Step 6.Choose option products
The website version of HTX Options currently has two types of products, European option spreads and American standalone options. With European option spreads, users can customize the exercise price range at a lower cost. With American standalone options, users only need to set one strike price. Overall, American standalone options feature transaction flexibility, early exercising, and unlimited benefit at lower costs.
European option spread: limited profit potential at a lower cost
As shown in the figure: Even if the increase of the BTC contract index exceeds the high exercise price of 48,500, the user can still only get an income of 1000 USDT (the high exercise price of 48,500 - the low exercise price of 47,500), with the net profit equaling income minus expenses payable.
American standalone option: unlimited profit potential at a higher cost (compared with European option spread)
As shown in the figure: When the increase of the BTC contract index exceeds the exercise price of 48,500, the excess represents the user's income, with no upper limit. Besides, users can exercise the options at any time before its expiration to lock in the income (income - expenses payable = net profit).
Step 7.Buy call/put options
On this page, users can select the option type/expiration date, set the exercise price, enter the quantity, and click [Inquire]. The system will calculate the premium for the option, and users can click [Buy] to place the order.

Step 8.Confirm payment
Confirm the order information of the option contract, such as the underlying asset, the quantity, the exercise price, the breakeven price, and the premium. The premium is the fee for purchasing the option contract. Click Confirm to pay the option premium. After paying the premium, the corresponding amount will be deducted from the options account. At the same time, the system calculates the breakeven price of the option contract. For a call option, profits can be made when the underlying price rises above the breakeven price. For a put option, profits can be made when the underlying price falls below the breakeven price. Users can exercise options in advance to lock in profits based on the breakeven price.
