1. A range of possible digital 100 options will be offered on the daily performance/official settlement of each market. The price quotation for each digital 100 is expressed in points. If the digital 100 statement is true, the price settles at 100. If it isn’t true, it settles at 0. If the market finishes at the exact same value at the point of expiry, 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.
