Touch

You choose a barrier level. If the market quote touches or crosses that level during the life of the contract, you win immediately. If the barrier is never reached before expiry, you lose.

The index price reaches your barrier at least once before settlement. When that happens, the contract wins and can settle right away without waiting for the timer to finish.

The barrier is never touched before the contract expires. You lose your full stake.

• Stake — $1 to $10,000
• Duration — maximum time allowed; contract may end sooner if barrier is touched
• Barrier — the price level that must be reached

Higher only checks whether exit price is above the barrier at expiry. Price could touch the barrier mid-contract and fall back — Higher would still lose in that case.

Touch wins the moment the barrier is reached, regardless of where price is at expiry. Choose Touch when you care about the path, not just the closing quote.

• Closer barriers are more likely to be touched quickly; farther barriers need larger moves.
• Longer duration gives more time for price to reach a distant barrier.
• Touch pairs naturally with No Touch — opposite predictions on the same barrier concept.
