Binary Options Mechanics
Binary options are financial contracts where you predict whether the price of an asset will end up higher or lower than the current price (strike price) at a specific expiration time.
Strike Price & Expiration
Strike Price: The price of the asset at the exact moment you enter the trade.
Expiration: The duration of the trade. If you select a 1-minute expiration, the trade closes exactly 60 seconds after entry.
Call (Buy): You predict the price will end up higher than the strike price at expiration.
Put (Sell): You predict the price will end up lower than the strike price at expiration.
