OKX, a leading crypto exchange and Web3 technology company, has announced updates for September 9, 2023.
The exchange will launch limit orders for options based on implied volatility (IV) and the price of USD at 2:00 pm (UTC+8). This feature will first be available on the OKX website and will be available on the OKX app at a later date.
Traders will be able to place a limit order with an IV value to specify the target price level of their options contract. The BTC/ETH prices of these orders will be continuously updated using the Black-Scholes (BS) options pricing formula, ensuring that the corresponding IVs remain close to the levels specified.
Similarly, traders will also be able to place a limit order with a USD price to specify the target price level of their options contract. The BTC/ETH prices of these orders will be continuously updated using the prevailing crypto index price, ensuring that the corresponding USD prices remain close to the level specified. The BTC/ETH prices of these orders will be updated every 3 seconds in the order book.
In addition, the currency used in options trading has been adjusted. Prices and order/position amounts will no longer be displayed in the local currency selected by traders. Instead, these fields will only be displayed in crypto or USD. The BTC/ETH price index used as the underlying index for options contracts will also no longer be displayed in the local currency selected by traders, only the USD index of BTC/ETH will be displayed.
Traders can continue to place limit orders for options using prices specified in crypto (BTC/ETH). To place a limit order based on IV or USD price, traders can check the “Tracking orders” box on the limit order UI for options.
