Add ability to track options contracts with strike price, breakeven, and premium display

[Copilot]

Summary

This PR adds support for tracking options contracts in ticker, allowing users to monitor options positions with automatic calculation of breakeven prices and display of key option metrics.

Initial Implementation

Added options configuration support in groups with the following fields:

• Symbol
• Strike price
• Type (put/call)
• Premium
• Number of contracts

Bug Fix

Fixed issue where option-specific fields were not displaying in the UI. The asset class was being set to the quote's original class (e.g., AssetClassStock for AAPL, TSLA) instead of AssetClassOption, so the UI rendering logic that checks if asset.Class == c.AssetClassOption never triggered.

UI Display

When using the --show-fundamentals flag, options now display:

Left column (top):

• Strike Price: The option contract's strike price
• Breakeven: Calculated breakeven price (strike + premium for calls, strike - premium for puts)

Left column (bottom):

• Diff to Strike: Current underlying price minus strike price
• Premium: The premium paid per share

Changes Made

1. internal/common/common.go: Added Option and QuoteOption data structures, added AssetClassOption to asset class enum
2. internal/cli/cli.go: Extended group parsing to extract symbols from options
3. internal/asset/asset.go:
   • Added option processing logic with automatic breakeven calculation
   • Added logic to override asset class to AssetClassOption when option data is present
4. internal/ui/component/watchlist/row/row.go: Extended display logic to show option-specific fields including premium
5. internal/asset/asset_test.go: Added comprehensive tests for option functionality
6. README.md: Added documentation with example configuration

Configuration Example

groups:
  - name: option_group
    options:
      - symbol: AAPL
        strike_price: 150.00
        type: put
        premium: 3.50
        contracts: 2
      - symbol: TSLA
        strike_price: 250.00
        type: call
        premium: 15.00
        contracts: 1

Testing

✅ All 21 asset tests pass including new assertions for asset class
✅ All test suites pass (19 suites)
✅ Build successful

Original prompt

Add ability to track options. It should track ticker symbol, strike price, option type (put, call), premium, number of contracts.

group config should look like:

• name: option_group
  options:
  • symbol: AAPL
    strike_price: 28.50
    type: put
    premium: 3.50
    contracts: 2

information shown should include:

• breakeven price
• strike price
• diff to strike price

@copilot I don't see the new fields in the output.

I have them setup as options in the config

Fixed in commit 354ca7f.

The issue was that the asset class wasn't being set to AssetClassOption, so the UI rendering logic that displays option-specific fields never triggered.

The Fix:
When processing assets with option data, the code now sets the asset class to AssetClassOption instead of using the quote's original class (e.g., AssetClassStock).

What you should see now:
With --show-fundamentals enabled, your AAPL put and TSLA call options will display:

Left column:

• Strike Price: 150.00 (for AAPL) / 250.00 (for TSLA)
• Breakeven: 146.50 (for AAPL) / 265.00 (for TSLA)

Bottom left:

• Diff to Strike: Shows current price minus strike price

These fields replace the generic "Prev. Close:" and "Open:" that would normally show for stocks.

The fix has been tested with:

• ✅ All 21 asset tests passing (including new assertions for asset class)
• ✅ All 19 test suites passing
• ✅ Build successful

@copilot I want to add the premium to the output for options below Diff to Strike

@copilot I want to add the premium to the output for options below Diff to Strike

Added in commit 07445a6.

The premium now displays below "Diff to Strike" in the bottom left section when viewing options with --show-fundamentals enabled.

Display format:

Diff to Strike:   [value]
Premium:          [value]

For your configuration, you'll see:

• AAPL put: Premium of 4.70
• TSLA call: Premium of 6.50
• NVDA put: Premium of 3.40
• CRCL put: Premium of 2.00

The premium value matches what you configured in your YAML file and is displayed in the same two-line format used for other option fields.
