Why NVDA needs ticker-specific lookup

High-volume single-stock options can have many short-dated cycles, but the exact available dates still belong to listed-contract data.

A research system should separate the monthly May 15 cycle from weekly candidates before analyzing open interest, spreads, or post-earnings behavior.
