Introduction
A Rise contract is a direction trade. You are predicting that the index exit price will finish above the entry price when the contract expires. Rise is one of the most straightforward contract types and a common starting point for new traders.
What you are predicting
You believe the market will move upward before your chosen duration ends. The platform records your entry price at the moment you submit the order. At expiry, if the exit price is higher than that entry, you win.
Win condition
By default, Rise wins when exit price > entry price. The exit must be strictly higher — an exact tie counts as a loss unless you enable the optional Allow equals setting.
With Allow equals turned on, a tie also counts as a win (exit price ≥ entry price). This option is available on the Rise/Fall order form.
Loss condition
Rise loses when the exit price is equal to or below your entry price (without Allow equals), or strictly below your entry (with Allow equals off). You forfeit your full stake.
What to set on the order form
- Stake — $1 to $10,000
- Duration — 1 to 60 seconds (presets: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10)
- Allow equals — optional; counts a tie as a win when enabled
Rise does not require a barrier or digit prediction.
Winning Rise trade
Entry price: 1,250.50
Duration: 5 seconds
Exit price: 1,250.78
Result: Win — exit is above entry. A $10 stake pays $19.50.
Losing Rise trade (default rules)
Entry price: 1,250.50
Exit price: 1,250.50
Result: Loss — prices are equal and Allow equals is off.
Winning with Allow equals
Entry price: 1,250.50
Exit price: 1,250.50
Allow equals: on
Result: Win — tie counts as a successful Rise.
Tips
- Start with shorter durations on demo to see how quickly the index moves.
- Watch the live chart on the Trade page — entry is locked at submission, not when you first open the form.
- Allow equals reduces risk on flat markets but changes the trade-off; try both settings on demo to see which you prefer.
Rise only cares about the price at expiry, not the path in between. A spike above entry mid-contract does not matter if price falls back before settlement.
