Stays Between

Choose a price range (upper and lower barriers) and predict if the market price will stay between or go outside the range during the contract period.

If you select "Stays Between", you win the Payout if the market stays between (does not touch) either the High Barrier or the Low Barrier at any time during the Contract period.

If you select "Goes Outside", you win the Payout if the market touches either the High Barrier or the Low Barrier at any time during the Contract period.

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 Stays Between/ Goes Outside options, use the following:

    1. Set contract_type:

      1. For Stay Between, use: "RANGE"
      2. For Goes Outside, use: "UPORDOWN"
    2. For the High Barrier Offset: set the barrier Eg: barrier: "+1.51"

    3. For the Low Barrier Offset: set the barrier2 Eg: barrier: "-1.51"

    👍

    Add +/- to define a barrier offset. For example, +0.005 means a Barrier that's 0.005 higher than the Entry spot.

  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.
