Trading Glossary
An asset is the underlying instrument you trade on. This can be a currency pair (EUR/USD), cryptocurrency (BTC/USD), stock (AAPL), or commodity (Gold). Your binary option trade is based on predicting whether the asset's price will go up or down.
A financial instrument where the payoff is either a fixed monetary amount or nothing at all. You predict whether the price of an asset will be above or below a certain level at a specific time. If your prediction is correct, you receive a predetermined payout.
A Call or UP option is placed when you predict the price of an asset will rise above the entry price by the time of expiry. If the price is higher at expiry, you win the predetermined payout percentage of your investment.
The predetermined time at which a binary option trade closes. At expiry, the platform checks whether the asset price is above or below the entry price to determine win or loss. Common expiry times range from 1 minute to 24 hours.
A trade is "in the money" when it is currently profitable. For a Call option, the current price is above the entry price. For a Put option, the current price is below the entry price. An ITM trade at expiry results in a win.
The percentage return you receive on a winning trade. For example, an 85% payout on a $100 trade means you receive $85 profit if your prediction is correct. Payouts vary by asset and expiry time, typically ranging from 70% to 95%.
A Put or DOWN option is placed when you predict the price of an asset will fall below the entry price by the time of expiry. If the price is lower at expiry, you win the predetermined payout percentage of your investment.
The price of the underlying asset at the moment you open a trade. At expiry, the closing price is compared to the strike price to determine whether the trade is a win or loss. Also known as the entry price.
The study of past price movements and trading volume to predict future price movements. Technical analysis uses charts, indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands), and patterns to identify trading opportunities.
The percentage of trades that result in a profit. A win rate of 60% means 6 out of every 10 trades are winners. In binary options, a win rate above 55-60% is generally needed to be profitable, depending on the payout percentage.
