We’re excited to announce the launch of lookback options that allow you to “look back” on the life of a contract to determine the payout you’ll receive.
How do lookbacks work?
We offer three types of lookback contracts:
High-Close
Win the multiplier times the high minus close
Close-Low
Win the multiplier times the close minus low
High-Low
Win the multiplier times the high minus low
High, low, and close refer to specific points during the contract period:
- High – The highest point ever reached by the market
- Low – The lowest point ever reached by the market
- Close – The contract end time
How to calculate the payout of lookback contracts
Each trade allows you to define the multiplier for each contract, which will be multiplied with the difference between specific points during the contract period.
For example, if the market has a close of 6,000 and a low of 5,200 over the contract period, then a ‘Close-Low’ lookback contract with a multiplier of $2 would have a payout of (6,000 – 5,200) * 2 = $1,600.
