Strategies & Agents Overview

option circle revolves around two core components strategies and agents together, they give you powerful tools to automate your trading while maintaining full control over risk, logic, and performance what is a strategy? a strategy is the container for your trading logic, risk settings, and capital allocation think of it like a portfolio sleeve—you decide how much of your budget to allocate and what type of trades to run inside purpose helps you manage risk by segmenting your capital into separate trade plans how it works you assign a percentage of your total budget to each strategy (e g , 20%, 50%, 100%), allowing you to diversify across trade styles (income, growth, hedging) align with your personal risk profile control exposure across asset classes example allocate 30% of your account to a “conservative income” strategy that uses low risk trades like covered calls what is an agent (bot)? agents are automated tools that execute your strategy’s trading rules once deployed, they run 24/7 to monitor conditions and act without emotion purpose automate trade entries and exits based on predefined signals how it works you build logic like “buy when rsi < 30” “sell when price reaches 20% profit” “open position if macd crosses up” each agent follows these instructions in real time, using the budget tied to its strategy 🔀 modularity one strategy can use multiple agents , each with a distinct function entry agent (opens new positions) exit agent (manages stop loss or profit taking) hedging agent (adjusts exposure using index puts or volatility) example in a “conservative income” strategy agent 1 buys calls when the 50 day ma is crossed agent 2 exits the position when a 15% target is hit 🔁 combining strategies & agents together, strategies define what capital to use and agents define how to trade within that capital allocation component function strategy budget & risk definition agent trade execution logic example setup allocate 40% of your portfolio to high volatility trades → agents trigger buys and sells based on bollinger bands , atr , or volume spikes this modular approach gives you control and flexibility—so you can scale, automate, and adjust as the market evolves
