Options Trading A binary option, also referred to as a digital option or a fixed return option, is an option in which payout is determined at the onset of the contract. It pays a fixed amount of cash if the option expires in-the-money, independent of the magnitude by which the price of the underlying asset moves. anyoption™ offers you a 65%-71% payout when the option expires in-the-money, and a 15% return if the option expires out-of-the-money. The option cannot be sold before its expiration.

What is an Underlying Asset?

A commodity, index, stock, currency pair or any other financial asset that constitutes the basis for creating an option.

What is a Call Option? An option that provides the holder with a profit when the underlying asset increases in price compared with the level it was purchased at. In the event that the option expires exactly at the same price, the full original investment amount will be returned to the investor.

What is a Put Option? An option that provides the holder with a profit when the underlying asset depreciates relative to the purchase level. In the event that the option expires at exactly the same price, the full original investment amount will be returned to the investor.

What is the investment amount? The amount of money invested in an option.

How to invest? To invest, you must choose between “call” or “put” options for a given underlying asset. Clicking on the call/put button will open an investment sheet in the same box, where you will be requested to enter the amount of the investment and to approve execution. The selection may be canceled by clicking on “X” at any time before approval of the transaction. Please note that the level keeps updating in the investment sheet.

What return will I get for a successful investment? A successful investment will result in a guaranteed return indicated on the site for the underlying asset that you selected. In the event that the option expires out-of-the-money, you will get a 15% refund of your investment amount.

What return will I get in the event that the option expires out-of-the-money? In the event that the option expires out-of-the-money, your account will be credited automatically with 15% of the original investment amount. For example, if you invested $1,000 in a Nasdaq Call option, and at the time of expiry the level was lower than that at which you made the investment - you will automatically receive a refund of $150.

What is the difference between All Or Nothing Options and anyoption™ product? In some commercial banks, traders can price for individuals a personalised binary option, where the individual can either get certain agreed return or lose all of his/her investment. In anyoption™ the return in case of in-the-money expiry is agreed in advance (65-71%) and on top of it there is a guaranteed 15% refund in case the option expired out-of-the-money.

What is the maximum investment amount? The maximum investment amount for a single option is 3,000 USD (or the equivalent in one of the other available currencies). However, multiple options may be purchased, one following the other, at a higher and basically unlimited accumulated amount. If you wish to purchase options for greater amounts, you will have to purchase an option at the maximum amount of 3,000 USD, and then purchase an additional option, and so on.

What are the levels displayed in the trading boxes? Level - the quoted price for an option of an underlying asset. The level changes and is updated frequently according to different parameters that anyoption™ proprietary algorithms take into account. The levels we present in the trading boxes in our home page are those at which anyoption™ is willing to sell options, and are not the real time market levels.For more details about how expiry levels are determined click here.

What is the expiry level? The expiry level is the level of the underlying asset at the time of expiry of the asset according to Reuters. This is the determining level if the option has expired in-the-money or out-of-the-money. A different expiry level is determined for each underlying asset. The calculation of the expiry levels is detailed here.

What is the expiry time? The expiry time is the time and date at which an option expires.

What is the difference between purchasing options in anyoption™ and buying put and/or call options in the stock market? The options available in anyoption™ are binary options (see definition above). They are different to standard (vanilla) option chains that are offered by stock exchanges. The latter typically have longer expiry dates, significantly fluctuating yields, and can be sold before expiry. Binary options have a fixed return and are offered for different expiry points from the end of an hour to the end of a month.

What is the meaning of the colors for the levels on the trading floor? The colors indicate the direction of trading relative to the previous trading day. Green indicates a higher level than the anyoption™ expiry level for the previous day’s trading. Red indicates a lower level than the anyoption™ expiry level for the previous day’s trading.

What happens if the expiry level of a given underlying asset is identical to the level at which the transaction was made? In the event of expiry at an identical level to the transaction level, the amount of the investment is returned to the customer. For example, if the customer has made a 1,000 USD call investment on Nasdaq at a level of 1,620.23, with an expiry time of 11:00, and the level at the expiry time was 1,620.23, the full investment amount is returned to the customer, and the customer’s account will be credited by 1,000 USD. What is the time zone of the expiry time? The site’s trading hours and expiries time are shown according to your PC’s time zone.
