Futures, Options and Volatility
Futures markets on their own, while very liquid, allow traders only to speculate directly on the price. When it comes to hedging, futures allow only static freezing of the dollar value of the bitcoin portfolio. Options are necessary for those who want to protect themselves from downside risk, while keeping the profit potential of their coins. In addition to that, options allow profiting from both upsides and downsides simultaneously – in other words, to trade Bitcoin volatility, in addition to trading the price.
We have prepared a few tutorials on our products:
- general futures and options guides,
- short intro to volatility trading, and
- info on how to hedge your BTC with short futures positions and by buying put options.
Security Features
Quedex was built with ultimate security as a goal, employing a unique risk management system which employs balancing auctions as a protection against market manipulations, cascading margin calls and flash crashes. Traders’ funds are held in 100% cold storage wallets secured with multi-sig technology, requiring physical access to the signing devices of multiple parties to withdraw any funds.
All the traffic between the client and the trading engine is protected by end-to-end PGP encryption with authentication based on private-public key digital signatures, a concept that protects Bitcoin itself.
Live Beta
We are currenlty in the live beta phase, but the platform is fully operational, bitcoin deposits and withdrawals are possible and full trading functionality is available. We strive to constantly improve the user experience and regularly add new features to the platform.
Meanwhile, our liquidity is increasing and we have contracted market makers who provide stable liquidity for both futures and options. In case you need additional sizes, let us know at contact@quedex.net and we will pass your request to the market makers who can provide adequate liquidity for you in all instruments.
