The final quote used to determine whether the contract condition was 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.
Settlement price is often researched beside Reference price and Ask price and Price feed. The labels can appear in the same workflow, but they do not describe the same field or condition.
The designated quote used to set a contract condition or determine its outcome, including a source, quote side, and timestamp.
The lowest quoted price at which the referenced instrument can currently be bought. Check whether a broker uses the ask, bid, midpoint, or another quote for charts and settlement.
The stream of quotes used by the platform to display prices and determine contract settlement.
Settlement price means the final quote used to determine whether the contract condition was met. Chart, entry, strike, barrier, and settlement values can come from different steps in the workflow. A price is auditable only when the instrument, source, quote side, timestamp, precision, and correction policy are known.
Capture the value before confirmation, the accepted entry or reference tick, the final settlement value, and an external reference at the same UTC time. Explain expected spread or methodology differences instead of demanding identical pixels.
Named venue, provider, benchmark, or documented proprietary calculation.
UTC time, bid, ask, midpoint, last trade, mark, or another stated basis.
Missing ticks, filtered quotes, outages, fallback source, rounding, and correction process.
In a broker review, do not read Settlement price 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.

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.
