updown is where you trade movement on everything. There are two ways to do it, and both share one wallet, one ticket style, and one rule: you know your max loss before you’re in.
  • Options — same-day and next-day calls and puts on the biggest US stocks and ETFs. Pick “Above X"or"BelowX" or "Below X”, pay the premium, and get paid by how far the stock finishes past your strike at the 4:00 PM ET close.
  • Interval markets — Up or Down on whether a stock or crypto price closes a 5-, 15-, or 60-minute window above where it opened. Every winning contract pays $1.00.
updown is real-money trading. Cash is USDG in your own wallet, and losses are real. The premium you pay for an option, or the price you pay for interval contracts, is the most you can lose.
