You can trade Up/Down options on the Deriv Trader, SmartTrader, and Deriv Bot trading platforms. They are available to trade on forex, stock indices, commodities, and derived indices.

To open an Up/Down contract, you’ll need to:

• – Select your preferred market and trading asset.

• – Choose the type of Up/Down option you want to trade (Rise/Fall; Rise Equals/Falls Equals; Higher/Lower).

• – Set other optional contract parameters.

• – Choose the contract duration.

• – Enter your stake or preferred potential payout amount.

• – Open your contract.

Up/Down options are divided into two types:

Rise/Fall contracts, where you make a market prediction on whether your contract’s exit price has risen or fallen by the end of the contract period. If you trade with the Allows Equals requirement, you’re predicting that the contract’s exit price can also be equal to the entry price.

Higher/Lower contracts, where you set a barrier before opening your contract and make a market prediction on whether the underlying asset’s price is higher or lower than the predetermined barrier at the end of the contract period.

However, it is important to note that the availability of early exit may vary depending on the specific trade type. Some trade types may have restrictions or they may only be available within a certain timeframe.

The potential payout is predetermined based on the specific details of the trade and if your market predictions are right.

For Rise/Fall contracts, potential payouts generally range from 85% to 95% of your stake.

For Higher/Lower contracts, potential payouts can range from 1% to 3,900% of your stake, depending on where the barrier is set.

The potential payout and potential loss (your initial stake) will be displayed before you enter the trade.

A Higher/Lower contract is typically a Rise/Fall contract with an adjustable barrier that can be applied before purchasing the contract. For example, in a “Higher” contract, the further away the barrier is from the current market price, the higher the potential payout, and vice versa for a Lower contract.

• – Recent price swings and market volatility

• – Economic news and events- Trends revealed by using technical indicators.
