Binary Options FAQ

OptionFair offers our traders four instrument types to make the most of your investment opportunities:

• High/Low
• Touch/No Touch
• Boundary
• 60 Second Trades

Target prices are the purchase amount at which OptionFair sells the option. These amounts are predetermined by OptionFair’s market analysis, based on the most current data available. As an example for a High/Low instrument, traders can opt to buy an option above or below the target price, depending on how they anticipate the asset is likely to perform.

Once a trader invests in an option he/she has an opportunity to close the trade early. The window is available from three minutes after opening the trade, to until five minutes before the option’s expiry. Under certain market conditions the early closure feature may not be available it is dependent on volatility and liquidity.

An option which expires “in the money” is one which has met the trader’s predicted market condition as was stated prior to opening the trade (e.g target price). Equally, an option which expires “out of the money” is one that has not met the traders predicted conditions, also known at the moment of opening the trade.

If an option expires at the target price, which is possible for a High/Low or Boundary instruments, your initial investment amount will be returned to you by OptionFair without any profits (or losses).

Alternative version: If an option expires at the target price, or “At the money, the trader will receive his invested amount back without any profit or losses added or deducted from it.

For example If a trader would open a trade for the amount of 100USD, in the case that the option expired “At the money” the customer’s balance will be returned with the 100 USD that he initially invested.

The minimum amount a trader can invest in a single option is usually $/€/£25 (short terms start as low as $/€/£10) or the local equivalent. The maximum amount a trader can invest in a single option is $/€/£3000 (depending on account types and personal limits) or the local equivalent.
