A contract state in which the stated settlement condition has been met.
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.
In-the-money (ITM) is often researched beside Out-of-the-money (OTM) and Settlement price and Contract multiplier. The labels can appear in the same workflow, but they do not describe the same field or condition.
A contract state in which the stated settlement condition has not been met.
The final quote used to determine whether the contract condition was met.
A number applied to a stated settlement value to calculate the total amount paid per contract.
In-the-money (ITM) means a contract state in which the stated settlement condition has been met. A contract state describes the relationship between the observed settlement value and the contract condition. It is not a forecast and may change when equality, rounding, quote side, or path observation is defined differently.
Save the exact condition, strike or barriers, final stored value, displayed precision, and whether equality is strict, inclusive, refunded, or void. Reconstruct the label from those fields.
The governing above, below, equal, touch, range, or void rule.
The unrounded settlement record and the quote source or calculation used.
The history entry showing cash outcome, refund, correction, and status.
In a broker review, do not read In-the-money (ITM) 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.
