Details of the Pionex Dual Investment
Pionex Dual Investment uses the option trading idea.
Sell Option/Put
If one person is agreeing to sell a given asset at a given price in the future to another party regardless of the change in the future market price, the seller may enter into a contract for a premium worth a specified amount and retain the right to sell at the specified price and date, while the buyer bears the risk for the asset’s price change.
If the market price rises above the agreed or target price at the settlement date agreed, the seller may decide to forfeit the contract terms and sell at the higher price in the market but will lose the premium to the buyer.
If the market price stays lower than the target/agreed price in the future at the settlement date, the seller will oblige themselves to fulfill the terms of the contract and sell the sell option to the buyer at a higher target/agreed price than the market price. So the risk to the buyer is that they will buy at a higher price than the market price.
Buy Option/Call
If a party agrees to buy a given asset from another party at a certain target price in future at a future settlement date because the buyer fears the price of the asset will go up, the buyer signs a contract for a specified premium amount to retain the right to buy the asset at that target price while the seller bears the risk due to possible price changes.
In this case, the buyer of the buy option can choose to fulfill the terms of the contract to buy at the targeted price in the future settlement date if the market price is higher than the targeted price. So they will buy cheaper and retain the price difference as profit.
Otherwise, they will forfeit the contract terms and buy from the market at a market price that is lower than the agreed target price. In the latter case, the seller earns the premium amount agreed.

How Pionex Dual Investment Works
If Pionex is selling the buy option to traders, the trader commits to buying given crypto at a certain targeted price on future settlement date. The trader thus commits stablecoins like USDT to accomplish the buy and the buying price should be a dip buy.
If the market price is lower than the targeted price, the USDT (or other stablecoin invested) is sold and converted to BTC (or other target crypto involved) and given to the user plus an APY interest in the target crypto.
So the user gets more BTC (or target crypto) than expected because of the APY. Notice also that crypto is sold at the settlement price or market price. If the market price is higher than or equal to the agreed target price, the buy option is not exercised, so the customer receives back their USDT investment plus an APY interest.
Therefore, if a trader is investing in a Dual Investment and the target is to buy crypto at a dip, they should look at the possibility of nailing a market price that is lesser than the targeted price they set. In that case, they will buy lower otherwise they will buy at a higher price.
However, remember that the target prices are decided by Pionex – the seller of the buy option, although the trader can choose from many alternatives.
If a trader is buying the sell option from Pionex – in other words, the trader wants to sell crypto invested in the Dual Investment at a certain price in the future, the intention is to sell it at a higher price than the current market price and earn more in USDT or other stablecoins.
If the market price – which is the settlement price exceeds the target agreed price at the settlement date, the crypto will be sold for the stablecoin. The trader is paying their investment in the form of a stablecoin sold at the settlement/market price, plus an agreed APY interest.
If the market price does not reach the agreed targeted price (higher than the market price), the crypto is not sold. Hence, the trader gets their investment in invested cryptocurrency plus an agreed APY. The sell option flops.
Hence, when selling the crypto, the trader would want to consider a target price that the market price will exceed. But Pionex is the seller of the option and decides the target prices, although the trader can choose from the multiple options available.
