Attention all newcomers to the Zetaverse! We’ve seen a bunch of new people flooding in lately, and wanted to update everyone on how Zeta is pushing boundaries in DeFi options. 🔥 Image
What is Zeta? We are an undercollateralized, fully decentralised futures & options protocol built on @solana and @ProjectSerum . Zeta offers the full derivatives product suite, where investors are able to go long, short, and actively express opinions.

But what makes us special?
The first aspect is Zeta's orderbook. Thanks to @solana's incredible speeds and @ProjectSerum's robust infrastructure Zeta brings the full CeFi options experience into DeFi. Individuals can choose to place bids, asks, trades all in sub-second speed, just as you would on FTX.
The second aspect is Zeta's Options Market Maker (OMM). In order to bootstrap liquidity and democratise yields for all, Zeta has built an OMM pool available to everyone that provides liquidity across options at all times. Our pool minimises IL and maximises yield for all. Image
Third, we also have undercollateralization baked into the entire platform 🥧. For every $1 a user deposits, they are able to trade multiples of that in exposure via our world-class option margining and liquidation system. We make options available to everyone, not just whales 🐳
There are so many more features to mention – an intuitive trading interface, robust liquidation engine... but we won’t have time to go into it all today. Check out our Gitbook for more details! zetamarkets.gitbook.io/zeta/zeta-prot…

So what’s been the progress on Zeta so far? Image
In June, We came away winning the Solana Season Hackathon with our flagship Alpha product! 👑 You can check out our binary options Alpha here 🔥:

We even ran a binary option trading competition featuring @AlamedaTrabucco , @mgnr_io , @kevinrose and @EvgenyGaevoy, where users who beat these traders received the #Zetaverse trading cards... our first Zeta NFT's! Also with amazing rewards from @gopartyparrot and @SolariansNFT
Groundbreaking derivatives infrastructure isn't easy to build, and our team has been working long nights. Get ready to experience the CeFi futures and options experience now on DeFi. An entirely redesigned UI/UX, blazingly fast execution, tight spreads, deep liquidity.
Of course we have to thank the amazing community and the people who have helped every step of the way. Thanks to @armaniferrante @baalazamon @jhl_xx @adrian_serum @austerity_sucks @AlasdGem @jackshaftoes and a whole bunch more we couldn't fit on this thread... ❤️

Perps are a multi-trillion dollar market and the derivative of choice for crypto traders. As the shift from CeFi to DeFi accelerates, and Solana emerges as the #1 chain for DEX volume, Zeta is set to become the next key player in the crypto trading space. Image

1/ What is gamma scalping? Image
2/ Let's start with a gamma refresher before diving in ⤵️
3/ And because gamma describes the rate of change of an option's delta, a little delta refresher won't hurt either ⤵️

What is Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD)?

CVD shows us the cumulative changes in volume traded by aggressive buyers and sellers, respectively, in a given market, over a specified time period.

Aggressive buyers and sellers are defined as those executing market orders.
CVD is often employed by order flow traders seeking to confirm the direction of price movement.

A negative CVD describes a trading period dominated by aggressive sellers, while a positive CVD describes a trading period dominated by aggressive buyers.
CVD sheds light on behavioral patterns being exhibited by buyers and sellers, but it does have its limitations.

It excludes limit orders.

Consequently, it should be viewed as a useful tool — not gospel.

1/ What are ratio back spreads and what can they do for you? 🧵⤵️

A ratio back spread is a long vol options strategy with an alluring risk-reward profile.

The strategy involves selling and buying options (of the same class) with the same expiry at ratios such as 1:2 or 2:3.
2/ The strike price of the long options is further out-of-the-money (OTM) than the strike price of the short options.

Key benefits of the strategy include:

– Unlimited profit

– Defined risk

– Bidirectional profit potential (if established for a net credit)

– Low-cost entry
3/ Whether or not the strategy is opened for a net debit or credit depends on various entry parameters, including:

– Spread width

– Days to expiration (DTE)

– Volatility skew

– Ratio of short to long options (i.e., 1:2 or 2:3)
