is there anyone interested on something like this ?

zhoutong can/want to provide a position API for a external service like this ?

Bitcoinica already has an API... all you need to do is offer options and hedge them on Bitcoinica.

that api require user password is not safe to give your password and user name to a 3rd party

Using your logic, it would also not be safe to trust bitconica / zhou with your Bitcoin or USD.

Why not just buy options on http://polimedia.us/bitcoin/options.php if you're vulnerable to big swings in one direction or the other? The only issue I can see with it is that mircea's site operates on a daily average, which might not get you compensated for extreme swings that will nonetheless cause forced liquidations.
