What are lookbacks
A lookback contract has a payout that depends on the optimum high or low achieved by the market. The option allows the holder to "look back" over time to determine the payout.
Types of lookbacks
We offer three types of lookbacks:
- High-Close
Win the multiplier times the high minus close.
- Close-Low
Win the multiplier times the close minus low.
- High-Low
Win the multiplier times the high minus low.
For example, let's say the market has a low of 5,200 and a close of 6,000 over the contract duration, then a "Close-Low" lookback with a multiplier of $2 would have a payout of:
Lookbacks options are currently only available for Synthetic Indices.
Return to player (RTP) % for lookbacks for a multiplier of 1 and 1m duration is around 87% on average.
