How are they priced?

Our binary prices are based on the behaviour of an underlying market, but set by us.

We make our price according to four factors: time to expiry, the underlying market’s current value, client sentiment and our expectation of future volatility.

If your expectation of future volatility differs from ours, you may be able to profit by trading IG binaries.

The fast-moving nature of binaries provides the possibility of short-term gains, alongside any potential losses. Although binaries are limited risk, you should be aware that there is still the potential to make substantial losses as well as gains.

New to indices trading?

A stock index is a hugely important part of our financial world, but it is nothing more than a number representing the top shares from a particular exchange.

For example, the FTSE 100 represents the largest 100 companies traded on the London Stock Exchange. If, on average, the share price of these companies goes up - then the FTSE 100 will rise with them. And if they fall, it will drop.

Other examples of stock indices include:

• Dow Jones, Nasdaq and S&P (US)
• DAX and CAC (Europe)
• Hang Seng, Nikkei and ASX  (Asia-Pacific)

Most of these are calculated using a capitalisation-weighted average, which means the size of each company is taken into account. The more a particular company is worth, the more its share price will affect the index as a whole.

However, the Dow Jones and Nikkei are price-weighted indices, where shares with higher prices have more influence. This means a stock trading at $100 is given 10 times more weight than one at $10.
