Practical use
How to verify Upper barrier
Read Upper barrier together with Lower barrier, Barrier, Barrier breach. The comparison must preserve the exact rule, value, state, and evidence described below.
A neutral example
With spot 100, Upper barrier uses lower 95 and upper 105. A path touching exactly 105 tests equality, quote side, monitoring frequency, and Lower barrier. Upper barrier is distinguished here by one decisive fact: the higher of two levels needs its own distance, equality, monitoring, and trigger status.
