No, TradersView doesn’t provide personalised trading signals, trade recommendations, or instructions on when to enter or exit a market.

The platform is designed to help users analyse markets and understand market conditions. Trading decisions remain the responsibility of the individual trader.

‍

The AI chart analysis provides a summary of the technical picture of a market.

Depending on the instrument, this may include observations about trend direction, key price levels, momentum, volatility, support levels, resistance levels, and other technical factors, including how the various signals align. You can generate it on demand for different timeframes ranging from five minutes to one day. 

Instead of leaving you to interpret the indicators alone, it pulls them together into a readable summary of where the market stands. 

‍

The AI market summary explains what is moving a market and why.

It connects market movement with factors such as sentiment, news, and broader market developments, helping traders understand the potential drivers behind price action.

The summary is designed to help users move beyond simply observing a market move and gain a better understanding of the factors influencing it.

‍

Each instrument page combines several views of a particular trading instrument, including:

• Live price data
• Price charts
• Technical indicators
• AI-generated analysis
• Support and resistance levels
• Market sentiment
• Related news and developments

These elements are brought together to help traders analyse a market from multiple perspectives in one place.

‍

Financial markets are influenced by many factors, including technical conditions, economic events, market sentiment, and news developments.

TradersView brings these perspectives together to help you build a more complete view of market conditions. Rather than reviewing charts, news, and economic events separately, you can analyse them in a single experience.

The goal is to help traders better understand market movement and the factors that may be influencing it.

‍

Yes, you can access TradersView for free without needing a subscription, payment, or deposit. This includes the instrument explorer, live charts and technical indicators, AI chart analysis, the economic calendar, and trending news. 

‍

No, you don’t need a Deriv account to use TradersView.

TradersView is open to everyone and requires no account, login, or sign-up. You can browse every instrument, generate AI chart analysis, check the economic calendar, and read trending news.

An account is only needed when you decide to trade, at which point you can sign up for a Deriv account for free to trade your preferred financial markets. 

‍

TradersView helps you explore and analyse financial markets in one place.

You can use it to:

• Review AI-powered market summaries
• Analyse individual financial instruments
• Explore technical market conditions
• Follow economic events that may influence markets
• Stay informed on market-moving news and developments
• Monitor market sentiment

The platform is designed to help traders understand market conditions before making their own trading decisions.

‍

TradersView is Deriv's financial-market analysis experience designed to help traders understand what is happening in the markets and why.

It brings together AI-powered market summaries, chart analysis, market news, economic events, and sentiment insights into a single analytical view. Instead of relying on isolated signals or fragmented sources of information, TradersView helps users analyse markets through multiple perspectives.

TradersView is intended to support market analysis and understanding. It does not provide personalised financial advice or tell users what to trade.

‍

No paid subscription is required. A free TradingView account is enough to connect your Deriv account and start trading.

Paid TradingView plans offer additional charting features, but they are not required to place or manage trades.

‍

Deriv doesn’t charge any additional fees for using TradingView. Your trading costs, including spreads and commissions, remain the same as when trading directly on cTrader, with no extra charges for connecting through TradingView.

‍

Yes, you can trade Synthetic Indices directly on TradingView charts using your Deriv account.

Synthetic Indices are Deriv’s proprietary indices that are available to trade 24/7, independent of real-world market hours. This means you can chart and trade them from within TradingView at any time, including outside traditional market hours. Popular Synthetic Indices include Volatility Indices, Crash/Boom Indices, Jump Indices, and Step Indices.

‍

You can trade all instruments available on your Deriv cTrader account. This includes a wide range of markets such as:

• Forex
• Stocks
• Commodities
• Stock indices
• Cryptocurrencies
• ETFs
• Derived Indices, including 24/7 Synthetic Indices (like Volatility Indices, Crash/Boom Indices, Jump Indices, and more) 

The full list of instruments you see in TradingView will match what is available in your cTrader account.

‍

To trade on TradingView, you’ll need to fund your Deriv cTrader account — not TradingView directly.

