Digital options are called binary options and have a fixed payoff. They are called binary because there are two possible outcomes. A trader betting on digital options is betting something will happen.
The payoff for digital options is known when the bet is opened. Unlike spread betting it does not matter how correct the bet is. Once it happens, it is a winner regardless of what happens next.
For example, a digital option bet is the price will reach $24.91. This bet also has a payoff date of when the price is reached. This bet is a winner as long as this price is hit by the date.
The markets for digital options are many including bonds and stocks. Trading these markets is a good way to expose traders to new markets. This helps gain familiarity with market prices and volatility.
A digital option works by first picking a bet on the exchange. For example one thinks an index trading at 5608 will fall below 5400. One places a bear contract and stipulates the winnings to be £500.
The computer generates how much the cost of the bet will be. Days later the price of the index begins to fall and closes at 5379. This results in a winning bet for the trader and profits are awarded.
In digital options one is betting something will happen or not. If a trader bets it will happen and it does, profits are awarded. If the trader is incorrect, the bet settles at zero and is a loss.
For example, if in the above bet the index closed at 5419 the trader would lost. No additional money is paid for this losing bet as in spread betting. The bettor lost the money put up for his bet but that is all.
Digital trading options lets traders sell the contract back. A trader bet a commodity was going to fall and it began to rise. The trader may choose to sell the contract to limit one’s losses.
Digital options are an easy method of trading to understand. They also have the potential to make good profits as a part time job. For this reason, many traders like to bet a lot of digital options.
