What is ETH (Ethereum) Options?

Options is essentially a kind of rights that enables the holder to buy or sells an asset at a fixed price at a specific date (or before the date). Just like the futures trading is a hedging tool for spot trading, so is options trading.

For example, when you plan to buy a house, dealers always offer discounts when you pay a deposit first. After then, when the value of the house drops sharply, you can choose not to buy the house, and your largest loss is the deposit. On the contrary, if the value of the house increases, then you would earn the price spread as profits. This is how options works and the deposit is the premium of the Options trading.

In some ways, Trading ETH (Ethereum) Options is similar to trading ETH on the spot trading market. Both need investors to predict the ETH price in the future, but Options trading supports investor to long or short ETH: Buy call when you expect the ETH price to be bullish, but put when you expect the ETH price to be bearish. If investors buy call, investors would earn the price spread as profits when the ETH price rises; If investors buy put, investors would earn the price spread as profits when the ETH price drops. In short, investors will be able to earn a huge profit with a small budget in this way.

How to Trade ETH (Ethereum) Options?

Now BitOffer ETH (Ethereum) Options supports 7 different time lengths for investors to choose: 7-days, 1-day, 12-hours, 4-hours, 1-hour, 5-mins, 2-mins.

For example, the ETH price now is $200, you predict that the ETH price will probably rise in an hour, then you buy 100 1-hour call options contracts with $20. After an hour, the ETH price rises by $10 (from $200 to $210), when your 1-hour call options contracts settled, you will earn $1,000 as payoff, of which rate of return reaches 50 times.

If the direction of the contract you buy is wrong, you would lose the premium you pay to buy the options contract. Therefore, we can conclude that ETH (Ethereum) Options is a trading with unlimited profit but limited risk. In other words, ETH (Ethereum) Options requires a low budget but allows investors to earn a high profit with low risk. Thus, compared with ETH (Ethereum) Futures, without the risk of liquidation, ETH (Ethereum) Options is much more acceptable for most investors.

The requirement of Options trading is much simpler with the truth that it request 0 margin, 0 fee, and it does not have the liquidation mechanism. With those advantages above, investors will never have to focus on the market movement too much.