All deposits and withdrawals are handled through your Deriv account (via the Deriv website or app). Once you’ve added funds to your Deriv Wallet, you’ll need to transfer them to your Deriv cTrader account before you can start trading on TradingView.

If your cTrader balance is zero, make sure to deposit and transfer funds first before placing any trades.

Once the funds are transferred, they become immediately available in your cTrader account and can be used for trading on TradingView. You can check your cTrader balance in your Deriv account or in TradingView’s trading panel.

If you do not want to deposit funds yet, you can use a demo cTrader account to practise trading.

‍

Yes. If you don't have a cTrader account when you connect, a demo cTrader account is automatically created for you and linked to TradingView. No extra steps are needed. The account creation happens as part of the connection flow, and you can start trading on your demo account right away.

‍

Yes, if you have multiple cTrader accounts (for example, different real or demo accounts), you can connect all of them to TradingView.

Within TradingView, you can easily switch between your connected accounts by selecting the account you want to trade with. Each account is identified by its account ID.

‍

To connect your Deriv account to TradingView:

1. Log in to your TradingView account
2. Open any instrument’s chart, click Trade, and find Deriv in the broker list
3. Click Connect — you'll be redirected to the Deriv login page
4. Log in with your Deriv credentials
5. Review and accept the permissions on the consent screen
6. You'll be redirected back to TradingView with trading now enabled

The consent screen will ask for permission to view your profile, view your trading data, place trades, and link your cTrader account. These permissions are what allow TradingView to display your account information and execute trades on your behalf.

Once connected, your cTrader account(s) will appear in TradingView, and you can start analysing markets and placing trades directly from the charts.

If you don’t already have a cTrader account, one can be created automatically during the connection process.

‍

The integration works with Deriv cTrader accounts, both:

• Real (live) accounts for trading with real funds
• Demo accounts for practising with virtual funds

When you connect, all your cTrader accounts are linked automatically, so you can switch between them within TradingView.

If you don’t have a cTrader account yet, it can be created for you during the connection process when you link your Deriv account to TradingView.

‍

Yes, you need a TradingView account to connect to Deriv and use TradingView charts. Once you have your TradingView account, connecting it to Deriv takes under a minute.

You can use either a free or paid TradingView plan. A paid plan gives you access to additional charting tools and features, but it is not required for trading with Deriv.

‍

TradingView is a trading and charting platform that allows you to analyse financial markets using advanced charts, indicators, and drawing tools. It also supports trading directly from its charts through integrated brokers.

When you connect your Deriv cTrader account to TradingView, you can place and manage trades using TradingView’s interface while all trade execution, pricing, and account management are handled by Deriv. This means you get TradingView’s charting experience combined with Deriv’s trading conditions and infrastructure.

‍

To move up P2P tiers, you need to meet activity and performance requirements.

Each tier is based on the following:

• Time on the platform – How long you’ve been using Deriv P2P
• Trading activity – Your total P2P transaction volume
• Dispute record – The number of at-fault disputes in the last 30 days
• Completion rate – The percentage of successfully completed orders

‍

Meeting these criteria unlocks higher tiers with higher trading limits.

‍

If you've received the bonus as part of your first transfer, there are two reasons it may have been removed from your account:

• You made a withdrawal. Withdrawing any funds from your MT5 account while the bonus is active during the promotion period will remove it immediately, even if the amount withdrawn is smaller than the bonus itself.
• Your account equity fell below the bonus amount. If your account equity drops below the value of the bonus, the bonus is removed automatically.
• The campaign ended. All bonus amounts issued will expire on 30 June 2026 and are removed on that date, whether or not it has been used.

‍

On 30 June 2026:

• The bonus will be removed from your MT5 account
• If you have any open positions, you will receive a notification before this happens
• Your available margin will decrease accordingly

If you have open positions at the time, this reduction in margin may affect your trades. This means your positions could be impacted if your account no longer has enough funds to support them.

