The trade has a fixed duration which can be set from a minimum of 4 minutes to a maximum of 4 hours. \
If the options closes in the money, the payout is 70% of the collateral. \
If the options closes out of the money, all the collateral is lost.

There are no fees but a spread is applied to the opening price. All trades are executed instantly with guaranteed prices.

When an option is opened, 5% of the collateral value is distributed to stakers: 3.5% to TIG stakers and 1.5% to tigUSD stakers.\
The collateral from a losing option remains inside the trading vault and raises its collateralization.

Is possible to [refer](/tigris/referrals.md) traders to earn a percentage of their trading volume.
