Title: Why not use call Options in a bull market? Post by: vennali on February 11, 2020, 12:32:42 AM If you think that prices will move up, and you want to trade 1 BTC worth of value but do not have 1 BTC, you can buy a Call option and profit from Bitcoin’s volatility.
Why buy Call? Unlike spot trading which requires full collateral, buying a Call option allows you to participate in the movement of an underlying asset for a relatively small price (Premium Payable) while enjoying leveraged returns. Here’s a scenario:
How do I profit?

I know it's a good marketing effort by creating threads regularly to spread and maintain awareness but isn't it hard for you to handle them all? Title: Re: Why not use call Options in a bull market? Post by: squatz1 on February 11, 2020, 03:35:11 AM This is a pretty good and simple explanation of what can happen to you if you're using options.
I'd like to point out to everyone reading this and thinking about using some sort of options, or leverage or anything along those lines. Don't do it, unless you're fully sure what you're getting yourself into. You're most likely going to lose money (if you dont this time, there will be another time and then you'll lose money another time) at some point if you continue to borrow money that isnt yours.

I know it's a good marketing effort by creating threads regularly to spread and maintain awareness but isn't it hard for you to handle them all? Well yeah, that's kinda the intention of anyone that runs a site like this. They're going to make money either way, as they've built in profits for themselves regardless of the market conditions.

This is a pretty good and simple explanation of what can happen to you if you're using options. I agree. generally speaking, Options trading is sort of an advance level or trading but there are platforms dedicated to making it simple. Seems like you've had a bad experience or know someone who did. That's trading in a nutshell. There's always an opportunity to make money but if things don't go as planned, You are likely to lose them as well.

Eh, I think it's more the experience of many that it makes the most sense, in many facets of trading and in Bitcoin up to this point, to just have a passive view of trading. Don't try to get rich on the swings, just buy and HODL. Disregarding the fact that you're giving your coins to someone else to control (BitMex, your company, etc) you're also going to be risking what you currently have -- is it worth it? That question can only be answered by the individual based on their own risk tolerance. I appreciate the response and you are right about all of this being 'trading in a nutshell' cause that's not wrong at all. Many can be made rich from leveraged trading, and many poor, but at the end of the day the people making money are those that are providing the lending of funds. Cool platform though. Site looks nice. Title: Re: Why not use call Options in a bull market?

He just want to shiling his site called "Sparrow Exchange", you can see on the picture was redirect to his website. Funny for making a call/put position for a long times need to paying for that. Title: Re: Why not use call Options in a bull market? Post by: XCANA on February 11, 2020, 10:04:23 AM Do not to serious guys. Thank you for the enlightenment, call option in trade are the most dangerous because, you stand the risk of loosing all your investment, their risk are complex types. They where originally meant for risk management but not when the strategies fail. He just want to shiling his site called "Sparrow Exchange", you can see on the picture was redirect to his website.

Funny for making a call/put position for a long times need to paying for that. Thanks for your feedback, I've removed the link but, I'm not sure what did you expect from a banner for Sparrow Exchange? Yes, You have to pay premium to buy call Options but you see that for 1BTC Call Option, you don't need to wager anything even close to 1BTC. In the circumstances explained in the OP, you can make good profits out of it while risking only the initial premium paid. You could try sell Options, Selling call options can enhance your earnings and mitigate against losses. When you sell a call option, you give the buyer the right to buy your crypto asset at the strike price on the expiry date. You will be paid an instant premium that’s yours to keep. ~snip~ Thank you for the enlightenment, call option in trade are the most dangerous because, you stand the risk of loosing all your investment, their risk are complex types.

It's double risk and if we talk about reward, that could be so high but look at most traders who are suffering to make money through spot trading, how would they use options and moke money with it? Title: Re: Why not use call Options in a bull market? Post by: bitgolden on February 11, 2020, 05:29:45 PM I was thinking you would explain "why not to use" instead of "why we should". You have already explained all the reasons why we should use call options if we want to in a bull market. So, I will just talk about why we shouldn't. The biggest reason is ; maybe you are wrong? You think putting up leverage or buying options and basically trying to make more money with the small amount you have?
Well you can, you can make as much money as someone who buys 1 bitcoin and waits by just using 100x leverage by using 0.01 or even lower if I am not wrong, so yes you could make insane amount of profit with just a very low amount. However at the same time, that gives you bigger risk, normally when you can lose 10-50 bucks from a bad trade, here you lose ALL your money when a slight drop happens.

You think putting up leverage or buying options and basically trying to make more money with the small amount you have? You aren't risking as much as you would in case of Options. You arent supposed to just go all in on 1 trade even if your amount is small, you can space out into multiple trades and react according to market movement and analysis. Some risk assessment is required and for Options, to Protect 1 BTC, you dont need 1BTC. There's inherent leverage on the buy side.Which is another plus point. Also, another advantage of Trading Options is that there's no Slippage.

How do I profit?
Because the risk in futures for crypto is very risky whether a lot of money or not it's a risky prop. If there werent risk in it there wouldn't be a possibility for profit. Puts and calls in a more stable environment like the stock market is risky...months in crypto markets are like decades. Pissing in the wind hopefully the right way Title: Re: Why not use call Options in a bull market?

It helps to understand how puts and calls work from the get go, it's more advanced than just regular trading. Title: Re: Why not use call Options in a bull market?