To avoid this, you should review your open positions before the bonus expires.

We'll send you a notification a couple of days before the bonus expires to give you time to do this. We recommend reviewing your open positions carefully before that date to avoid any unexpected impact on your account balance.

Any profit you made while using the bonus remains in your account and is not affected by the removal of the bonus.

‍

Yes. The bonus will expire on 30 June 2026. You'll receive a notification a couple of days before the expiry date as a reminder to review your open positions.

Once the expiry date is reached, the bonus will be removed from your account. Any profits you've made using the bonus will not be affected — those remain yours.

‍

Here are some of the few reasons why you did not receive your bonus:

1. You have not added funds to the eligible MT5 account yet

The bonus is only applied when you fund your Deriv MT5 CFDs | Standard account. Depositing funds into your main Deriv Wallet alone does not trigger the bonus.

2. This was not your first MT5 transfer

The bonus applies only to your first MT5 transfer. If you have transferred to your Deriv MT5 CFDs | Standard account previously, you will not receive a bonus again.

If you meet all the conditions and still did not receive the bonus, you can contact our live chat support.

‍

No. The bonus applies only on your first time transferring funds to your Deriv MT5 CFDs | Standard account.

Any additional transfers after the first one will not receive a bonus, even if it is done during the campaign period.

For example:

• First time: add 100 USD → receive bonus
• Second time: add another 100 USD → no bonus

This is why it is recommended to add your full intended amount at once.

The bonus is provided as trading bonus (margin) and can be used to support your trades.

This means:

• It helps you open larger positions
• It increases your available margin
• It can help maintain your positions

The bonus cannot be:

• Withdrawn
• Used as cash outside trading

No. There are no trading volume requirements or conditions to unlock the bonus.

Once you fund your Deriv MT5 CFDs | Standard account, the bonus is applied automatically and can be used immediately as additional margin for trading.

‍

The minimum deposit into your Deriv Wallet is 5 USD (or equivalent in other currencies). 

The minimum amount you need to deposit into your MT5 account to activate the bonus is 1 USD. 

The bonus is calculated only on the amount added to your MT5 account, starting from that 1 USD minimum. If you add less than 1 USD, the bonus will not apply.

‍

No, the bonus itself cannot be withdrawn.

The bonus is provided as trading bonus (margin) to help you trade larger positions and is meant to be used for trading purposes only. It does not form part of your withdrawable balance.

However, any profit you earn from trades made using the bonus is yours and can be withdrawn.

The maximum bonus you can receive is 100 USD.

This limit is reached when you add 500 USD to your MT5 account (20% of 500 USD = 100 USD).

If you add more than 500 USD, your bonus will still be capped at 100 USD. For example:

• Add 600 USD → receive 100 USD
• Add 1,000 USD → receive 100 USD

‍

The bonus is calculated as 20% of the amount you add to your MT5 account, not the amount you deposit into your Deriv Wallet.

This means:

• Only the funds you first transfer into a Deriv MT5 CFDs | Standard account are considered
• Any funds remaining outside the MT5 account are not included in the calculation

For example: if you deposit 200 USD into your Deriv Wallet but only move 100 USD into your MT5 account, your bonus will be 20% of 100 USD — giving you 20 USD in free margin and the capacity to trade positions worth up to 120 USD.

‍

To receive the bonus, you need to complete the following steps:

1. Sign up for a Deriv account
2. Deposit funds into your Deriv Wallet (minimum 5 USD or equivalent)
3. Transfer funds to your Deriv MT5 CFDs | Standard account
4. The 20% bonus will be applied automatically to your MT5 account (up to 100 USD)

‍

The bonus applies only when you add funds to a Deriv MT5 CFDs | Standard account. This account allows you to trade CFDs across multiple markets such as forex, commodities, stock indices, and 24/7 derived indices.

Make sure you are adding funds to an eligible MT5 account to receive the bonus.

The MT5 deposit bonus is a limited-time promotion that gives you additional trading margin when you fund your Deriv MT5 account for the first time.

