Flexihedge in a nutshell

You can back as well as lay odds across a pre-set range of:

1. Markets.

2. Price Levels (or 'Strikes').

3. Bet Expiry Dates (or 'Expiries').

Expiry Dates are daily, from Monday to Friday this week, and Friday next week.

Expiry Dates correspond to daily closing values.

The ‘grid’

Flexihedge has devised a unique user interface for betting on financial markets in a peer-to-peer exchange setting.

This is called the grid.

The grid has been designed to help you navigate as quickly as possible.

The grid is your friend.

The ‘grid’

Bet Expiry Dates (or ‘Expiries’) run horizontally.

Price Levels (or ‘Strikes’) run vertically.

Note:

Bet Expiry Dates and Price Levels are pre-set and managed by the exchange.

The Odds grid displays the best odds currently offered in the market.

The Liquidity grid displays the total money currently staked at those odds.

Bet Expiry Dates (or ‘Expiries’)

The Bet Expiry Date:

⇒ the date the market closing value will be used to settle the bet.

These dates are uniform across the exchange.

There are six standard Bet Expiry Dates:

Monday to Friday this week, and Friday next week.

Bet Expiry Dates run horizontally.

Bet Expiry Dates (or ‘Expiries’)

e.g. ‘Monday 2 January’.

if you are betting on Apple’s share price in the ‘Monday 2 January’ Bet Expiry Date.

⇒ then you are betting on what closing price of Apple will be on ‘Monday 2 January’.

It’s that simple.

Price Levels (or ‘Strikes’)

Price Levels:

⇒ the levels you can bet the market closing value will be above or below (on the Bet Expiry Date).

Strikes will vary from market to market.

Price Levels (or ‘Strikes’)

There are 2 strike ranges:

The first strike range is for the 2 Friday's coming (this Fri and next Fri).

The second strike range is for Mon - Thurs coming.

Price Levels (or ‘Strikes’)

Reason for separation:

There is likely to be more price variation in the underlying market over 1 - 2 weeks, than 1 - 4 days.

To account for this, the range of variation is wider in the first strike column.

Single Asset grid vs Multi Asset grid

In each case - Odds & Liquidity - there are 2 styles of grid:

1. The Single Asset grid

2. The Multi Asset grid

Single Asset grid

1. The Single Asset grid

The Single Asset grid enables you to view all expiry dates simultaneously for any one market.

If you’re watching just one market e.g. Apple, then the Single Asset grid will probably be more helpful to you.

⇒ it will provide the full picture on the exchange in a single screen view.

Single Asset grid: one market / all expiries on show

Multi Asset grid

2. The Multi Asset grid

The Multi Asset grid enables you to view up to 5 markets simultaneously but for each market, only one expiry date at a time.

If you’re watching multiple markets simultaneously, then you may find our Multi Asset grid more helpful.

⇒ it saves you navigating back and forth each time.

Multi Asset grid: upto 5 markets / one expiry each
