Trading fundamentals
On the IQ Option platform, all the trading is carried out with Contracts for Difference (CFDs). In CFDs, you do not actually acquire the asset when you open the deal but rather invest in its price development. The payout will depend on the prediction. If your prediction of the price change is correct then you will receive your investment back plus a certain premium. And if your prediction goes wrong the investment amount will be deducted from your account.de
You have two types of deals Long and Short, if you click buy then you open a Long position which means that you expect the asset price to go up over time. And if you want to open a Short position, click the sell button which means that you expect the asset price to drop. You will notice that it is possible to speculate on both positive and negative price movements.
Deals can close automatically depending on the asset you trade or stay open until you close them manually. There is no fixed expiration when you open a deal and can keep as long as you like and can close it whenever you deem appropriate based on your trading strategy.
