Investor Notice:
The innovative digital financial derivatives options trading (hereinafter referred to as "Innovative Options Trading") service provided by the OKG trading platform (hereinafter referred to as "the Platform") carries certain risks. Therefore, users must carefully read and agree to this agreement before activating and using the Innovative Options Trading service. Your use of this service will be deemed as your full understanding and agreement to this agreement and the risks of Innovative Options Trading.
Foreword
This agreement aims to disclose the investment risks of innovative digital asset options trading to investors and to help investors assess and determine their own capabilities. Given the inherent investment risks, investors should carefully read this agreement before engaging in any innovative options trading. They must ensure they understand the nature and rules of the innovative options trading and decide whether to participate based on their own investment experience, objectives, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Investors should consult financial, legal, and other independent professional advice before applying to conduct innovative options trading.
Innovative Options Design Concept
Innovative options trading is a novel financial derivative for hedging digital asset risks. It is characterized by simplicity, flexibility, and high operability, providing investors with a new type of digital asset risk hedging product.
Investors can utilize innovative options trading to execute trades in a specific direction with limited and controllable risk exposure. With a clear expected return, innovative options trading simultaneously offers trading diversity and multiple potential returns. Each time an innovative option is purchased, the investor also clearly knows the amount of potential profit.
As is well known, digital assets are financial derivatives with extremely volatile prices. Currently available hedging financial derivatives, such as futures contracts, are limited by factors such as fairness, trading volume, and time costs, and cannot fully hedge against the risks arising from the price volatility of digital assets.
Innovative options trading not only possesses the risk management and portfolio advantages of the nonlinear profit and loss structure of traditional financial market options trading, but also incorporates the characteristics of digital assets, providing investors with comprehensive professional risk management strategies in high-risk markets.
Innovative Options Trading Rules
1. Innovative options use prices from five globally renowned digital asset exchanges to generate the corresponding currency's token price. The index composition and weighting are as follows:
Exchange Platform | Weighting Percentage | Benchmark Unit
Binance | 20% | USDT
Kraken | 20% | USD
Okex | 20% | USDT
Huobi | 20% | USDT
Coinbase | 20% | USD
2. The token price is valid only if there are at least three exchanges with valid weighting; otherwise, it is considered invalid. This platform will periodically adjust the index composition and weighting based on real-time trading data from the five major exchanges to ensure data validity and fairness, and will publish adjustments through announcements. Note: Any changes to the index composition and weighting of the marked price in innovative options trading will be announced publicly on this platform.
3. Due to the lack of uniformity in price precision among the five major exchanges, the system has agreed on the price precision of options products. If the price precision of a particular exchange differs from the system's agreement, a rounding-off method will be used. For example, the price precision of BTC options is two decimal places. If a price on a particular exchange is 9000.1234, then after processing, the price used in the effective calculation will be 9000.12.
4. Current option terms: 30-second, 60-second, 3-minute, 1-day, 2-day, and 3-day options.
5. Yield:
The expected yield of the option will be clearly stated when the investor purchases the innovative options.
Users can hedge market risk as needed, provided they have a predetermined expected rate of return.
For example: Purchasing a 100 USDT 5-minute BTC bullish option with a 70% return, and if the option settles at a higher price, the profit will be 170 USDT (including the principal).
6. Settlement Time: The option's daily settlement begins at 00:00 GMT.
For example: A 1-minute option starts at 00:00:00, and settles at 00:01:00, and so on.
7. Purchase Time
For example: A current 1-minute option starts at 00:30:00, and settles at 00:31:00, and so on.
8. Handling of Abnormal Situations: If data acquisition fails due to network delays or interruptions, data anomalies from third-party exchanges, or data calculation errors occur due to trading system malfunctions, the options trade may fail to settle. You understand and agree that options trades affected by the above situations will be deemed invalid, and the digital assets used to purchase the aforementioned options will be returned to the user's trading account free of charge.
9. Amount Limits: Each cryptocurrency has minimum and maximum purchase limits. Specific amount limits are subject to the actual trading page.
10. Settlement Results: OKG Exchange will settle on May 28, 2020. From 00:00 (GMT+8), the following criteria for determining the settlement of innovative options trading will be implemented:
Deliverable Options Call Option Put Option
30S |Increase|>0.005% |Decrease|>0.005%
60S |Increase|>0.03% |Decrease|>0.03%
3M |Increase|>0.04% | Decrease| > 0.04% 24H | Increase| > 0.05% | Decrease| > 0.05% 48H | Increase| > 0.06% | Decrease| > 0.06% 72H | Increase| > 0.07% | Decrease| > 0.07% Currently, the innovative options trading options can be selected as call or put. After this adjustment to the judgment criteria, the judgment criteria for price increases, decreases, and flat rates will differ for different delivery periods. Please refer to the table above.
Bullish: The price of the corresponding currency pair at the time of settlement must increase relative to its opening price, and the absolute value of the increase must exceed the percentage shown in the table.
Putty: The price of the corresponding currency pair at the time of settlement must decrease relative to its opening price, and the absolute value of the decrease must exceed the percentage shown in the table.
Note: Options purchased before the implementation of this new standard will still be settled according to the original rules.
