This is a type of trading that involves choosing between two possible directions of the market. The trader only needs to determine if the price of the instrument will be higher or lower than the current price at the time of contract expiration.
The risk is fixed and is paid upfront like a wager. Potential profit is also fixed and known before taking the trade.
