📊 Trading Strategies

Scall.io offers unique opportunities for traders to benefit from price movements and market volatility using perpetual options. Here are three common strategies designed for different market conditions:

---

📉 1. Buy the Dip with Perpetual Calls

Goal: Accumulate exposure at the lowest price possible.

How it works:

• Continuously open Call options at the nearest strike price.

• If the market dips, cancel your existing position and open a new Call at the new lower strike.

• Repeat the process as the price falls to continuously lower your entry point.

Why it works:

• You're always positioned at the lowest available price.

• You’ll be holding the ultimate bottom when the market reverses and enters a bull phase.

• Since rent is tied to Open Interest, each new position is typically cheaper as you move down.

✅ Great strategy for bullish long-term traders looking to catch the bottom without timing the market perfectly.

📈 2. Sell the Top with Perpetual Puts

Goal: Lock in high-value exits in preparation for a market correction.

How it works:

• Open Put options at each new higher strike price as the market rises.

• If the market reverses and crashes, your active Put options let you "sell" the asset at the previous, higher strike.

Why it works:

• You're always covered at increasingly higher prices.

• If the market crashes, you're protected and can profit from the downside.

• Think of it as building a ladder of exits, locking in multiple top points.

✅ Ideal strategy for bearish or cautious traders preparing for a reversal.

🔄 3. Capture Volatility in Both Directions

Goal: Profit from strong price moves in either direction.

How it works:

• Open a Call and a Put at the same strike price (closest to the current market price).

• You only need the market to move far enough in one direction to cover the cost of both rents.

Why it works:

• You're positioned to benefit from volatility, not direction.

• If the market moves significantly up or down, one of your options goes deep In the Money, generating profits.

💡 This is known as a long straddle strategy in traditional options, adapted for perpetual on-chain use.
