Omg send me a bunch, user

Was supposed to say bun*

Google it retard

an "option" is an "option to buy/sell"
a future contract is a contract.

pretty much does what it says on the tin, no?

Thanks OP. Been 8 years without. Now I'm driving to Bushwick.

so if btc goes to 35 tonight i can sell yes?

A future is an agreement to buy/sell an asset at a future date for an agreed price. An option is an agreement that at a future the holder can choose to either buy or sell the asset at an agreed price.

You can also create synthetic futures by buying an atm call and selling an atm put

Fuck now I'm high thanks op

You HAVE to buy/sell future contract at expiry date at agreed price.

With options you do not.

An option is a future. A basic future is an agreement or buy or sell at a future date at an agreed upon price. An option is the same thing except you have the option to buy or sell depending on what’s better for you.

You're welcome what did you get?

Ok, but what the fuck is a put? You cant end sentences with put

An option is you get to decide whether to wage to death at McDonald's or at Burger King; while a future is you skip the choice and just rope.

have you ever heard of the shot put? you are putting the shot. if you did a great throw (put), someone might be like, "wow, nice put."

That's when you put a gun to your mouth.

Google it. An asian elementary student could understand the concept.

Kys drug addict

this seems broken, so i can have the option to buy BTC at 37k, then it pumps to 45k, i buy for 37, immediately sell but had nothing to loose because i didnt buy until it pumped?

You lose however much you paid for the option if the price is

is heroin based?

how much do these usually cost? because this is literally time traveling and seems worth buying even if every now and then it expires at a lower price

Put ~= short
Call ~= long
Theta ~= crab

they are both scammy derivatives
buy spot only

deez nuts in yo' mouth, you must put

The question is why binary "options" are called like that if you are forced to close your position at a certain point in time anyway
