If you are a trader who loves perps, then you are gonna love Option Scalps.

They are more cost-efficient for quick trades, with no closing fees.

Or if you love providing liquidity, Option Scalps offer you NO DOWNSIDE!

A thread on @dopex_io new product & trading competition🧵
1️⃣What is Scalping?

In scalping, you speculate on directional volatility in short time frames.

Positions can be taken in:

🔷Long-price⬆️
🔷Short-price⬇️

Since short time frames allow less volatility, scalpers may choose to leverage positions to amplify their returns/losses.
2️⃣What are Option Scalps?

Option scalps are constructed as isolated pairs consisting of a base asset(e.g. $ETH)and a quote asset(e.g. $USDC)only.

When long $ETH scalp position is opened,trader deposits $USDC as collateral.

$USDC from the $USDC pool is then swapped into $ETH.
3️⃣Option Scalps

Traders will pay an option premium to the scalp liquidity pool.

Premium and fees are determined by:

•Time
•Collateral size

Higher the time frame and collateral, the higher the fees and premium.

Fees are also less than those on other perp protocols.
4️⃣Example

From this example, you can see how long and short positions work.

If you set a long position at 50x leverage and the price of $ETH increases 5%, your profit is 250%.

But, if you open a long position and the price of $ETH falls by 1% you incur 50% loss.
5️⃣Liquidations

Liquidations are calculated based on:

✅Leverage

If the price passes liquidation, liquidity providers will get the scalper’s $ETH that has been sold and their slashed collateral.

@dopex_io design protects liquidity providers in full.👌
6️⃣For traders📈

Select:

•Token: $ETH or $ARB
•Long or short position
•Time frame-1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, or 1hr
•Leverage-5x to 110x

Traders must post collateral which will be determined by their leverage.

Traders can close positions at any time.🔥
7️⃣For Liquidity Providers💸

You can provide single-sided liquidity for a scalp pool:

✅$ETH for shorts.
✅$USDC for longs.

Scalp LP is relatively risk-off since shortfalls are covered by liquidations and the scalper’s collateral.

LPs may withdraw their liquidity at any time.
8️⃣Benefits-For traders

You may ask yourself “why would I trade on Dopex scalps?”🤔

✅Cost-Efficient: Opening a 1-hour scalp position costs a flat rate of ~0.15% on position size

✅Asset Exposure: Scalps use isolated pools which means any asset that has an IV feed can be traded
9️⃣Benefits-For LP

✅Risk-minimized:
Profit is paid from a relative appreciation of swapped assets-LP collateral does not get slashed

✅Amplified utilization:
Since scalp positions may be closed by traders, utilization may exceed 100%-more premiums earned

Win-win for both.👏

Missing Ordinals and BTC ETF plays cost me several 100Xs.💰

Won't make the same mistake with Runes and $BTC halving.❌

Boost your portfolio 10-100x with new hype on Bitcoin - Runes🧵

Don't fade Ansem⬇️ Image
1️⃣ What are Runes?

The Runes is a new fungible token protocol on Bitcoin.

It aims to improve current BRC20 standard.

It will launch around 20th April at block 840,000

Comparison 👇
Image
2️⃣ Why is it hot?🔥

Inscriptions on @MEonBTC are trending as holders will get Runes airdrops.

If runes are truly sh*tcoins on BTC, people will gamble a lot of money.

Top trending collection is Runestone by
@LeonidasNFT.

Many will screw this bull and miss generational wealth⚠️

If you don't want to make this HUGE mistake learn from gigabrain @resdegen.🧠

Thread about the top 10 lessons from one of the smartest minds in crypto🧵

3rd tip made me a better investor👇 Image
1️⃣ When to take profits?💸

"People have the misconception that profits are risk-free money.

Lol no, that's hard-earned money."

This is mistake I often make and need to work on.

Was really comfy with 5x on $RSTK and in the end sold for only 2x.

How to battle this👇
2️⃣ Overtrading⚠️

"Real money are made with X's, not %'s."

You need to raise your targets in bull and focus on Xs.💰

Leave bear PTSD and selling for 50% behind you.

This picture explains why holders will outperform traders👇

The upcoming bull run can easily be last before regulation kills privacy & volatility⚠️

Reap last massive gains by following @cryptocevo lessons🧠

Legend that outperformed everyone in 2023📈

His top 10 tips to make life-changing money this bull🧵 Image
1️⃣ When to buy & sell?

"Buy when a few wants it."
"Sell when everyone starts buying."

This one is also golden:

"The reason I got in at the bottom was because I never wanted to catch the bottom."

Never try to nail market bottom or top❌
2️⃣ Most hated coins

We know Cevo was one of the few that called $RLB very early.🧠

It was the most hated token in his portfolio.
Yet it outperformed others.📈

#PANDORA did the same for many people recently.

This is common thing in crypto.
Keep an eye on these tokens.👀

1️⃣ Obsession with generating yield

We all love passive income💰

But locking your tokens or chasing high APRs can ruin you.⚠️

That's why a lot of people lost money on UST.

Compound Xs, not APRs.🧠

To make it in the next bull you can't just spray and pray.❌

You need to invest in hot & trendy narratives.👇

Here are 8 promising narratives to help you make generational money.🧵

Bonus ones at the end🎁 Image
0️⃣ Before we start

Before I share narratives and my thoughts make sure you understand how to play these.

Investing in these narratives won't work if you gonna rotate every week.

Select strong picks, hold and stick to it.

Holders will outperform traders especially in bull👇
Image
1️⃣ AI 🤖

I think AI sector will bring most returns in 2024-2025.💰

Because it has the most speculation and that is what drives the price.📈

You can't measure most AI plays because they are still in early phase.

Which is ideal for big upside potential as no one has the edge.

Billions are going to flow into $ETH once ETF is approved💰

LSDs will pump hard📈
But most are already mid/high-cap...😕

However, there is one gem sitting at $6M MktCap💎

A quick thread🧵 Image
1️⃣ Upside potential for $OGV

OGV is currently at $6M MktCap
With ≈ $94M TVL

That's 0,06 MktCap/TVL ratio 🤯

And has $26M in treasury💰

But let me show you the real reason why I'm bullish👇
Image
2️⃣ $OGV buybacks

Last month 29 $ETH were used to buyback OGV.

This number will only increase.📈
Here's why:

Revenue from $OETH is steadily increasing over time.💸

% of that revenue is used for OGV buybacks.

Holders can suggest changes to tokenomics through DAO.🗳️
