Setting the purchase time

To choose the purchase time (time before purchase on the chart), click on M3 (as in the example) on the trading panel and select the time required for profitable trade execution:

Please note that expiration time is the purchase time + 30 seconds. You can always see on the chart when your trade will close - it’s a vertical line “Time until expiration” with an appropriate timer.

You can also type in the trade amount manually.

The minimum trade amount is $1 while the maximum trade amount varies depending on your profile level.
 

Strike price settings

Strike price allows you to place a trade at a price that is higher or lower than the current market price with the respective change in the payout percentage. This option can be enabled at the trading panel before making a trade:

Risk and potential payout rate depend on how much the difference is between the market price and the strike price. This way, you not only predict the price movement, but also indicate the price level that should be reached.

To enable or disable the strike price, use the corresponding switch in the lower trading panel above the market price.

Attention: When strike price is enabled your trading orders will be placed above or below the current market place due to the nature of this feature. Please do not be confused with the regular trade orders which are always placed at the market prices.
