Expiry Cycle Optimization

Mechanism

Expiry Cycle Optimization refers to the systematic alignment of derivative contract tenors with underlying market volatility regimes and liquidity windows in cryptocurrency trading. By strategically selecting expiration dates, traders mitigate exposure to theta decay while capitalizing on specific supply-demand imbalances near settlement periods. This process involves evaluating the term structure of implied volatility to determine the most cost-effective entry for hedging or directional exposure.
