Inverse Quotes
Simplified Trading
At Sidepit, we avoid unnecessary complexity by quoting directly in Bitcoin (or SATs). Here’s why this is better:
Examples:
Buy at 100k and Sell at 110k: Profit = 0.09 BTC (9%).
Sell at 100k and Buy at 90k: Profit = 0.111 BTC (11.1%).
Unlike other exchanges, we maintain linear tic sizes and use Bitcoin as the unit of account. This avoids the confusion of conversions into fiat currencies, ensuring clear and consistent calculations for profit and loss.
Why Sidepit Chooses Transparency:
We Educate: Sidepit chooses to educate users to be sophisticated speculators.
We Simplify: We believe in transparency rather than obfuscating complexity.
We Optimize: Sidepit is designed for those who should be trading—not for attracting less-informed speculators.
Standard Futures vs. Inverse Futures:
While academic papers argue for the complexity of inverse futures, we simplify by quoting prices in Bitcoin or sats. This transparency ensures traders understand their positions fully.
