FAQ

A binary option (sometimes known as a digital or fixed or exotic option), is one that offers a fixed return predetermined at the onset of the contract.

A binary option will always offer a fixed return. OptioNet typically returns 70-89% when an option expires “in the money” and typically refunds 0-15% when an option expires “out of the money”. On an invested sum of $100  an expiry “in the money” will return $170-$189 to the client. Should the option expire “out of the money” then OptioNet will refund $0-$15.

OptioNet is offering Binary Options on various internationally traded financial assets including currencies, indices, stocks and commodities. See Asset Table.

OptioNet currently offers three instrument types:

• High/Low
• One Touch
• Boundary

For a fuller explanation of how to trade these instruments see the Trader Basics page.

The target price (sometimes referred to as strike or purchase price of an option) is determined by OptioNet based on live pricing feeds supplied by the Data Provider. The price represents the price at which OptioNet is willing to sell the option. Customers may buy an option on either side of the target price depending upon the way that they determine the asset is likely to move in the market.

The expiry time is the time and date that an option expires. The expiry time displayed to clients automatically adjusts according to the time zone of client.

Purchased options may be closed prior to the normal expiry time of the option up to the “no more trades” time. Closing an option is available within several minutes from the purchase time. (Note Close functionality may not be active at all times and for all options).

The expiry level calculated by OptioNet is based on real market bid, ask and last prices provided by the Data Provider at the time of expiry of the option. The expiry level determines whether the option has expired “in the money” or “out of the money”. The expiry calculation formulas are explained fully in Expiry Calculation.

An option which expires “in the money” is one which at expiry the condition on the option is fulfilled. The following are examples of options expiring “in the money”.

• A High/Low instrument where a high option expired above the target price or a low option that expired below the target price.
• A One Touch instrument where a touch option expired due to the target price being reached or a no-touch option where the expiry time was reached without the target price being reached.
• A Boundary instrument where an inbound option expired between the target prices or an outbound option which expired below the lower target price or above the upper target price.

An option which expires “out the money” is one which at expiry the condition on the option is not fulfilled.

This scenario (possible for a High/Low or Boundary Instrument) is referred to as “at the money” expiry. In such a case 100% of the initial investment will be returned by OptioNet to the customer.
