An instrument is a general term to describe a financial product having monetary value or recording a monetary transaction.
In this case the exact product you are betting on e.g. a five minute Up/Down fixed odds FTSE. The instrument is made up of a market, a pricing type (binary or fixed odds), a bet duration and the bet type - in this case Up/Down.
