He emphasizes the risks of options trading and advises viewers to learn before trading. ### Key Points - **Introduction to Options Trading in Crypto** [00:05] — The video aims to teach how to trade options in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, including chart analysis, stop loss, and target setting. Trading is risky; learning is essential. - **Using Delta Exchange App** [01:07] — The presenter uses the Delta Exchange app, with an account already set up. A link is provided in the description for account opening. - **Selecting Options Trading** [02:05] — In the app, navigate to the market section and select 'Options' instead of 'Futures' to trade options. - **Understanding Option Chain** [02:21] — The option chain interface shows strike prices. The middle value is the current market price. Call side for upward trades, put side for downward. - **Chart Analysis for Trade Direction** [03:15] — Analyze the chart to predict market movement. If expecting upward movement, buy call options; if downward, buy put options. - **Selecting Strike Price** [05:24] — In the option chain, lines indicate OTM (cheaper) and ITM (expensive) options. Buying OTM has higher loss risk; ITM offers quick profits but also quick losses. - **Placing a Buy Order** [06:29] — Choose the buy option, select market price, decide investment percentage (e.g., 75%), and place the buy order. Review liquidation price and fees. - **Monitoring Trade and Setting Stop Loss/Target** [07:24] — After placing the order, monitor the portfolio for P&L. To set stop loss and target, use the TPSL option. Example: stop loss at 120, target at 200. - **Risks of Options Trading** [10:44] — Options trading has fast time decay, leading to quick profits or losses. The presenter considers futures trading safer as it allows long-term holding. - **Stop Loss Hit Example** [11:10] — The market moved down, hitting the stop loss. Placing stop loss limits losses; without it, one could lose all money. ### Conclusion Options trading in crypto can be profitable but is highly risky due to time decay. Always use stop loss and learn thoroughly before trading. The presenter suggests futures trading as a safer alternative. ## Transcript new video of our trading.

So today we are going to teach by doing option trading and in tomorrow's video I will teach you how to do future trading. Friends, here first of all you can see that here I take this phone in my hand. Now you can see that there is no market option here. Ok? A market option is visible. So we have to click on the market option. Now as soon as you click on the market, you can see here that it is selected on the future option. We have to do options trading and not futures trading right now. That's why we will demonstrate option trading right now. So we will click here on option trading. Now friends, as soon as we click on the option, you will see that many options have opened in front of you. What does it mean ? Let us explain. This interface that has just opened up is called Option interface that has just opened up is called Option Chain. Ok? Option Chain. In this option chain we have to see which strike price is correct. Look at this middle one, what is written here, look at this, it is written, it means strike. Strike means strike price. The price at which the market is running is written here. Friends, if we want to take an upward trade then it is called call side. If we want to take a downward trade, it is called put side. For example, suppose we feel that first of all, look here, this is the chart. Ok? The chart is written here. So here as soon as we click on the chart, this is the graph. The graph will open in front of us. We'll enlarge this chart from here. Ok? Right now friends, we feel that the market will continue to go up from here feel that the market will continue to go up from here and can reach this place. This means that the market will move upwards, so when the market is about to move upwards, the call option is bought. If we feel that the market may fall from this point then we have to sell there. That means to sell, we have to buy the put side. Ok? So suppose we feel that the market will go up from here, then what will we do? From here we will take the call side trade. But friends, it is not so easy to judge where the market will go. To judge this, one has to learn a lot of trading and that is why I am teaching trading absolutely free. And if you want to learn, then subscribe to the channel and comment in the comment box that Pankaj Bhai, I want to learn trading. Okay friends? Whatever big candle is made here, whether it is a small candle, each candle has a different name. Ok? Each candle has a name. And if you know the name of the candle , which candle makes the market go up after its formation, which candle makes it go down after its formation, then you can make good profit in the trade. But trading is risky. Don't do this without learning it. Ok ? Now friends, from here you have seen the chart. You feel that the market will go up from here. If it goes up then call option is bought. If the price keeps coming down then the put option is bought. Ok? Now let's come back from here and move on to the trade here. If you go to trade giving you the option to buy future. What do we have to do? To trade in options. So again we will come to the market. Is it okay from here? The market will come up and from here, now look, our option chain is on the option, so the option chain is open here, so we feel that the market will go up, so whatever happens here is for call option and the one here is for put option. Now look here, it is written here also call and put. If we click on the call, whatever the strike price of the call will be, it will be revealed. If you click on the put, whatever the strike price of the put is, it will be received. But we have to say goodbye to the call, so here we will show you by saying goodbye to the call. Now friends, there is a line formed here. You are looking at this line, this line. Ok ? Whatever is below this line is the cheaper one, OTM. So this should buy us very little. Otherwise, there is a greater chance of loss. And this one above the line, the more we buy above it, the more expensive it will be. But that much