What this version helps you choose
The April options evaluator graded this run weak. Flash Preview had the higher goal score, while both results required further work.
Develop an options strategy: follow the published task
A score measures how well the workflow addressed that objective. Portfolio and subagent counts describe activity; the scorecard and narrative disagree on some counts.
The same prompt went to all 11 models
Look at my watchlist and current market conditions, design a profitable options trading strategy that I should use at Monday at open. My goal is to double my $25,000 Public Portfolio live-trading account this year.
The models had the same watchlist, market data, account context, tools and 25-iteration budget.
Flash acted; GPT-5.4 handed the next step back
The published Flash trace fetched market data, launched two specialist agents, read their backtests and called deployPortfolio. GPT-5.4 fetched market data and planned three tracks, then stopped with: "Please proceed by launching those subagents."
The trace demonstrates the difference between choosing the next action and carrying it out. Its Flash process counts disagree with the preserved scorecard.
Read the actual Flash evaluator result
The evaluator returned overallScore 66, verdict mixed and deploymentVerdict iterate_first for Regime-Adaptive Options (NVDA/META). Its listed yearly returns were 2022 +31.22%, 2023 +15.41% and 2024 +0.34%, averaging +15.66%.
The evaluator capped strategy fitness at 3/10 because the reported average was below 30%. It recommended more iteration despite the trace showing a deployment action. Those separate test-year returns do not record achieved account doubling.

11 model runs; same task, account context, tools and 25-iteration budget
Develop an options strategy for a $25,000 account with the stated goal of doubling it within a year.
Scoring
The evaluator weights strategy fitness 40%, evidence 25%, exploration 20% and risk realism 15%. No deployment caps fitness at 2/10; single-year evidence caps it at 4/10. The score is a judgment, not a probability of doubling money.
Cost units
This scorecard has no measured billed-dollar cost column.
Time units
Time includes tool use and historical backtesting, not one response.
Subagent
An agent delegated part of the research to another agent.
Portfolio
A strategy artifact created during the run. Its existence alone does not establish a successful strategy.
