Now, the price we are paying is quite high. At the end of the week, the total value of our crypto portfolio was worth $1,342.42, which is just shy of 13.42% of our $10,000 goal.…

Ethereum price March 4, 2023Iron condors are a popular options…

In this article, I'm going to share how to hedge Ethereum coins with short-selling Ethereum perpetual contracts. One of my favorite investing techniques is investing with covered calls, originally I mastered this trading strategy with stocks, like buying 100 shares, selling covered calls, pocketing the premium - depending on the price at the options expiry, letting your shares get assigned or roll forwards.  Over the years I have mastered applying this options trading strategy to crypto…

Lately, I have been trading 1 DTE options with Ethereum on the Deribit platform. In the past, I have traded quite a lot of Bitcoin and Solana coins (until the November 2022 Crypto Crash) Unlike stock options, trading crypto options might get more complicated, a lot more complicated and I wouldn't actually recommend them if you are a novice.
