## 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 saylor-innovations-data-desk-options-strategy-payoff-6552474a
```

Example prompt: What's the max profit, max loss, and breakeven prices for a bull call spread with a long call at strike 100 paying a $3 premium and a short call at strike 110 receiving a $1 premium, each with quantity 1?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a complete quantitative breakdown of any options strategy payoff profile at expiry — including spreads (bull/bear call/put), straddles, strangles, iron condors, butterflies, and covered calls — without needing live market data. It is ideal for pre-trade risk evaluation, education, and scenario analysis when you already know the strikes and premiums.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed legs JSON array returns a 400 error
- More than 8 legs provided exceeds limit
- Missing required legs parameter causes validation failure
- Inconsistent or nonsensical leg combinations may return null for max_profit or max_loss where analytically undefined
- Network or service errors return non-200 HTTP status

## How this service works

Payoff of any option strategy from its legs - max profit, max loss, breakeven prices, net debit or credit and a payoff table at expiry for spreads and condors

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: max_profit and max_loss (dollar amounts, or null/unlimited), an array of breakeven_prices, net_premium (net debit or credit), a boolean unlimited_loss flag, contract multiplier, the parsed legs array confirming inputs, and a payoff_at_expiry array mapping underlying prices to profit/loss values. Also includes a note with context for interpreting results and a source field.
