| name | alphagbm-pnl-simulator |
| description | P&L simulation engine for any single-leg or multi-leg option position. Generates profit/loss diagrams at expiry, P&L over time, what-if scenarios (price, IV, time), breakeven analysis, and probability distributions. Use when: testing a trade idea, visualizing risk/reward, running what-if scenarios, checking breakeven points, stress-testing a position. Triggers on: "simulate PnL for AAPL bull call spread", "what if NVDA drops 10%", "P&L diagram", "test my iron condor", "breakeven analysis", "stress test my position", "what happens at expiry".

AlphaGBM P&L Simulator
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
Simulates profit and loss for any option position across multiple dimensions -- underlying price, implied volatility, and time to expiration. Produces P&L diagrams, breakeven analysis, and probability-weighted outcome distributions.
Four Core Strategies for Context
| Strategy | Ideal Trend | Max Profit | Max Loss |
|---|
| Sell Put | Neutral / Bullish | Premium received | Strike - Premium |
| Sell Call | Neutral / Bearish | Premium received | Unlimited (uncovered) |
| Buy Call | Bullish | Unlimited | Premium paid |
| Buy Put | Bearish | Strike - Premium | Premium paid |
Simulation Capabilities
| Capability | Description |
|---|
| P&L at Expiry | Classic payoff diagram -- profit/loss vs. underlying price at expiration |
| P&L Over Time | How the position's value evolves from now to expiry (time-series curves) |
| What-If: Price | Vary underlying price by fixed amount or percentage -- see impact on P&L |
| What-If: IV | Vary implied volatility -- see how IV crush or spike affects the position |
| What-If: Time | Fast-forward to a specific date -- see theta decay impact |
| Probability Distribution | Monte Carlo simulation of outcomes with probability of profit |
| Breakeven Analysis | Exact breakeven points with time-varying breakevens before expiry |
Supported Position Types
- Single leg (long call, long put, short call, short put)
- Two-leg spreads (vertical, calendar, diagonal)
- Three-leg combinations (butterflies, ratio spreads)
- Four-leg combinations (iron condors, iron butterflies, double diagonals)
- Arbitrary multi-leg custom positions
