We know that barrier option move/reflect like fx prices.
Let say we enter EURUSD market in barrier option when fx price is 1.1200
then we want to place a stop in barrier option that would be equivalent as having a stop in fx of lest say 50 pips.
how do we calculate the barrier option price for that stop?

Thank you.

The Barrier price is the distance between IG’s underlying price and the knock out level + premium. For example as below, the market is 28725 and the KO is 27000 (which is a difference of 1275). The KO premium is 10, so the price is 1285.

In your example the barrier price is the 50 points plus whatever the KO premium is. 

If you fill in a deal ticket, the premium and price should auto populate.

    • #EURUSD: Peculiar PatternI spotted a cup & handle pattern on ⚠️EURUSD on 1H time frame.1.0777 - 1.0783 is its neckline.If the price breaks and closes above that, I will expect a bullish movement.Goals will be 1.0843 / 1.0894If the price sets a new low, the pattern will become invalid.
