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.

    • Hi, Placed £200 in a Gold Future deal but when it slightly goes down in value my leftover funds are being used and my equity is raised. Why are my leftover funds being used? Can I not just put everything in gold and keep a 100% equity in the deal? wont loose money unless I sell right?

    • Hi Guys, Quick and short question.  I want to purchase gold and hold it for the long term and not look at it for some time, maybe even years. Is doing this in spot trading possible? I just want to be able to purchase it and hold it in my account like you would physically but on IG and online as its safer of course than storing gold in your home like Smaug.    Bests.
