A digital 100 is generally based on a single question with a yes/no answer.
To place a digital 100 trade select your market and position, choose a timeframe, then decide your stake and maximum risk. If you’re right at the time the digital 100 expires, you win. And if you’re wrong, you lose.
How digital 100s work
A digital 100 allows you to take a view on whether a specific outcome will or won't occur. For example, 'Will Wall Street be up at the close of the day?'
Your profit or loss is the difference between 100 (if the event occurs) or zero (if the event doesn't occur) and the level at which you 'bought' or 'sold'.
Digital 100 prices can be extremely volatile even when the underlying market is relatively static. A small movement in the underlying can make all the difference between the digital 100 settling at 0 or 100.

Prices above are subject to our website terms and conditions. Prices are indicative only.
Our range of digital 100s cater for all types of volatility trading.
Use a ladder when you think a market will move by a certain amount, but you aren’t sure in which direction.
For example: At expiry, will the market be higher or lower than your chosen levels?
Up/Downs are a type of ladder, but you decide whether the market will finish above or below a certain level.
For example: Will the market be higher or lower at expiry?
One touches pay out if you’re right, even if the market price only stays there for seconds.
For example: Will the market hit a specific level before expiry?
If you think you know both the direction and the level that a market will finish at, try target digital 100s.
For example: At expiry, do you think the market will close within a specified range?
Choose Hi-Lo digital 100s if you have an opinion on how volatile the market will be throughout the day.
For example: Can you predict the range your market’s daily high or low will fall in?
Use a tunnel to buy if you think markets will stay flat, or sell if you expect them to hit one of the chosen levels.
For example: Will the market remain between two chosen levels until expiry?
Although digital 100s are limited risk, their fast-moving nature means there’s still the potential to make substantial losses as well as gains. Open a free demo account today to practise with virtual funds.
