Tool: price_options_live For “what would it cost to hedge this, right now”. Every leg is a real listed contract, named in the answer with its mark, its bid and its ask.

What it answers

The mark is not a fill

Deribit’s mark sits between a bid and an ask, and both are shown. A real fill is at one of those.

The nearest listed contract, named

Deribit lists the expiries and strikes it lists. Asking for 365 days gets whatever is nearest. 285 days in the example above, and the answer names the instrument, so the substitution is visible rather than hidden inside a number.

A quote is denominated in the underlying

Deribit prices an option as a fraction of the underlying: a mark of 0.16362 on ETH means 0.16362 ETH, not sixteen cents. The tool converts it; anything reading the raw API must too, or protection looks three orders of magnitude cheaper than it is. price_options prices from recorded daily data and adds the dear-or-cheap reading. This one is the venue’s own book, and is the right call when the next step is placing the trade.
