Build in Public
An autonomous options bot,
built in public
Smart Options Kit is a personal engineering project: a fully autonomous options-trading system running on a paper (simulated) account — an AI agent does the reasoning, deterministic code enforces the limits, and everything is documented honestly.
What you'll find here
Engineering Journal
The build, told straight: architecture decisions, the human-plus-AI development workflow, and honest postmortems of the bugs that only an autonomous system can produce.
Autonomy with Guardrails
An AI agent plans and manages trades, but every action passes through code-enforced risk gates — position budgets, exposure caps, and a global kill-switch. The LLM reasons; the code decides what it's allowed to do.
Options Education
Textbook-style guides to the defined-risk, premium-selling strategies the system is built around — what the structures are and how they behave. No market data, no recommendations.
Strategy guides
Cash Secured Puts
How a short put backed by cash creates an obligation to buy shares.
Covered Calls
How call premium changes the upside and downside of owned shares.
Credit Spreads
Pairing two options to define the maximum expiration gain and loss.
Iron Condors
Combining two credit spreads into a four-leg, range-shaped payoff.
