I was short the physical. Then around the bottom yesterday I uttered the magical phrase "I'm not covering" and it immediately started to recover.

NADEX has Bitcoin binary option trading now. I shorted a 702 bitcoin weekly binary option earlier this week ahead of the brexit vote. This will pay off nicely as it should expire in my favor tomorrow since it's already so deep in the money at this point, but anything can happen.

How's it looking now?

Still looking good. Today is expiration day and we are still well below 702

Since @Neo1 asked, it settled in my favor. I risked 40 to make 60.
