Knock-In Option

    0.03 sec.
Knock-In Option
A latent option contract that begins to function as a normal option ("knocks in") only once a certain price level is reached before expiration.

Notes:
Technically, this type of contract is not an option until a certain price is met, so if the price is never reached it is as if the contract never existed. Knock-ins are a type of barrier option that may be either 'down and in' or 'up and in'.
