Title: FTX BTC options ??? Post by: somac. on February 13, 2021, 12:28:50 AM Does anyone know if FTX has BTC options? some websites say they do but I can't see anything in their platform ???
EDIT: I think I found it under what is the stupidist designed menu I have seen. That menu being the 4 squares next to the FTX log in the top left corner. That is some shitty UX design right there, a hamburger menu would have even been better, and they are kind of shit too. I've only partly found it though, I can't see in options tables with strike prices etc, does anyone know where they are? Title: Re: FTX BTC options ???

Are you talking about the order book? Well, you won't find it like that on FTX. FTX Options don't work on orderbook model, instead they work on 'Request for Quote' (RFQ) model. So, you will see something like the following image on Options page: https://i.imgur.com/EbqPUve.png You can click 'Request Quote' and place your order. You can manually customize your order - Put/Call, Strike Price, Expiry Date, Limit Price and Buy/Sell. Then, your request will go under 'My Request' section and within few seconds, you will start seeing quotes from the other users under 'Best Quote (per contract)' column. It's up to you if you want to accept those quotes or let them go. For example, If I place request for the Buy Call Option of 1 BTC at the strike price of $48K for tomorrow midnight, I will start receiving quotes after few seconds under 'My Request' section. Suppose, I get the quote of $400. I can accept that and have to pay $400 for the option upfront. Then, if bitcoin goes above $48,400 at the midnight tomorrow, I will end up in profit otherwise I will bear the loss (could be between $1-400). Alternatively, you can make quotes for the requests others have placed under 'All Requests' section if you see any. But note- you will play opposite party as to 'Option Type', consider that while making quote. Title: Re: FTX BTC options ???

A very different system to anything I've seen before but I'll give it a shot and see how it goes. Thanks again. Title: Re: FTX BTC options ???

- FTX BLL / BEAR tokens fraud at Binance (https://scambinance.com/fraud-with-bull-bear-tokens-on-binance/) - Fraud with the signed NDA Agreement (https://scambinance.com/fraudulentndas/) - Binance and FTX - serving U.S. citizens publicly using Barry Silbert as an example (https://scambinance.com/investigations/130-binance-and-ftx-serving-us-citizens-publicly-using-barry-silbert-as-an-example.html) Title: Re: FTX BTC options ???

In an interview with Decrypt, founder Sam Bankman-Fried explained this step by the need to increase flexibility and the difference in business management styles. https://decrypt.co/76584/ftx-ceo-sam-bankman-fried-why-bought-out-binance-investment-shares-exit |
