💬 AI prompt: If you want to trade options yourself
If you want to trade options yourself, learn first, practice with pretend money, and start with trades where you know your worst case.
Copy this prompt
Explain this options trade I'm considering on paper only: [describe legs, strikes, expiration, premium]. Give me max profit, max loss, break-even, what happens at expiration at 5 different prices, and what happens if the short leg is assigned early. Educational only; do not recommend the trade or give personal investment advice. Stop after the table and the assignment explanation.
