Knock-outs trading

Capped risk; unlimited profit potential. Trade global markets with knock-outs - whether you're bullish or bearish.

How to place a knock-out trade

How do knock-outs work?

Knock-outs are a limited-risk product with an expiry. They move one-for-one with the underlying price1, and close automatically if your chosen knock-out level is hit. By choosing your knock-out level and your trade size, you can manage your maximum risk for each trade.

You can trade knock-outs whether you think the market will rise or fall – buying a bull knock-out means you think the market will rise, and a bear knock-out trade means you think it will fall. You can close your position at any time before expiry - unless the knock-out level is reached, in which case the position will be automatically closed.

      How much do knock-outs cost?

      The opening price of a knock-out is the difference between IG’s underlying price at which you open your position and the knock-out level you select. A small knock-out premium is included in our spread, which means you’ll receive it back if you close the trade without being knocked out.
