Trading rules

Contract

The other side is other accounts in the pool, not a house book. Your Higher or Lower is a separate stake. Someone else’s earlier entry does not debit your account and does not replace your price.

Demo and the real account do not share one balance. A stake leaves the account it was placed from.

Price and side

Higher means the feed quote at expiry is above your entry. Lower means it is below. The path of the price inside the term is not scored.

Entry and expiry both read the external feed. Settlement uses server time. The browser clock does not close the contract.

Term and lock

The term runs from 30 seconds to one hour. It is not cut short, even if the candle has already moved your way.

Only the amount of this trade is locked, from the click until server expiry. Funds you did not stake stay free. An open stake is not part of a withdrawal.

Payout and tie

The percent is written on the pair before entry and stays fixed for that contract. On BTC/USD it goes up to 90%. On gold it goes up to 85%. FX majors sit lower, and the figure is on the pair card.

Your side at expiry returns the stake plus that percent. The other side leaves the amount in the pool. An equal quote and entry is a tie: the stake returns in full and the percent is not paid.

Accounts

A real deposit becomes available to trade after it clears. Only the free real balance can be withdrawn. Open real stakes are not included.

Demo is funded apart. A demo payout, a demo tie and a demo loss stay inside demo. Virtual funds cannot be withdrawn and cannot be moved onto the real account.

Risk

A binary option can take the whole stake. The percent is the size of the payout if your side is right. It is not a probability and it does not soften a loss.

Day FX and day metals do not keep a quote after the session closes. Crypto, including BTC/USD, is not tied to an exchange open.
