What are knock-outs?

Video poster image

Knock-outs are a limited-risk CFD product. They move one-for-one with the underlying IG price,1 and close automatically if your chosen knock-out level is hit. By choosing your knock-out level and your trade size, you can control your maximum risk for each trade.

You can trade knock-outs when you predict the market will rise or fall – simply buy a bull knock-out if you think the market will rise, and a bear knock-out if you think the market will fall.
