Swiss forex bank Dukascopy Bank has increased the minimum duration for up/down binary options on certain major forex pairs, it said on Tuesday. The bank has set the new minimum to three minutes from the previous one minute.
The new conditions apply for EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD, USD/CAD, AUD/USD, EUR/JPY, USD/CHF, and GBP/JPY pairs. The broker changed the expiration of the same instruments just last month.
The maximum contract duration remains 24 hours. Dukascopy Bank expanded in April last year the expiration period for binary options of the up/down type to a day from 60 minutes. However, the maximum possible duration is only available if the option is set right after the settlement time.

Traders can choose themselves the duration of each contract in binary options. The time is decided preliminary for each deal.
