That's the whole trade. Wrong, and the knockout you picked is your max loss. Right on a real move, and you keep up to 95%.
Start trading nowFour traders, four contracts, one job: turn a small directional move into a large return on a small stake. Each one charges its own tax for that job. Knockouts delete the tax and keep one honest risk, the knockout you picked.
You buy far out-of-the-money options for the fast move. Theta bleeds the premium while you wait, and IV crush eats the win when it comes. A knockout is the same convex shot with the clock deleted. Picking your leverage is picking your strike distance. No strike chain, no greeks, no expiry.
Option buying, without theta decay.
You hunt 30 to 100 bps moves, and the venue taxes every attempt: spread at entry, a fee on your full notional both ways, funding while you hold. Here the fill is the exact chart price, the cost is $1 a lot, and nothing accrues while you hold.
$1 in, $1 out. Nothing bleeds in between.
You already run 400x on gold and forex, on a broker you have to trust blind. The leverage here comes with a published settlement log, and margin that never sits in anyone's queue. If a settlement ever waits, you can see exactly where it is in line.
The leverage, without the broker's word.
You already know knockouts, Hong Kong and Germany trade them at scale. These drop the issuer premium and the market maker's quote. The fill is the chart price, and the knockout level is yours to pick, not the issuer's to call.
The contract you know, minus the issuer.
On markets that actually move: BTC, ETH, SOL, gold, the S&P 500 and more.
The payout curve rewards move size. It is shown on every contract, before entry.
Every derivative has two sides, one pays the other, and we publish the reserve where that money sits in between. When it is funded, profit lands instantly. When it is low, it waits in a public first-in-first-out line you can watch, and your margin never waits in any line, close a trade and it is yours.

Percentage fees grow with your leverage. At 1000x, a 5 bps taker fee is half your margin, per side. A flat fee is the only pricing that survives the leverage.
A small stake, the exact chart price, a knockout you picked, and margin that is never trapped.
