Special form of exotic option, each of which is equipped with a barrier. The option right is automatically triggered (knock-in option) or terminated (knock-out option) as soon as the barrier is reached (contracts with trigger points that, when crossed, automatically generate buying or selling). – Both call and put options can be structured in the form of a barrier option. Furthermore, the barrier can be above (up) or below (down) the strike price. – See Option.
