For Daily Stock Options and Pair Binaries, maximum exposure per underlying instrument is equal to the maximum contract size and is calculated as the sum of all ongoing binary option contracts with the same underlying. Orders/contracts breaching the maximum exposure will be cancelled together with associated profit or loss (with possible delay due to manual cancellation).
Maximum exposure limits are separately defined for every base currency in the table above. Exposure is calculated basing on the total amount of contracts in ACTIVE status, irrespective of their side (Call or Put) and underlying instrument. For instance, an active Put contract for 100 USD and an active Call contract for 200 USD build up a total exposure of 300 USD.
Clients can open, simultaneously, several contracts on the same instrument; the number of pending and active contracts cannot exceed 100 at a time.
