You were right about BTC going up… BUT YOUR OPTIONS TRADE STILL LOST. Why? 🧐

Because getting the direction right is only part of the trade.

Two things can still decide the result: your strike and your expiry.

🔹 Strike/Breakeven Price — the price level your trade is measured against.

Example:
BTC is at $60,000 and you placed a trade betting that Options will go up with a $62,000 strike.
BTC can go up to $61,500 — and you were right about the direction — but it still did not reach your strike.

🔹 Expiry — the time your trade ends.

Example:
You think BTC will rise this week, but choose a 1-day expiry.
BTC rises on Day 3, exactly as you expected — but your trade already ended on Day 1.

That’s how you can be right about the market, but wrong about the trade.

Getting these two things clear helps you choose a trade that actually matches your market view — instead of losing because of the wrong strike or expiry.
