paste but isn't a developer. If the strategy doesn't beat buy and hold, tell me."

1. "Should I Be Trading?" Market Environment Dashboard (inspired by @investingluc)

"Build a live Bloomberg Terminal-style market dashboard called 'Should I Be Trading?' that scores the current market environment for swing traders.

Score these 5 categories 0-100:

VOLATILITY (25% weight): VIX level and 5-day trend, VIX 1-year percentile, put/call ratio estimate from VIX regime

TREND (20% weight): SPY vs 20/50/200-day moving averages, QQQ vs 50-day, SPY 14-day RSI, classify as uptrend/downtrend/chop

BREADTH (20% weight): % of stocks above 20d/50d/200d moving averages, NYSE advance/decline ratio, Nasdaq new highs vs new lows

MOMENTUM (25% weight): All 11 S&P sector ETFs ranked by 1/3/6 month performance, top 3 vs bottom 3 spread, % of stocks making higher highs

MACRO (10% weight): 10-year yield level and trend, DXY trend, Fed stance, flag if FOMC within 72 hours

Combine into a weighted Market Quality Score. Display decision: 80-100 = YES (full size), 60-79 = CAUTION (half size, A+ setups only), below 60 = NO (preserve capital).

Dark background, green/red/amber indicators, monospace font, auto-refresh. Include scrolling ticker bar at top and a plain-English summary of the environment."Image

This is insane 🤯

I used OpenClaw to build a free options flow scanner that shows you exactly what hedge funds are buying in real time

Then it lets you execute the same trade with one click

Here's how it works: Image The idea behind Dark Flow:

Hedge funds, market makers, and institutional desks leave footprints in the options market before big moves happen.

When someone buys 10x more contracts than the existing open interest at a specific strike, that's not retail.

Dark Flow catches those prints as they happen and shows you exactly where the smart money is positioning.

The top 5 easiest buy and holds for the next 5 years:

1. $NVDA - NVIDIA

NVIDIA doesn't just make chips. It designs the entire computing stack that AI runs on. GPUs, networking, software, developer tools. Every major AI company on the planet depends on NVIDIA infrastructure. Jensen just said at GTC they expect at least $1 trillion in cumulative AI infrastructure revenue through 2027.Image 2. $AMZN - Amazon

AWS is becoming the infrastructure layer every major AI company runs on. $50B invested in OpenAI. $8B in Anthropic. $200B in capex this year. OpenAI committed $138B in total cloud spend on AWS. Anthropic runs its models on a dedicated $11B data center in Indiana. Amazon isn't picking one AI winner. It's powering all of them.Image

$IREN did $17M in AI cloud revenue last quarter on a $14B market cap.

That looks expensive. But the market is missing the full picture.

Here's why I think $IREN re-rates over the next 12 months: Image The Contract

$IREN signed a $9.7B deal with Microsoft. Five years. $1.9B prepaid upfront before a single GPU was deployed.

You don't prepay $1.9B for capacity you don't need.

Expected to generate $1.94B in average annual revenue once fully ramped.

BREAKING: Claude can now help you build a $100,000 options portfolio (for free)

Here are 12 prompts you use every week to sell puts, run the wheel, and compound premium income: Image 1. The IV Environment Scanner

"I want to trade options on [TICKER], currently at [PRICE]. Before I choose a strategy, I need to understand the volatility environment.

Look up the current IV rank and IV percentile on Barchart for this stock.

- Is IV high, low, or average relative to this stock's range over the past year?
- What's driving the current IV level?
- Based on the IV environment, should I be selling premium (high IV = fat premiums) or buying options like LEAPs (low IV = cheap contracts)?
- How does the current IV compare to the stock's sector average?

The IV environment tells me which strategy to use before anything else. If you're not sure, tell me to wait."

This is actually insane 🤯

You can now set up Claude as your personal financial analyst that works on your actual files (for $20/month)

Here's exactly how I set up Claude Cowork for stock research, earnings analysis, and portfolio management: Image First - what makes Cowork different from regular Claude:

Regular Claude: you paste text into a chat and get a response

Cowork: you point Claude at an entire folder on your computer. Earnings PDFs, 10-K filings, transcripts, spreadsheets. It reads everything, processes it, and creates finished documents you can save and reference.

No copy-pasting. No character limits. Just point it at your files and tell it what you need.

Download Claude Desktop and switch to the Cowork tab to get started.

BREAKING: AI can now analyze options trades like a $500/hr options strategist (for free)

Here are 10 Claude prompts I use to sell puts, buy LEAPs, and run the wheel without second-guessing every trade

(Save this for later) Image 1. The Strategy Selector

"[TICKER] is on my watchlist and I'm ready to act. Help me decide which strategy fits right now.

Current conditions:
- Stock price: [PRICE]
- My conviction level: [MODERATE / HIGH / VERY HIGH]
- IV environment: [Look up IV rank on Barchart for me]
- Available capital: [AMOUNT]

Based on these conditions:

- Should I sell a cash-secured put?
- Should I buy a LEAP?
- Should I do both?
- Or should I do nothing and wait?

Walk me through the decision like a flowchart. IV first, then conviction, then capital. Don't let me force a strategy that doesn't fit the setup."

No more $2,000/month Bloomberg Terminal

Here are 10 Claude prompts I use every day that replaced hours of manual research

(Save this for later) Image 1. The Deep Dive Business Breakdown

"Break down [TICKER]'s business model like I'm a potential acquirer evaluating the company:

- How does this company actually make money? Walk through each revenue stream and its percentage of total revenue
- What's the growth trajectory of each segment?
- Who are they competing against, and what's their defensible advantage?
- What would have to go wrong for this company to be irrelevant in 5 years?
- What's the single biggest risk the market might be underpricing right now?

Don't give me a balanced corporate overview. Give me the version where you're trying to find reasons NOT to buy this company."
