Choose an amount you want to earn per point of movement. There are three types of lookbacks:

  1. High-Close: The highest market price during the contract period minus the price at the contract end.
  2. High-Low: The highest market price minus the lowest market price during the contract period.
  3. Close-Low: The market price at the contract end minus the lowest market price during the contract period.

High-Close

By purchasing the "High-Close" contract, you'll win the multiplier times the difference between the High and Close over the duration of the contract.

Trading Flow

  1. Authorize using your token: Call authorize API using your token. Ensure that the token has the trading scope enabled.

  2. Fetch Available Instruments: Use the active_symbols API to retrieve a list of all trading instruments offered on Deriv.

  3. Get Contract Details: Using the contracts_for API, obtain a list of contracts available for a specific instrument.

  4. Request a Price: Use the proposal API to get a quote. This will return an ID for the proposed trade.
    For the High-Close Lookback:

    1. Use the contract_type as: "LBFLOATPUT"

    2. Set the multiplier. Eg: Use multiplier: 1

  5. Buy the Contract: Execute the trade by using the buy API with the ID from the proposal response. This action returns a unique contract_id.

  6. Monitor the Contract Status: Check the contract’s progress or outcome using the proposal_open_contract API with the contract_id.

  7. Close the Contract Early (if Needed): If you want to exit before the contract’s expiration, use the sell API with the contract_id.

High-Low

By purchasing the "High-Low" contract, you'll win the multiplier times the difference between the High and Low over the duration of the contract.
