A brief overview on Forex Derivatives
A Forex derivative derives its value from the fluctuations in the currency exchange rates of two or more currencies. You can use these financial instruments for hedging foreign exchange risk and currency speculation. These derivative contracts are settled when they expire on set dates and times. Level01 allows trading of derivatives contracts, and settlement is via the Ethereum blockchain.
The major currencies traded on Level01 are AUD/USD, EUR/CHF, EUR/JPY, EUR/USD, GBP/JPY, GBP/USD, NZD/USD, USD/CAD, USD/CHF, and USD/JPY.

How to create a contract
A) Select your contract’s expiry time and date.
B) Decide on your strike price (and the position you want to take). You will notice that as you choose different strike prices, the winning or losing percentages change in the projected profit calculation section. In this example, we need to invest roughly 73.63% to make to win 35.82% profit at a strike price of 1.16300.
C) Determine your tradeline. You can choose to trade using LVX or ETH. The minimum required amount to trade is 300 LVX. In this example, we have set it to 500 LVX.
D) The last section where Fairsense is located allows you to attract other traders with an incentive to match your contract by enabling you to offer a premium or a discount on the contract. In this example, we chose to leave it blank.
E) Click on Create Contract. You can create as many contracts as you want.
4. At the main menu click on the document icon on the top right-hand corner to view your contracts. You will notice three sections under My Contracts — Created, Matched, and Settled. In our example below, we have created several contracts. You will see the newly created EUR/USD contract on this list.
Note the newly created EUR/USD on this list of contracts.Now, we have to wait for our contract to be matched with another trader. If you happen to change your mind, you can choose to cancel your contract by sliding left on the contract and pressing the cancel button.
5. If your contract offer is accepted, you will see it under the Matched Section.
Click on Matched, under My Contracts.
6. At the designated time of settlement, check the Settled section to see if you have won or lost.
Wins or losses are reflected in your wallet.
