Alright so we have 2 things there
TradeProtect and TradeBoost
Hope i get this right
TradeProtect
If i make a call option at $220 per Ethereum, current Ethereum price is $200, within the expiry date, if the Settlement price is $230, i will earn $10 per Ethereum contract right?
How about TradeBoost?
I don't get how tradeboost work here
It allows us to sell an OTM Options, and why are we getting paid the premium here instead of paying the premium?
Lets say current price for Ethereum is $200
I put the strike price at $220, it allow me "Obligation to sell at $220"
So i am currently having a call/put options here?
Shouldn't putting a strike price above spot price "an Obligation to buy at $220"?
EDIT: Oh, hope i get this right
For TradeBoost, instead of being the options buyer. I am now the options seller?
Kindly help, thanks
Hi puremage111,
Thanks for your interest!
You’re right, TradePROTECT = buying options by paying a premium (can be buy call or buy put) while TradeBOOST = selling options and collecting a premium (can be sell call or sell put)
For your TradeBOOST scenario, where you put strike price at $220 when the current ETH price is at $200. It is a sell call position – meaning you are bearish and think the price will not exceed $220.
You get an instant premium from being an options seller - If it goes above $220, then your option will be exercised, otherwise it will expire worthless. Of course as a seller, you will hope that they expire worthless so that you can profit from the premium.

Alright thanks for the help
So for Sell Call/Sell put options
Lets say current price is $200, Strike price is $220, Settlement Date is 1 week Later
So For Day 2, if spot price touch and hit above $220, the options is closed straightaway?
Or it will depends on the final price during the settlement Date?
Thanks
Another Scenario (For TradeBoost)
Ethereum Current price $200, if i set the strike price at $180, this will be a
sell put options right?
Hence if i wanted to profit from this, i will hope that the price of Ethereum never hits $180 or else my options is close?
Thanks
