Title: options trading
Post by: bosshyip on July 14, 2018, 08:23:49 AM

with BTC rates doing what they do, I guess for any serious business to
start using bitcoin we'd really need option trading.
A business would want to know he'd be able to sell his BTC in say one month
at a known rate.

MtGox says that options are "coming soon", but they are not there.
May be some other exchange wants to fill the niche?

You can practice option trading on the BitMEX test network here https://testnet.bitmex.com/app/trade/XBTUSD.  Just get some test BTC from the faucet and go nuts.  You can use all the test markets available on BitMEX to practice trading on margins with any of those currencies.
