Summary

This guide explains how to use FMZ to access cryptocurrency options on Deribit, OKX, Huobi, Bybit, Aevo, and Gate.io. It describes selecting an options contract, retrieving market data, placing and canceling orders, checking positions, and finding contract specifications. The contract naming examples show how exchange formats can encode the underlying asset, expiry, strike, and call or put type.

The guide also notes differences in settlement and collateral for Huobi options: buyers pay premiums in USDT, while sellers post margin in either coin or USDT depending on the option type. It is an API usage overview rather than a trading strategy or comparison of exchange economics. Contract formats and supported venues may change, so the examples should be treated as platform-specific guidance rather than a complete or current market reference.

Key ideas

  • FMZ uses contract selection to direct market data and trading operations to an options instrument.
  • Supported exchanges use different option symbols, so contract formats must be interpreted per venue.
  • Trading operations include order placement, cancellation, and position queries.
  • Huobi option collateral and premium currencies vary by call or put type.
