How does a one-touch binary option work?
In the case of a one-touch binary option, you would choose a strike price above or below the current market price, together with an expiration date or time (this could be as short as five minutes). For the option to deliver a profit, the price of the underlying asset only needs to hit the strike price once within the expiration period in order for the option to deliver a payout.
