Hi there
Been away for quite long, hopefully everyone doing great here
If by any chance anyone knows if there is a way to buy puts on bitcoin futures?
I have not done my research yet, but i recall despite all this bull run it is very sensitive to regulation and dumps may be very severe out there. So I think this trade may worth a shot in a foreseeable future.

@Jerard as a non-US resident I think you will find you can trade Bitcoin Options in many places. It's a lot more limiting for US residents as many of the crypto exchanges are off limits. While I don't have first hand experience I have heard that Deribit has a good options market. The CME also list options on Bitcoin futures but liquidity is generally poor and at certain times non-existent. Not surprisingly you will find these options to be have very high premiums, but when the market moves 10% every few days that's not surprising.

Any one back to selling ES puts Ron99's style?

I'm not. Even though I have missed tons of money the last 9 months, I can sleep at night not being in crazy, unpredictable markets like we had and are now having.

@ron99 kindly state your safe trade in selling or buying options with hints about pros/cons of both in terms of volatility and etc.
I was about selling straddle for delta below 20 on the weeklies ...seems from your experience as unsafe trade ? So would appreciate your insights to follow it.

I'm not doing options right now so I don't think I would be a good source for current information about them.

Also I am getting close to retirement and my avoiding of risk would be different than others not in my situation.

Thanks a lot @ron99 --
Any suggestions from the experts here about selling or buying options:
I am thinking about selling the weeklies of ES for example and hedge the selling level with buying or selling the underlying. I am new to options as a trading style as I am a futures trader. Kindly share what are the list of strategies that you are trading in terms of this thread context.
