Lets you define whether the option needs to be knocked in or knocked out.

It is essential to define not only the type of barrier (i.e., knock IN or knock OUT) but also the direction of the barrier (Above or Below). This is because the definition of this instrument is such that the barrier is triggered if the spot trades “at or beyond” the barrier level at any point during the barrier monitoring period. Accordingly the barrier is considered triggered even if the spot rate is already beyond the barrier level in the monitoring period and never actually crosses the level during this period.

The Daily Vol <> Volume toggle button defines whether the current volume is a single volume or a daily volume.

In general, this button defines whether the current instrument is being bought or sold.
