4. Trading Guidelines
Mobile app version: When a user buys an option, the strike price reflects the current market index. In this case, they only need to select the product expiration date (minimum five minutes, maximum six months), option type (call/put), and fill in the quantity to quickly purchase American standalone options.
Currently, users can buy options for BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, and DOGE/USDT.
Website version: Currently, options for BTC/USDT are supported. Users can set the exercise price and product expiration date independently.
As shown in the figure below, client A predicts that BTC will exceed USD 52,000 on September 4, 2021, but when it will peak, so he/she spends USD 201.896 to buy a call option of 1 BTC. On September 4, if the spot price of BTC is higher than USD 52,000, then the user’s net profit is the BTC index at expiration - exercise price 52000 - premium 201.896. If the BTC spot price at expiration is less than USD 52,000, the option will expire with no money returned to the user, and the user only loses the option premium of USD 201.896.
5. Settlement rules (in USDT)
If the settlement price is more than the strike price, the expected exercise return = the quantity * (settlement price-strike price).
If the settlement price is less than the strike price, the expected exercise return = the quantity * (strike price-settlement price).
Note: The product can be exercised before the expiration date. If the product is not exercised before the expiration date, the settlement will be carried out automatically in accordance with the system rules. In other cases, there is no refund.
For example:
If the current BTC price is US$48,600, client A is bullish on BTC and believes that “it will be higher than 50,000 in one day, so he/she buys an American call option for 1 BTC (with a strike price of 50000) that expires in one day.
Scenario 1: If the liquidation price/expiration settlement price is $49,500, the estimated exercise return = quantity * (exercise price-settlement price)=1*(50000-49500)=500
Scenario 2: If the liquidation price/expiration settlement price is greater than US$50,000, assuming that it is US$50,500, the estimated exercise return = order quantity* (exercise price-low exercise price)=1*(50000-49000)= 1000
