Can OptAI explain options concepts?

Yes. OptAI works as an on-demand tutor for options mechanics. Ask anything from 'what is theta decay?' to how an iron condor responds to a rise in implied volatility, and OptAI explains it in clear language, pulling market data into the explanation only when it helps.

Topics OptAI can explain

  • Option basics: calls, puts, strikes, expiration, exercise and assignment
  • The Greeks: delta, gamma, theta, vega and rho
  • Implied volatility, volatility skew and term structure
  • How multi-leg strategies such as spreads, straddles, strangles and iron condors behave
  • The models and assumptions behind OptiView's charts

Example questions

  • 'What is theta decay and why does it speed up near expiration?'
  • 'How does a long straddle react if implied volatility drops after earnings?'
  • 'What does vega mean for a calendar spread?'
