  Clarify core purpose in README's opening sentence and de-emphasize LLM integration

  Why:

  CURRENT

  A nimble backtesting and statistics library for options strategies.
  
  Optopsy is a Python backtesting engine that lets you go from "How do 45-DTE iron condors on SPX perform with a 50% profit target and 2x stop loss vs holding to expiration?" to detailed performance statistics in seconds, not spreadsheets.

  ## 🆚 Comparison to Alternatives
  
  While general backtesting frameworks like Backtrader or QuantConnect (Lean Engine) offer broad capabilities, Optopsy is purpose-built for the unique complexities of options trading. Unlike these platforms, Optopsy focuses specifically on:
  
  *   **Options-centric Design:** Native support for complex multi-leg options strategies, delta targeting, and options-specific risk metrics.
  *   **Rapid Iteration:** Designed for quick exploration and backtesting of options hypotheses without extensive setup.
  *   **Pythonic Interface:** Integrates seamlessly with the Python data science ecosystem (e.g., Pandas DataFrames) for post-analysis.
  
  Optopsy is not a full-fledged brokerage integration platform but a focused research and backtesting engine for options.
