What are turbo options?

Turbo options allow you to earn a potentially high payout if your market predictions are right and if the spot price does not touch or breach a predetermined barrier.

How do turbo options work?

Up/Down

Up/Down

Up

You will receive a payout if the spot price remains above a predetermined barrier throughout the entire trade duration. If the spot price touches or breaches the barrier at any time before the contract expires, the initial stake (premium) is lost.

Your net profit will depend on how much the spot price exceeds the barrier, with the maximum potential gains growing if the underlying price rises significantly. Your losses are limited to the initial stake required to purchase the Up turbo option.

You will receive a payout if the spot price remains below a predetermined barrier throughout the entire trade duration. If the spot price touches or breaches the barrier at any time before the contract expires, the initial stake (premium) is lost.

Your net profit will depend on how much the spot price falls below the barrier, with the maximum potential gains growing if the underlying price falls significantly. Your losses are limited to the initial stake required to purchase the Down turbo option.

Why traders choose turbo options

Turbo options can be considered a lower-cost or a higher-risk-and-return alternative to vanilla options. Though the odds of the contract expiring worthless can be high (which is when the contract expires without you earning a payout), your loss is strictly limited to your invested stake.
