Why trade Knock-Outs with IG?
Increased flexibility
Set your knock-out level and trade size to determine your margin
Simple pricing
The knock-out price moves one-for-one with IG’s underlying price1
Limited risk
Your total margin is equal to your total risk
Knock-Outs explained
Knock-outs are a limited-risk CFD trade with an expiry. They move one-for-one with the underlying IG price1, and close automatically if your chosen knock-out level is hit. By choosing your knock-out level and your trade size, you can manage your maximum risk for each trade.
You can trade knock-outs whether you think 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.
How do I trade Knock-Outs with IG?
To start trading Knock-Out provider IG, you’ll need to:
Create an IG account
Create an IG account. If you already have an account with us, you’ll find them in our CFD trading platform and mobile apps.
Choose a bull or bear Knock-Out
This is dependent on whether you think the market will rise or fall.
Pick your Knock-Out level
This will be below IG's underlying price for a bull Knock-Out, and above our underlying price for a bear Knock-Out.
Open your position
You’ll know your maximum outlay from the outset. You can choose to close your position at any time – unless it reaches the knock-out level.
How much do Knock-Outs cost?
The opening price of a Knock-Out is the difference between IG’s underlying price at which you open your position and the knock-out level you select. A small Knock-Out premium is included in our spread, which means you’ll receive it back if you close the trade without being knocked out.
