The moment when a binary-option condition is evaluated for final settlement.
Look for this term around the chart, strike or barrier controls, payout display, order confirmation, result history, or contract specification. The recorded value should be understandable before an order is confirmed.
Use the definition above together with the exact value, condition, timestamp, account, product, or payment context shown by the broker.
Expiry time is often researched beside Expiry cutoff and European-style binary option and Expiry-only observation. The labels can appear in the same workflow, but they do not describe the same field or condition.
The final moment at which a contract can be opened or modified before settlement. This can differ from the displayed expiry time.
A binary option whose settlement condition is evaluated at expiry rather than exercised before expiry.
The contract checks its condition once at the stated settlement time rather than monitoring the full price path.
Expiry can mean a fixed clock time or the end of a duration measured from acceptance or another entry event. The full timeline includes submission, server acceptance, entry tick, cutoff, observation end, and settlement credit.
Record each event in UTC and calculate acceptance latency, accepted duration, and settlement lag. Compare a 60-second acceptance-start contract with a fixed 10:01:00 clock expiry; the same button label can produce different timelines.
Check timezone, daylight-saving, holiday, weekend, maintenance, rejection, missing tick, and path-dependent early-determination rules. A countdown alone is not a complete expiry specification.
Expiry time means the moment when a binary-option condition is evaluated for final settlement. Timing terms can refer to client submission, server acceptance, entry tick, order cutoff, observation start, expiry, settlement, or market session. Each event needs a timestamp and timezone.
Record all available events in UTC, calculate acceptance latency, accepted duration, and settlement lag, then note daylight-saving, holiday, weekend, maintenance, and event-window effects.
Timer or fixed clock, timezone, daylight-saving rule, and start event.
Submission, acceptance, entry, cutoff, expiry, and settlement timestamps.
Asset session, holiday calendar, interruption, and restart policy.
In a broker review, do not read Expiry time in isolation. Match the broker's own definition to the relevant contract, account, pricing, payment, or platform screen and record the condition that changes its meaning.
Pricing and settlement terms determine what the platform records, when the result is evaluated, and how the return is calculated. Small differences can change whether two displayed offers are genuinely comparable.
A high displayed percentage or precise chart does not by itself establish a fair settlement process. The source, timestamp, quote side, cutoff, and exception rules still matter.
Check these points on the broker's product screen, account flow, terms, or help pages.
Check whether the figure is gross return, net profit, refund, or another calculation.
Compare entry, cutoff, observation, and settlement times using the same time basis.
Confirm whether bid, ask, midpoint, last price, or another quote determines the result.
Read tie, void, rejection, requote, outage, and correction rules.
Short answers for users comparing binary options brokers and account conditions.
Expiry time is commonly compared with Expiry cutoff. Expiry cutoff means: The final moment at which a contract can be opened or modified before settlement. This can differ from the displayed expiry time.
Pricing and settlement terms determine what the platform records, when the result is evaluated, and how the return is calculated. Small differences can change whether two displayed offers are genuinely comparable.
A high displayed percentage or precise chart does not by itself establish a fair settlement process. The source, timestamp, quote side, cutoff, and exception rules still matter. Check the broker's definition, applicable terms, and account or product screen before relying on the label.
