## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-quantoracle-dev-88b40e5d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I have a $50,000 long stock position in a stock trading at $125, with 35% volatility and a risk-free rate of 5% — can you recommend the best hedging strategies for a 30-day horizon, keeping my hedge cost under 3% of the position value?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quantitative, ranked comparison of multiple hedging strategies for a specific equity or asset position, especially when you have cost constraints and want both option-based (collar, protective put) and futures-based approaches evaluated together with scores and dollar costs.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing required fields (r, volatility, asset_price, position_type, position_value, time_horizon_days) return 400 validation error
- Negative or zero asset price or position value returns error
- Unrecognized position_type enum returns 400
- max_hedge_cost_pct of 0 may return empty affordable hedges list
- Service unavailable or timeout returns 5xx error

## How this service works

Free, fast quant finance calculators powered by a deterministic, multi-chain API. Black-Scholes, options profit, Kelly, VaR, crypto liquidation, and more.

## Output

Returns a ranked list of hedging strategies (e.g. collar, protective put, futures inverse hedge) each with a numeric score, cost in USD and as a percentage of position value, affordability flag, description of protection offered, option strikes, max gain/loss if hedged, and breakeven price. Response includes latency in milliseconds.
