What this means if you trade it
The median BTC window moves 7 bps from strike to close, and 19% of windows are decided by less than 2 bps, effectively a coin flip in the last seconds. The contract price you pay should reflect that: at 70ยข you need to be right 72% of the time after fees, and no 15-minute market on any coin delivers that on the noisy windows.
