An option trading is a contract that allows (but doesn't require) an investor to buy or sell an underlying instrument like a security, ETF or even index at a predetermined price over a certain period of time. Buying and selling options is done on the optionsmarket, which trades contracts based on securities.
This is one of the most common types of trading in stock market or forex market. With option trading, traders can control and manage risks very well. Applying this form of trading effectively, 90% of you will not lose capital.
In Option trading have 2 options:
– Call Option: Buyers of calls and Buyers of puts
– Put Option: Sellers of calls and Sellers of puts
The buyer of option must pay the seller a transaction fee (option premium)
Sparrow Options give you the power to protect your digital assets through the TradePROTECT product (traditionally called buying an option), or receive Instant Premium on your digital assets through the use of the TradeBOOST product (traditionally called selling an option). Sparrow Options are transparent, customizable, and simple products that aim to bring risk control using options to a wider audience.
In Sparrow, buy an option is tradePROTECT and sell an option is tradeBOOST
TradePROTECT is what we call buying an “out-the-money, European, covered option”. The buyer pays a non-refundable Instant Premium to obtain the right (not an obligation) to trade a particular digital asset at the end of a specified period for a specified strike price. As TradePROTECT is a covered option, this means there is no counterparty risk. It is the ideal instrument to protect digital assets against adverse market conditions.
You pay Instant Premium to buy a right to trade.
You have USDT and you want to buy ETH (currently priced at $ 300). You realize that if it surpass the resistance of 360 $, the ETH will continue to increase. You will set an option to buy at $ 360 (Strike Price = $ 300), select the settlement date of “Settlement Date contract” - for example, 11 days, the amount of purchase = 10 ETH (Amount Protected = 10). You pay Instant Premium to buy a right to trade.
If after 11 days to the end of the contract. ETH breaks the $ 360 barrier and increases to $ 460, you will be entitled to buy 10 ETH for only $ 360. If ETH price is below 360 $, you can buy ETH at market price or no longer buy.
Buy a call option like a conditional Order. When Break price from 360 $ will buy ETH immediately with market price. If the price of ETH continues to increase, it is very good but when meeting Fake Break and the price decreases, our Order has been matched. But with buy a call option of TradePROTECT at Sparrow, we can not buy anymore or buy at current market price (lower than 360 $)
In contrast to buy a call option, for example, you have 10 ETH and ETH are priced at $300. You see that if the price falls through the $240 support, the ETH will continue to fall sharply. You will set buy a put option at the price of $ 240 (Strike Price = $ 240), select the settlement date of “Settlement Date contract” - for example, 11 days, the amount of sale = 10 ETH (Amount Protected = 10). You pay Instant Premium to buy a right to trade.
If after 11 days to the end of the contract. ETH dropped from the support of $ 240 and dropped deeply to $ 140, you will be entitled to sell ETH for $ 240 as a contract. If ETH price is over $ 240, ETH can be sold at market price or no further sale continues Hold.
TradeBOOST is what we call selling an “out-the-money, European, covered option”. This means the seller collects a non-refundable Instant Premium in return for selling the right (not an obligation) to trade a particular digital asset at the end of a specified period for a specified strike price. As TradeBOOST is a covered option, this means the seller would need to pledge 100% of the underlying digital asset. It is the ideal instrument to monetize digital assets when the market is quiet or if you have a longer-term view with short-term expenses to fulfill.
You collect Instant Premium to sell a right to trade.
You are Miner and you have 10 ETH, the price of ETH is at $ 300. If you think that ETH has increased to the $ 360 barrier, you don't want to sell ETH, but you need money to pay for the electricity. You will using tradeBOOST to sell a put option to another person at the price of $ 360 (Strike Price = 360 $), select the settlement date of "Settlement Date contract" - for example, 11 days, the amount purchased = 10 ETH (Amount Protected = 10). You will receive a Premium Receivable amount to pay your electricity bill.
If after 11 days to the end of the contract. ETH goes up to $ 355, you still have 10 ETH and received a premium fee instead of selling ETH at $ 300 to pay for electricity, but if ETH breaks the $ 360 barrier and goes up to $ 460, you are required to sell the ETH for $ 360 because you have received a premium fee to sell a put option to others - the buyer has the right to decide to execute the sell order at $ 360.
ETH is priced at $ 300. You consider that ETH cannot be reduced to $ 240 support, so you using tradeBOOST to sell a call option to another person to get an premium fee at $ 240 (Strike Price = $ 240), choose the date of Settlement Date contract liquidation - for example 11 days, the purchase amount = 10 ETH (Amount Protected = 10).
If after 11 days to the end of the contract. ETH is no less than 240 $, you will receive the premium fee, but if ETH decreases by 240 $ and down to 140 $ then you must buy ETH for 240 $ because you have received a premium fee to sell a call option for others - buyers have the right to make a buy order at $ 240.
