Example prompt: I'm moderately bullish on ETH over the next 30 days and want limited downside risk — can you use QuantOracle to recommend an options strategy with a medium risk tolerance, using ETH as the underlying and a $2,500 target strike?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quantitative recommendation or evaluation of a specific options strategy for a crypto or financial asset. Prefer this over the strategy-optimizer sibling when you want a direct strategy output rather than an optimized comparison across multiple strategies. Best suited for agents helping users structure derivatives positions with defined risk/reward profiles.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields such as underlying asset or expiration returns a 400 validation error
- Unsupported asset or strategy type returns an error indicating invalid input
- Insufficient market data for the given asset or timeframe may return a partial or degraded result
- Malformed request body results in a 422 unprocessable entity error
- Service unavailability returns a 503 with retry guidance
