Let's talk about a heart-wrenching fact: perpetual contracts play with direction, bullish and bearish, and the logic is straightforward. But options? That's something from another dimension.
If you buy a long call, the currency price rises, and as a result, the time value is worn out, the volatility collapses, and you still lose money. The right direction is also in vain - this is the magic of options.
In essence, letting retail investors play this multi-dimensional game is like forcing people who are accustomed to flat combat to play three-dimensional warfare, which goes against trading intuition. Therefore, perpetuality is the mainstream of the market, and options are always a niche game.

Even when the direction is correct, losing money is just ridiculous. Options really are not for humans to play with.

If you go in the right direction, you can still lose money, which is outrageous

Options are really the ultimate form of cutting leeks, and you can lose money if you go in the right direction, who would have thought of this... I'd rather stud perpetuate than touch this thing

Options are used to cut retail investors, and I have seen too many people who are in the right direction and are overturned by the value of time.