is right for us. If we buy above this line, then our trade will make quick profits and there is also a chance of quick losses. That means, suppose we buy the one above this and we feel that the market will go up, then we will make a huge profit. If we are thinking that the market will go up. We bought a call option but if the market starts falling then we may incur losses very quickly. So what will we do? Now click on this one here. Now look, the buy and sell option is coming here. So we have to let it stay here quietly on the bye. Do n't want to sell. Now friends, see here how much money you invest, he is giving you. Here we will select only on market price. You can invest whatever amount you want to invest, whether you want to invest 100% or 75%, here. Ok? So here, let us assume that we will invest 75% of our money in this trade. Now friends, look here the buy option is coming. Click on Buy. Your liquidation price is coming here. Ok? How much will our liquid go and at what point will we be liquidated. How much are our trading fees going to be? Look, everything is written here. So what do we do here? Now we will click on Place Buy Order. Now see, as soon as we clicked on Place By, our order has been submitted. That means we have taken our trade. Ok? Now friends, look here, if we come directly to the portfolio, whatever profit or loss we have will be visible to us here. This is where we will now place our stop loss and target. Look here is our chart. So we've clicked on the chart. After clicking on the chart, look here, whatever profit or loss happens in the market will be shown to us here. profit or loss happens in the market will be shown to us here. Ok? He is not showing here. But now let's come back and go back to the portfolio. So what's our $3 doing here ? Loss is going on. Ok? It shows up on the charts anyway. The reason it's not showing right now is because we're not here to price this option. There are such charts directly. So we should trade by looking at the chart directly. Ok? We have to come to the portfolio here. We do n't have to look there. There is no problem. But we have to keep reading the chart again and again. You have to keep reading carefully whether the market is going up or down. Ok? So right now the market has gone up a little bit. So we must be making profit here. So here we come to the portfolio. Look, it is almost profitable. Neither is there a loss of $1 Ok? Now look, here it is zero, which means we are neither making any profit nor incurring any loss. So friends, let us see here that to set stop loss target, first of all we have to friends, let us see here that to set stop loss target, first of all we have to click here below. You can see right now our entry price is at $130. Ok? entry price is at $130. Ok? We have an entry at $130. And right now our profit loss here is showing up to $31 in Real CF. Ok ? We are not incurring that much loss. Here I will show. Right now there is no profit or loss. So friends, now we have to place stop loss and target. So to place stop loss and target look at us here is the option of TPSL. We will click on TPSL. Here we have to keep how much stop loss we want to take. stop loss we want to take. Suppose we place stop loss at 100 ah 60 here. In the target we write 200 here. Ok? We will keep it as per our convenience. Now look, the stop PNL is written as $15 and here the exit PNL is written as $15. Ok? That means we will make a profit of $15. But we have also put PNL in stop loss because we have put it above the price at which I bought it. So what do we have to do here? Let's say at least what do we have to do here? Let's say at least we have to put 120. Ok? Now put 120. This means that if I have a loss then it will be only $4 and if I have a profit then it will be up to $15. Ok? Now what do we do from here? Is this confirmation option okay? From here we will click on confirm. Now friends, our stop loss and target have been set. Now look here, we have a little profit going on here. We did not invest much money in this trade. Profit is running around $1 to $1.5. And you can see how much it has increased in percentage. It has increased by about 9%. Now look, profit has started coming in around $3. So, there is a very quick profit in option trading. Losses happen very quickly. And you guys should learn before trading, do not do option trading without learning. Options trading is very risky. I consider future trading better than option trading because in that you are able to hold your trade for a long term whereas in this you do not get the opportunity to hold. Its time decay is very fast. So the chances of loss are higher in option trading. Ok? Now here we come to the chart. Keep looking at the chart again to see what is happening and what is not happening. Look at the chart, the market had gone up till here. Suddenly it has come down. Therefore, our profit which had increased recently has decreased. So, let us assume that here whether we are making profit or loss, we will come to the top of our portfolio. But look, my stop loss was hit before I even got to the portfolio. Because we had kept a stop loss of only $4 here. Right now nothing is showing here because we have suffered a loss. The message had just arrived. Ok? So now we'll come to the chart here. So after coming to the chart, you can see that the market came down a little. Ok? It came down a little and our stop loss was hit. So if you place stop loss in this way then you will suffer less loss. So one should always trade by placing a stop loss. Otherwise, if by mistake the market goes against you, you may lose all your money. Ok? So we placed a stop loss. Here our stop loss is hit. Rest of the friends, now no option of selling will be given here. If the stop loss is not hit, your target is repeatedly achieved , and the market continues to move in your favor, then there will be a chance of unlimited profit. If the stop loss is hit, the chances of loss will be limited, but if the market moves in your favor, there will be unlimited chances of making profit. So this is how to do options trading. Rest of the friends, I think future trading is safer than this. There is risk in future trading also but we are able to hold our trade for long term.
