digital trading purchase timing
In digital trading, click the “Buy Time” menu (like in the illustration) on the trading panel and choose your chosen choice to choose a buy time.
Please be aware that the trade expiry period in digital trading is the buy time plus 30 seconds. Your trade’s closing time is always visible on the chart; it is shown by a vertical line labelled “Time to Expiry” and a timer.

change trade amount
By clicking “-” and “+” in the “Trade amount” area of the trading panel, you can modify the trade amount.
You can manually write in the necessary amount, multiply it, or divide it by clicking on the present amount.
strike price settings
You can place a transaction at a price higher or lower than the going market rate using the strike price, and the payback % will alter accordingly. Before trading, this feature can be enabled in the trading panel.
The gap between the market price and the strike price determines the risk and potential payment rates. By doing so, you are able to forecast price changes as well as specify the price level that should be attained.
Use the relevant switch in the lower trading panel above the market price to enable or disable the strike price.
Attention: When the strike price is enabled then due to the nature of this feature your trading orders will be placed above or below the current market position. Please do not confuse with regular trade orders which are always placed at market prices.
Attention: Strike prices are available for digital trading only.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Difference Between Digital and Accelerated Business
A traditional type of trade order is digital trading. The trader chooses one of the predetermined timeframes (M1, M5, M30, H1, etc.) as the “time to buy” and executes a trade during this period. Two vertical lines labelled “Time to Buy” (depending on the given time frame) and “Time to Expiry” (“Time to Buy” + 30 seconds) make up a half-minute “corridor” on the chart.
Digital trading is therefore always carried out with a set order closure time, which is at the start of every minute.
On the other hand, instant trading enables you to define precise expiry times and uses smaller time-frames beginning 30 seconds before expiry.
The “expiry time” of the trade order, which is directly correlated to the time frame set in the trading panel, is the sole vertical line you will see on the screen when making a trade order in quick trading mode. It is, in other words, a straightforward and quick trading mode.
Switching between digital and instant trading
The “Trading” button on the left control panel or the flag or clock symbol under the timeframe menu on the trading panel can always be clicked to move between various types of trading.
