Analyze a box spread with K1=100, K2=110, call K1 premium=5, call K2 premium=2, put K1 premium=3, put K2 premium=6, futures price=105, risk-free rate=0.05, days to expiry=30, and all legs having OI of 1000 and spread of 0.5%.

The box spread cost is 0.00 and the theoretical value is 9.92. Since the cost is less than 99% of the theoretical value, the signal is BUY.

Check the liquidity for four option contracts with the following data: [{'oi': 600, 'spread': 0.01}, {'oi': 800, 'spread': 0.01}, {'oi': 550, 'spread': 0.01}, {'oi': 1200, 'spread': 0.01}].

The market is liquid. All contracts meet the minimum Open Interest threshold of 500.

Calculate the margin and execution risk for a box spread with a cost of 10.0 and a strike difference of 10.0, where the liquidity score is 1000.

The estimated margin requirement is 1.0 and the execution risk is Low.

A box spread is a neutral strategy using two calls and two puts at different strikes. Arbitrage occurs when the cost to enter this position is significantly different from the discounted value of the guaranteed payoff at expiration.
