Take advantage of moves in the markets – no matter how big or small – with our range of fixed-risk digital 100s*.
You can profit on markets that move five points or fifty. All that matters is you’re proved right.
Know your maximum potential profit and loss before you go into every trade.
Speculate on indices, FX, and commodities, with timeframes from two hours to one month.
Digital 100s are based on a single statement with a yes or no answer, and enable you to speculate on the likelihood of a market event taking place. If you predict the outcome correctly, the trade will return a profit. If not, you’ll lose your original stake.
For example, a typical digital 100 statement might be ‘FTSE 100 to finish up’. You’re then presented with the option to buy the digital 100 if you think the FTSE will be up at the end of the trading day, and to sell if you think it won’t.
The price of a digital 100 ranges from 0 to 100. This price reflects our view on the probability that this event will occur, based on the behaviour of the underlying market and how long the digital 100 has until it expires. The more likely we think it is that the event will occur, the closer the price will be to 100.
If the digital 100 statement is true (in this case, if the FTSE finishes up), the price settles at 100. If it isn’t true (ie if the FTSE finishes down), it settles at 0. If the market finishes at the exact same value at the point of expiry (the FTSE is unchanged), the digital 100 would be considered up, and the price would settle at 100. Your profit or loss depends on the amount per point you’ve staked, and the difference between your opening price and the digital 100’s closing price.
Choose the appropriate digital 100 type, based on what you think will happen.
Select your strike to view the market’s chart, with one eye on streaming data and real-time profit and loss.
Decide upon your stake, work out your maximum potential profit and loss, and take a position on whether the event will take place (buy) or won’t (sell).
The fast-moving nature of IG digital 100s provides the possibility of short-term gains, alongside any potential losses. Although digital 100s are limited risk, you should be aware there is still the potential to make substantial losses as well as gains.
