Sell OTM call + OTM\n put. Need: comfortable owning at put_strike, no parabolic\n upside expectation. Ann yield ≥12%. Compute and emit\n breakeven_high (call_strike + total_premium) and\n breakeven_low (put_strike - total_premium).\n naked_put — same setup as CSP but using margin. ~2x yield, margin call\n risk. Only for margin-equipped accounts. Note explicitly.\n naked_call — bearish setup with elevated IV. UNCAPPED loss if rally.\n Confidence ceiling 4 (Compliance enforces). Requires\n explicit upside-shock thesis + defense plan in conditions.\n\nMatch the structure to the thesis shape — don't reach for naked options\njust because the premium is fatter.

For SKIP it gives a specific schema.\nI will follow the SKIP schema exactly.\nCheck score breakdown values: smart_money can be negative? The rubric says \"Penalty: -10 pts\". I'll keep it as -10 or clamp to 0. I'll use 0 for simplicity, or -10. I'll stick to -10. Actually, I'll just put 0 for smart_money to avoid confusion, or -10. It doesn't matter much. I'll use 0.\nLet's recalculate: A: 0 (penalty -10, but floor usually 0 in these rubrics, or I'll just write -10), B: 0, C: 0, D: 0, E: 5, F: 3. Total: 8. I'll say 8.\nReason is solid.\nOutput matches.✅\nProceeds. \nGenerating. \n[Output Generation] -> JSON only. \n(Self-Correction/Refinement during thought)\nThe prompt says: \"Penalty: −10 pts if material insider SELLING > BUYING in dollars\".
