Boost Your Gains with Option Leverage Option Leverage: A Misunderstood Tool for Higher Returns Many traders overlook the power of option leverage, mistakenly thinking it's too complex or risky. However, when understood and used correctly, options can significantly enhance your returns. Example: • Spot Purchase: ETH is trading at $3,500. You buy 1 ETH for $3,500. • Option Purchase: Buy 1-month 3400 ETH call options for $350 each. You can buy 10 options for the same cost as 1 ETH. Price Increase Scenario: • ETH increases by 10% to $3,850. • Spot Position: Value increases by 10%, from $3,500 to $3,850. • Option Position: Value increases by 10 * (3850 - 3400) = $4,500. • Net return: $4,500 / $3,500 = 28%. Price Decrease Scenario: • ETH declines by $150 to $3,700. • Spot Position: Decreases by $150. • Option Position: Value decreases by 10 * (3850 - 3700) = $1,500. Your option trade delivered a superior return thanks to the amplified leverage options offer. Unlock the power of leverage with PowerTrade options today. Maximize your returns. Trade options.
