This type of option allows the investor to set the position of the barrier, the time to expiration and the payout to be received once the barrier is broken.

In touch trading, you must predict if an asset will touch a set strike any time before the time of expiration. If you predict correctly, and the price of the asset touches the strike price before the time of expiration, you will be in-the-money and receive a pre-determined payout, usually between 70% – 85% depends on brokers.

It is recommended that only investors who have good knowledge of the asset they are trading should make use of the touch trading option.
