3. How do “Buy Low” and “Sell High” products work?

There are two types of Dual Investment products: “Buy Low” and “Sell High”.

1. Buy Low

Buy Low  gives you a chance to buy crypto at the target price on a future date while earning rewards regardless of the market direction. 

Example:

• Current BTC price: $60,000
• Target Price: $50,000 (to buy BTC with USDT in 2 weeks).
• Scenarios
•  Target Price is not reached (Settlement Price ≥ Target Price): You won’t buy BTC and will receive your subscription amount and rewards in USDT.
•  Target Price is reached (Settlement Price ≤ Target Price): You will buy BTC at $50,000 using your subscription amount and rewards.

2. Sell High

Sell High gives you a chance to sell crypto at the target price on a future date while earning rewards regardless of the market direction. 

Example: 

• Current BTC price: $60,000
• Target Price: $80,000 (to sell BTC into USDT in 2 weeks).
• Scenarios
•  Target Price is reached (Settlement Price ≥ the Target Price): You will sell your BTC, including the subscription amount and rewards, at $80,000 into USDT.
• Target Price is not reached (Settlement Price ≤ Target Price): You won’t sell BTC and will receive your subscription amount and rewards in BTC.

4. The risks of Dual Investment 

Dual Investment, while versatile and potentially profitable, requires an understanding of the risks involved:

• Market Price Volatility Risk: The market could move in an unforeseen direction, leading to missed opportunities. If the price moves further away from the Target Price, you end up losing the opportunity to buy or sell at a more favorable price.
• Less Flexibility: Once subscribed, your funds will be locked up and you won’t be able to access your funds until the Settlement Date.

Important Note: Dual Investment is not a risk-free investment. Please read through the product terms carefully before making your investment. Binance is not liable for any losses incurred from price fluctuations.

5. What is Auto-Compound?

The Auto-Compound feature automatically re-subscribes your position, setting a new Settlement Date based on the next available date from the current one.

 As long as the Auto-Compound feature is enabled, your Dual Investment plan will automatically re-subscribe on the Settlement Date. You can enable or disable the Auto-Compound plan via the Earn Wallet 30 minutes before the Settlement Date.

To enable the feature, toggle on the button next to [Auto-Compound] when setting up your plan. Then choose either the [Basic Plan] or the [Advanced Plan].

6. How does Auto-Compound work?

You can select between two types of Auto-Compound plans:

1. Basic Plan

• If the Target Price is reached, Auto-Compound will stop. The system will close the position and distribute the rewards.
• If the Target Price is not reached, Auto-Compound will continue. The system will automatically subscribe to a new position with settlement occurring on the next available Settlement Date until the Target Price is reached.

2. Advanced Plan

• If the Target Price is reached, the system will automatically subscribe to a new position with settlement occurring on the next available Settlement Date in the opposite direction. For example, you subscribed to a Sell High product and the Target Price is reached. Auto-Compound will open a new Buy Low position for you.
• If the Target Price is not reached, the system will automatically subscribe to a new position with settlement occurring on the next available Settlement Date in the same direction.

For example, you subscribed to a Sell High product and the Target Price is not reached. Auto-Compound will open a new Sell High position for you.

Please Note: We will auto-compound based on the Market Price at your settlement time and choose a new Target Price based on the current Market Price within the available instruments.. 

For example:

If you’re using the Basic Plan of Auto-Compound and the Buy Low Target Price is not reached, the system will set a new Target Price up to 15% away from the current Market Price. Suppose the current Market Price is $20,000 for BTC, the new Target Price will be 15% lower at $17,000.
