Nothing lasts forever
Well that is what you hope to happen but things don't always go as planned right.
You are only looking at the positive aspects of options trading while there are negative aspects too.
Most of the times the market goes against us and that is what fears us the most.
This fear of loss is what makes me not to try options trading since baring such huge losses is not affordable to me.
And as per the rule, only invest what you can afford to lose.  Wink

Here are some benefits of Options Trading, especially in a volatile market like Crypto:
Leverage and limit risks while getting higher potential returns - Option trading is very attractive for small pocket traders. By taking position in options, one can reduce the cost significantly.
For example,
It's Monday. BTC @ 10k
You buy a put for 1 BTC @ 9k expiring on Friday for $100
[if BTC falls below 9k, you can force someone to buy your BTC at 9k]
Wednesday, BTC flies up to 13k. You won't get stopped or liquidated. You are fine. Keep sipping your cocktails.
Thursday, BTC flies down to 7k. Still not your problem.
Friday, BTC settles at 8k at 4pm Singapore time.
Your profit is: 9k (strike price) - 8k (settlement price) - $100 (cost of premium) = $900
$900 profit from using $100. 9X return.

In the alternate scenario, BTC settles at 20k. Your maximum loss is still 100$.

Works in different market scenarios - One of the key advantages of options trading is the flexibility of changing strats as per different market conditions. There are various strategies for all kind of markets, whether bullish, bearish or sideways

You can hedge your trades to protect them from incurring losses.

Remember, shorting is a dangerous game, why not try options and limit your risks peacefully?  Cool

Your explanation was totally giving me a confusing on my part dude, Honestly, I don't get what you just said in the above..
Just what I understand is when I do trade I analyze the buyers and sellers in chart graph then, when I see that there is a chance
for me to gain I will set the price for buy and sell support, just simple as that.

hi guys, excellent project! 

I would like to ask for a comparison between Sparrow and the other players in the decentralised derivaties market such as Level01, Synthetix, Digitex, SpectreAI, Duo Network and Lever J.  I believe Digitex has a big launch soon and Synthetix has the bulk of the volume.

I think one thing that stop me from trying other options trading is lack of knowledge because all we know that dealing in every crypto activity is very risky. If you don't have enough knowledge you will only waste your time,money and effort because your investment will fall into loss because you don't know how to decide and move about your investment.
Which exactly is the point of this post, by educating traders/crypto enthusiasts about the tools that could help you boost your investment and if not boost, at least safeguard your investment incase of a bearish market by using Options as an insurance.

I got to know this options trading this day because one of the platform/exchange that i use to trade open a simulation for options but i don't really get what is put and call in that options where there is a difference in both price. Another thing that i want to ask if this option is based on bitcoins price as well. Thank you.

Cryptocurrency is volatile, and we cannot expect what kind of value it will give to us. However, still many people are trying to invest in the different coin because they see the potential of each currency that it will provide them with a profit; it depends on the price of the market. Trading is an exchange of money into different cryptocurrencies, this time, this kind of method usually people use to earn money; they are buying a lot of coins for a lower value and wait for it to becomes profitable and sell. Even this kind of process looks like easy still we need to take a lot of knowledge and skills when do we buy and sell to gain profit, not all the time traders can gain a lot of income because of falling of price.

now BTC 7k, wondering if will go lower...
and it did. It was a great time to buy puts incase it was missed. It still seems to be a decent time , especially if you are bearish. There's a chance that we might see 6.6k before any further bull runs.

Good time to make some put options. Remember, Shorting is dangerous for the trading market. Why not get some insurance instead and keep BTC at a healthy level.  Wink

Cheap options! Good time to buy. 0.1 btc contract only $8!!
Yes, it’s really true that we should only buy when bitcoin will be cheap but don’t wait for any more to see the price falling as market use to rise suddenly that's why Better trader now and but some coins as cheap as you can. Holding is the best way to obtain your demanded profit. I mostly wait for that time when the market will again pump and dump so that I will be able to buy low price coins.

The number one that hold my back to buy is the money and short interest of the people. I believe in bitcoin but I need to convince myself and my pocket that I will get profits soon. Though there are downs and up of the market, we should be careful in picking the bottom and selling the top. Remember, volatile days are the morning shift of the whales.

Yeah i'm sure the latest price drops is a strategy by the whales to make people lost hopes and sell their bitcoin with cheap price, then they will pump it hard after the price is too low and they will hold until the halving and the price must be pumped hard. The crypto or bitcoin investors must be have a good consistency with their investation so they won't outplayed by the whales

I would rather not gamble on it. I would instead focus on HODLing and quick spot trading every now and then. Options trading is hard in cryptocurrency due to its highly unpredictable price movements. At least in quick spot tradings, you are only to analyze the prices in the next few days or week at most.

It's a good way to do a trading process and hold some if it nowadays since the market is so cheap and it's a great time to buy those coins have a potential to increase in the future and gain a profit. In trading it takes time as you will monitor it for a long period of time and a possible to search the kind of coin you choose.

I'd like to remind again. This volatility is the reason why I think Trading options is very useful. Especially since now Sparrow has long term options as well. Give you a an extra bit of security by paying small premium to secure your position.
