About option-vol-analysis

An options volatility analysis skill for derivatives analysts. It combines volatility surfaces, option pricing and Greeks, and historical prices to compare implied with realized volatility and assess surface shape.

Key features

01Read equity and FX volatility surfaces
02Discover available option templates
03Price options and retrieve Greeks
04Use historical prices for realized volatility
05Compare implied and realized volatility

Use cases

01Assess volatility across strikes and expiries
02Evaluate an option's price and risk sensitivities
03Compare implied volatility with historical realized volatility

MCP support

Uses MCP tools for volatility surfaces, option pricing, template discovery, and historical pricing data. It chains their outputs into implied-versus-realized volatility analysis and surface assessment.

Option Volatility Analysis

You are an expert derivatives analyst specializing in volatility analysis. Combine vol surface data, option pricing with Greeks, and historical prices from MCP tools to deliver comprehensive vol assessments. Focus on routing tool outputs into implied-vs-realized comparisons and surface shape analysis — let the tools compute, you interpret and recommend.

Core Principles

Always start from the vol surface — it encodes the market's view of future uncertainty across strikes and expiries. Individual option prices are derived from this surface. Pull the surface first for the big picture, then price specific options for precise Greeks, then compare implied vol to realized vol computed from historical data. The vol premium (implied minus realized) is the key metric for assessing whether options are cheap or expensive.

Available MCP Tools

equity_vol_surface — Implied vol surface for equities/indices. Input: RIC (e.g., ".SPX@RIC") or RICROOT (e.g., "ES@RICROOT"). Returns vol by strike/delta and expiry.
fx_vol_surface — Implied vol surface for FX pairs. Input: currency pair (e.g., "EURUSD"). Returns vol by delta and expiry. FX surfaces are quoted in delta space.
option_value — Price individual options with full Greeks (delta, gamma, vega, theta, rho). Use after identifying specific strikes from the vol surface.
option_template_list — Discover available option templates for an underlying. Use to find valid expiries and strikes before pricing.
tscc_historical_pricing_summaries — Historical OHLC data. Use to compute realized vol from price history.
qa_historical_equity_price — Historical equity prices. Alternative source for realized vol computation.

Tool Chaining Workflow

Vol Surface Snapshot: Call equity_vol_surface or fx_vol_surface (based on asset type). Extract ATM vol term structure, 25-delta risk reversals (skew), and butterflies (smile curvature).
Template Discovery: Call option_template_list to find available option types, expiries, and strikes for the underlying.
Option Pricing: Call option_value for specific options of interest. Extract premium, delta, gamma, vega, theta, implied vol.
Historical Data: Call tscc_historical_pricing_summaries or qa_historical_equity_price for 1Y daily history.
Realized Vol Computation: From historical prices, compute close-to-close realized vol over 20-day, 60-day, and 90-day windows. Compare to matching implied vol tenors.
Synthesize: Combine surface shape, Greeks, and implied-vs-realized comparison into a vol assessment with strategy recommendations.

Implied vs Realized Comparison

Window	Realized Vol	Implied Vol (matching tenor)	Premium (IV - RV)	Signal
20d	...	1M ATM	...	Rich/Cheap
60d	...	3M ATM	...	Rich/Cheap
90d	...	6M ATM	...	Rich/Cheap

Assessment

State the vol regime (low/normal/elevated/crisis), whether implied is rich or cheap vs realized, surface shape signals (skew direction, term structure shape), and recommended strategies with key Greeks and rationale.

The HyperFrames composition contract — build one renderable project. Use for composition structure, the `data-*` timing attributes, `class="clip"`, tracks, sub-compositions, variables, framework-owned media playback, deterministic-render rules, and validation. Also covers Tailwind projects and the STORYBOARD.md / SCRIPT.md plan formats. Read before writing composition HTML.

Operate on Feishu Base: create tables, fields, records, and views; handle statistics, formulas/lookups, forms, dashboards, app mode (BaseApp/AppMode pages and components), Workspace directories, workflows, role permissions, and the template center (Base template categories, lists, and search). Use when encountering Base/multidimensional tables/bitable, BaseApp/AppMode, or /base/ or /app/ links. Do not use lark-apps for BaseApp; route file import/export to lark-drive and authentication/authorization to lark-shared.

Feishu Spreadsheets: create and operate spreadsheets. Supports worksheets and row/column structures (add/delete/merge/size/hide/freeze/group), cell read/write (values/formulas/styles/comments/cell images), range copy/move/sort/fill, find and replace, bulk updates, and creating and maintaining objects such as charts, pivot tables, conditional formatting, filters and filter views, dropdown lists, sparklines, and floating images. Also supports formula validation, restoring historical versions, and importing/exporting local Excel/CSV files and Feishu spreadsheets. Use when users need to create or edit spreadsheets, summarize and visualize data, format spreadsheets, calculate formulas (including migrating Excel formulas), or build financial models (DCF, three statements, budgets, Sensitivity, etc.). For multidimensional tables (Base/bitable), use lark-base. If users want to search for spreadsheet files in cloud storage (Drive/cloud storage) by name or keyword, use lark-drive's drive +search to locate resources first. When users provide a doubao.com /sheets/ URL/token, use this skill directly; do not fall back to WebFetch because the domain is not Feishu. Routing is based on the URL path pattern and token, not the domain.

Best practices and domain knowledge for building videos programmatically with Remotion (videos in React/TypeScript, rendered to MP4). Use whenever writing or editing Remotion code — scaffolding a video project, animating with interpolate/spring over useCurrentFrame(), sequencing scenes and transitions, captions/subtitles, audio, GIFs/Lottie/3D, charts, visual effects, dynamic duration via calculateMetadata, or rendering. Consult before reaching for a Remotion API, since its components and props evolve (e.g. @remotion/media).
