What is a Binary Option?
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%-80% payout when the option expires in-the-money. The option cannot be sold before its expiration.

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 the 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.
Close
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.

In some commercial banks, traders can price for individuals a personalized 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 (65-80%).

I tried to invest an amount for a single option, but received an error message telling me I exceeded maximum investment amount. What should I do?
The maximum investment amount you see is predicated upon various factors. 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, 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 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

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.

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.

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.
Close
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.
