Being right can still lose 👀
A trader can read $HYPE or $SOL correctly and still lose the position if a wick forces liquidation before price reaches the target.
That’s why I think the instrument matters as much as the direction.
A perp keeps the full upside open, but funding and liquidation risk remain throughout the trade.
A bought option works differently because the premium defines the maximum loss and the position cannot be liquidated, although the move still needs to happen before expiry.
Aevo’s Easy Mode makes this comparison easier by starting with the trader’s direction and target before structuring a real call or put.
I wouldn’t use an option for every setup, but when the path worries me as much as the destination, I want both payoffs available before choosing the trade.
