Deriv introduces Tactical Indices: Streamlining strategy-based trading

Cyberjaya, 27 November – Deriv has launched Tactical Indices, an innovative asset class that's already proving its worth in capturing major market moves. This development brings sophisticated trading strategies within reach of traders at all levels.

As an established online broker with 25 years of industry experience, Deriv developed Tactical Indices to address common trading challenges. This new offering automatically executes pre-defined rules based on technical indicators, enabling traders to capitalise on market opportunities without constant manual intervention.

Seizing market opportunities: Real-world success stories

The power of Tactical Indices becomes clear when we look at recent market events. During the US 2024 Election aftermath on November 6th, while silver dropped by around 5%, the Silver RSI Trend Down index demonstrated its effectiveness by gaining over 15% – triple the underlying movement.

“What makes Tactical Indices special is their ability to amplify market opportunities,” explains Prakash Bhudia, Head of Product and Growth at Deriv. "We’re seeing traders capitalise on market moves in ways that weren’t previously possible without complex technical analysis.”

Best indices to trade: Capturing market movements

The initial launch features four Silver RSI Tactical Indices, each proving their worth in recent market scenarios:

1. Trend Down Index (potentially capitalising on downward trends in silver prices)

During the post-election market volatility (November 6th), turned a 5% silver decline into a 15% gain

2. Trend Up Index (potentially capitalising on upward trends in silver prices)

December 9th: Converted a 4.5% silver rise into a 12.9% gain

3. Pullback Index (potentially capitalising on downward trend reversals in silver)

October 30-31st: Transformed a 5.85% silver pullback following US employment and inflation data into a 16% gain

4. Rebound Index (potentially capitalising on upward trend reversals in silver)

December 2-3rd: Turned a 3.5% silver rebound into a 12.7% profit

Key benefits of Tactical Indices for traders

• Automated capture of market movements
• Enhanced potential returns compared to traditional trading
• Professional-grade strategies without technical complexity
• Reduced monitoring needs with automated execution

Currently available on the Deriv MT5, Deriv cTrader, and Deriv X platforms, Tactical Indices represent just the beginning. Early 2025 will see the introduction of new technical indicators, including MACD and Bollinger Bands, alongside expanded asset classes and strategies.
