AI Crypto Options Analysis: A Prompt That Requests Evidence and Invalidation

Options analysis rests on assumptions about who holds which options. A good prompt makes the AI state them before drawing conclusions.

Short answer

An AI options-analysis prompt should name the underlying, venue(s) and expiries, ask for open interest by strike, implied volatility (ATM and 25-delta skew) with the snapshot time, realised volatility over a matching horizon, and any gamma-exposure estimate with its positioning assumption stated. Ask what the data implies, what the assumption-dependent parts are, and what would change the view. Max pain should be presented as a one-expiry calculation, not a target.
