What are CFDs, Forex and Options?
A CFDs, Forex and Option or fixed return
option (FRO) is an option with a predetermined payout rate. As
the investor, you will choose whether you think the price of the asset
will rise or fall and will earn a 75-85% payout if you predicted
correctly. The exact amount of the payout is disclosed in your
contract for an option that expires in-the-money (for a correct
prediction) while an option that expires out-of-the-money (for an
incorrect prediction) will earn no return. Your payout is not
affected by how much the asset's value has increased or decreased.
Once you have purchased an option you cannot sell it until it
expires.

option is disabled. However, if you are having trouble purchasing an
option during market hours there may be a technical issue in which case
you can contact customer service. Finally, make sure you have sufficient
funds in your CryptoWay Options account otherwise you will not be able to
complete the purchase.

Where do the asset quotes come from?
CryptoWay Options uses SpotOption platform for CFDs, Forex and Options trading.
The prices are based on either Leverate.com or Reuters; All the FX
pairs and commodities are coming from Leverate while all the exotic
indices or exotic equity markets are coming from Reuters.
Since
there is only one single exchange in which the equities are trading at,
the prices of Apple, Google or Barclays for example are expected to be
the same no matter who provides the feed but as for FX and commodities,
where prices may vary, Leverate is their feed provider.
If there any issues with the expiry rate - proof of expiry can be provided.
