Aster options settlement is scheduled for today at 4 PM. Converted at the current exchange rate of 66, 4.16 million tokens will be credited after settlement. From an individual perspective, this is more of a swing trade — after all, it was sold at a relatively high level based on the exchange rate earlier.

But from the perspective of options, this wave is indeed a bit regrettable. The strike price was set at 72, with a contract period of 31 days. The price stayed away from the strike price for the first 30 days, but on the last trading day, it suddenly plummeted and broke through instantly. It seems that such volatility close to settlement is still not very friendly to options holders. Sometimes, the market's rhythm is just so unpredictable.

ASTER-12,86%

Haha, it's that last-second move again, the classic options life.

The last day to break through the strike price—that's the curse of options. Probability theory can't save you.

Well... the strike price of 72 was directly broken through on the last day, and this is the cruel side of options. We're all betting on probabilities, but the market is betting on your mentality. 4.16 million tokens credited, nothing wrong with that, just a bit regrettable about the arbitrage opportunity. 31 days of perfect near-miss, a rhythm that even on-chain data couldn't predict. Honestly, the move of selling at a high position earlier was indeed clever. Swing trading thinking is just a bit better than gambling; at least we can still deceive ourselves into saying it's planned. A sharp drop approaching settlement... haha, the market just loves to kill options traders like this. Anyway, we've seen through everything long ago. See you at 4 PM for the credit entry. Should we eat the chicken or get harvested? The moment to test our reflexes has arrived.

4.16 million tokens received, this wave of the trend isn't bad, but the options part was indeed cut by the last bearish candle. The market rhythm is really unpredictable.

4.16 million sounds good, but this timing is really incredible... breaking the strike price only in the last second, this must be the curse of options.
