What we offer

Crash/Boom Indices

Take your pick from Crash Indices for sudden downturns or Boom Indices for rapid surges. Dial in the action with frequencies of 50, 150, 300, 500, 600, 900, or 1,000 ticks to determine how often (on average) your market will crash or boom.

Volatility Indices

Choose from a range of constant volatilities from a serene 10% to a stormy 250%. Plus, set your pace with tick speeds of every 2 seconds for normal, or every second for fast action.

Hybrid Indices

Experience the predictability of Crash/Boom indices with a 20% volatility boost. Capture movements based on real markets, combining steady patterns and dynamic jumps.

Volatility Switch Indices

Trade in shifting market conditions with volatility levels like 10%, 50%, or 100%, each lasting 5 to 60 minutes on average.

Step Indices

With each tick, the price of this instrument steps up or down by 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, or 0.5 – no wild swings or complicated trends. Just fixed, step-by-step movements.

Drift Switching Indices

These instruments shift between bullish, bearish, or side-ways trends. Ideal for smart buys, strategic sells, and timely pauses. And the best part? Shifts that average in durations of 10, 20, or 30 minutes mean you can anticipate and plan ahead.

Trek Indices

Most price changes are small, but the distribution skews toward larger movements in one direction. Choose up or down to access 30% volatility markets with built-in directional bias.

Skew Step Indices

Move beyond traditional Step Indices and trade with asymmetric step sizes and probabilities. With 80% or 90% probabilities for small shifts and 10% or 20% for sharp movements, every tick offers an opportunity to capitalise on dynamic market changes.

DEX Indices

Expect dramatic spikes and drops every 10, 15, or 25 minutes (on average) with smaller fluctuations in between.

Jump Indices

Expect prices to leap every 20 minutes (on average), with an equal chance of soaring or plunging around 30x the normal volatility of the index. And you can choose from 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% volatility.

Daily Reset Indices

These instruments simulate simplified bull (rising) and bear (falling) market trends. Mirroring real-world economic upturns driven by positive sentiment or downturns driven by pessimism. Each index resets daily to a baseline.

Range Break Indices

A ranging market where the price bounces between upper and lower boundaries, with sudden high or low breaks to create a new range. Tailor to your pace with a choice of break frequencies – every 100 or 200 boundary hits (on average).

Multi Step Indices

These indices typically jump or dip by 0.1 steps, but can move up or down by 0.2, 0.25, 0.3, or 0.5 steps in less frequent instances.

Synthetic Indices FAQs

Yes, selected Synthetic Indices are available on the Deriv MT5 swap-free account.
It depends on the specific asset that you are trading. Synthetic indices, except for Range Break Index, may not be well-suited for technical indicators. Since there is no order book, meaning that the price is not determined by the equilibrium of the highest bid and lowest offer, any noticeable historical patterns are purely coincidental. However, Range Break indices fluctuate between support and resistance levels before breaking out, so channel analysis and indicators may be effective.
External news events do not impact the price evolution of Synthetic Indices, and any short-term correlation is purely coincidental.
