Paradex User Faces Account Lock and Losses After Trading Incident

According to ChainCatcher, a user named Systemic Strategies reported a significant financial loss after trading options with low implied volatility on Paradex. Following these trades, the user's account was locked, and positions were forcibly liquidated, resulting in a loss of $218,922. The user had initially considered reporting an issue with option pricing through a bug bounty program and even sent an email regarding the matter. However, after testing, they found that unrealized profits could not be withdrawn, and Paradex's market makers did not adjust the pricing. Consequently, the user continued trading as usual. Later, the platform acknowledged the pricing error but accused the user of violating trading rules, labeling them as an 'attacker' and refusing compensation.
