When it’s close to expiry time of a binary option, the position is out-of-the-money, and the trader is convinced that the market will still move to his advantage, then he can decide to delay the expiration time by activating the “Roll-Over” feature and modifying accordingly the time of expiry.
To do so, the following requirements need to be fulfilled:
The specific binary option (i.e. the underlying asset, expiration time and product type) is still open and needs more than 3 seconds for closing time
The initial invested amount will increase by 30%
The position needs to be “out-of-the-money
The Roll-Over capability is not available for the last trade of the day
The Roll-Over capability is only offered once per position

Like the market, rates at yorkbit are dynamic and change every second. The market fluctuations affect our automatic pricing engine, which displays rates at real-time. However, here at yorkbit, rate capturing is as good as technology allows. Additionally, you have the option to cancel your trade if you did not receive the exact rate you wished to trade on.

For your convenience, yorkbit makes rate analysis as easy as possible, by showing a blinking movement every time the price fluctuates, and by the color indicator, which turns the price green upon upward movement, or red upon downward movement.

The expiration time is the time and date at which an option expires.

The expiry rate is the price of the underlying asset at the time of expiry according to feed providers such as Reuters. This is the determining factor in if the option has expired in-the-money or out-of-the-money.

In simple terms, the bid represents the price at which you can currently Sell (or close a Buy order) and the ask represents the price at which you can currently Buy (or close a Sell order).

The numerical difference between the bid and the ask is called the spread.

Buy orders are executed at the ask price and Sell orders are executed at the bid price. Buy orders are closed at the bid price and Sell orders are closed at the ask price.
