Deribit

Time after time I like to test some new trade ideas, and this time I decided to give it a try and test the so-called cash and carry trade with Ethereum. A cash-and-carry trade is an arbitrage strategy that exploits the mispricing between the underlying asset and its corresponding derivative. The key to profiting from this strategy is the eventual correction in that mispricing. Long story short, for the past couple of years I trade options with crypto on the Deribit trading platform with some…

When I first noticed hashtag #cryptocrash on Twitter on November 8, 2022, I was lightly entertained. At that moment I was holding just some small bits with Bitcoin and Solana on Coinbase and Deribit trading platforms. But things slowly turned out of control and by November 9, 2022, it was already clear what the heck is going on - turned out the cryptocurrency trading company FTX was busted. As we learned during the crash - Binance backed out of FTX rescue, leaving the crypto exchange on the…

Backspread is an advanced type of options trading in which a trader buys more call or put options than they sell. The backspread trading plan can focus on either call options or put options on a specific underlying investment.  I was first introduced to the ratio back spread options by an Italian fellow option traded (Ciao Massimo) a few years ago. I should say I like the theory, but in the practice, I cannot report (yet) significat results. In the past, I had tried my luck with put and call…

Selling covered calls, together with credit spreads is one of my favorite income-generating strategies in the stock market in the form of options premium. A few years ago I decided to test the idea of selling covered calls on cryptocurrencies as well, but things were a bit different like in the stock market. Unlike the stock market where your shares get assigned or called away, crypto options (at least on the Deribit platform) are settled in crypto itself. . In this article I made some…

Hey traders, I've launched a simple bitcoin trading signals chat on Telegram where I'm sharing my bitcoin trades, articles, or funny memes about bitcoin and crypto in general For the trades, at the moment I prefer trading bitcoin futures on the 5-min or 1-hour candle charts on Deribit.

Again, I…

For the past two months, I've been experimenting with trading Bitcoin and Ethereum futures on the Deribit platform. So far I can report mixed success. For most of the time, I was trading a 1-min chart, as it seemed to offer more trades, more excitement, yes it worked quite well, even profitable, but in the end, I always ended up blowing up my account, because of some open overnight trade e.t.c. For now, I can say 1-min candle charts are too noisy. 5-min candle charts take away some noise, at…

Hey traders and crypto enthusiasts! It seemed I have tried it all in the crypto world - from buying and holding, actually mining, lending, flipping, and swing trading. But for about the last month I have decided to try my luck as a crypto daytrader, and to my surprise, I can be profitable.  In today's article, I will share my findings on trading crypto and try to answer a question - how to make at least $1 per day trading crypto and how much actually capital is required. This is not trading…

Welcome to another interesting blog topic series - lately, I've been into crypto futures trading a lot. So far I can report mixed results - yes, the gains are enormous - like I was able to make 189% gain with 100 trades in 9 days trading Ethereum, but meanwhile I also have blown up my account at least 4 times. The losses so far are far bigger than gains. For now, I have decided to give it one more shot - trading Bitcoin futures with 50x leverage on Deribit.   This is not trading advice.…
