How Options Work

Options give you the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price before expiry.

Call Options

A call option gives you the right to buy BTC or ETH at a fixed strike price before the expiry date. You profit when the asset price rises above your strike price plus the premium paid.

Example: Buy BTC $100K Call (Dec 2026) for $3,200 premium. If BTC reaches $110K, your profit is $6,800 (less premium).

Put Options

A put option gives you the right to sell BTC or ETH at a fixed strike price before expiry. You profit when the asset price falls below your strike price minus the premium paid.

Example: Buy BTC $90K Put (Dec 2026) for $2,800 premium. If BTC drops to $80K, your profit is $7,200 (less premium).

Greeks

The Greeks, plainly explained

Five numbers that describe how every option moves. Know them, and you'll never be surprised by a P&L swing.

Delta

How much the option price moves per $1 move in the underlying. Direction exposure.

Δ ≈ 0.52
Matters when: picking calls vs puts or hedging a directional book.

Gamma

How fast delta changes. High gamma = rapid P&L acceleration near the strike.

Γ ≈ 0.0032
Matters when: near expiry and near ATM — scalping gamma.

Theta

Daily value lost to time decay. The cost of holding an option overnight.

Θ ≈ −$38/day
Matters when: long options approaching expiry.

Vega

Sensitivity to a 1-point change in implied volatility. IV collapses wreck Vega-long trades.

V ≈ $64
Matters when: trading around CPI, FOMC or earnings events.

Rho

Sensitivity to a 1% change in risk-free rate. Usually the smallest Greek in crypto.

ρ ≈ $9
Matters when: holding long-dated LEAPS-style options.
