What is Rollover?

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