When you make your first transfer into a Deriv MT5 CFDs | Standard account, you will receive a 20% free margin bonus on top of your transfer amount. This bonus is added directly to your MT5 account balance and can be used for trading straight away.

This bonus is added as trading bonus and is used to support your trades, allowing you to open larger positions than your deposit alone would allow. It is not added as a withdrawable balance and cannot be used as cash.

For example, if you add 100 USD to your MT5 account, you receive an extra 20 USD in trading bonus. This gives you more margin to trade with, but the bonus itself cannot be withdrawn.

Any profit you make from trades using the bonus is yours and can be withdrawn, subject to normal withdrawal conditions.

‍

Deriv Trader, SmartTrader, and Deriv Bot offer digital options trading on a range of underlying assets such as forex, stock indices, commodities, and derived indices. These platforms allow you to set the contract duration before opening positions, and you'll know exactly how much you'll earn if your speculation is correct. You may find these platforms more intuitive if you're new to the trading world.

Deriv MT5 offer CFD trading on a similar range of assets, where you're able to open positions with leverage and your potential profit is only known when you close your positions. It's riskier than digital options trading because while you may potentially gain a lot if the market moves in your favour, you may also lose a lot if it doesn't.

Deriv MetaTrader 5 (Deriv MT5) is a powerful CFD trading platform that lets you trade across a wide range of financial markets from a single interface.

Here’s what it offers:

Access to multiple markets
Trade forex, stocks, stock indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and derived indices.

CFD trading
You don’t own the underlying asset. Instead, you trade on price movements — meaning you can potentially benefit from both rising and falling markets.

Advanced trading tools
Use detailed charts, technical indicators, multiple order types, and automated strategies to analyse and manage your trades effectively.

The platform is known for its advanced charting tools, multiple order types, technical indicators, and support for automated trading strategies. It’s suitable for both intermediate and experienced traders who want greater control, flexibility, and analytical depth.

‍

You'll need to transfer funds from your Deriv account to your Deriv MT5 account. Transfers are instant, and your funds will be available in your Deriv MT5 account as soon as you complete the transfer.

You'll need to transfer funds from your Deriv MT5 account to your Deriv account. Transfers are instant, and your funds will be available in your Deriv account as soon as you complete the transfer.

Your Deriv MT5 login details are different because Deriv MT5 operates as a separate trading platform. It requires its own set of credentials to connect you securely to the MT5 trading environment.

Here’s the difference:

• Your Deriv login gives you access to your main Deriv account dashboard, deposits and withdrawals, and options trading platforms such as Deriv Trader and Deriv Bot.
• Your Deriv MT5 login is specifically for accessing the MT5 platform and managing trades there.

Think of it as having one master account (your Deriv login) and separate platform access credentials (such as Deriv MT5).

Your Deriv MT5 demo account stays active for as long as you use it. If it’s inactive for 30 days, it will be automatically deactivated. You can create a new one anytime through your Deriv account.

Demo trading lets you practise in a risk-free environment using virtual funds. It’s ideal for learning how leverage works, understanding spreads, and testing your approach.

When you’re comfortable with your strategy and understand the risks involved, you can switch to a real account to apply what you’ve learned in live market conditions.

‍

Your Deriv MT5 positions may appear to start with a small loss because of the spread. The spread is the difference between the bid price (the price you can sell at) and the ask price (the price you can buy at).

When you open a trade, it’s executed at the ask price if you’re buying, or the bid price if you’re selling. However, the current market price you see is based on the opposite side of that quote. This difference is what causes the position to begin slightly negative.

Once the market moves in your favour by more than the spread, your position can move into potential profit. The spread is a normal part of trading and represents the cost of entering the market.

‍

You can’t manually adjust the leverage on your Deriv MT5 account. Leverage is fixed and determined by the asset you trade.

Different assets carry different levels of volatility and risk, so each one has a predefined default leverage. This ensures a structured approach to margin requirements and helps maintain responsible risk management across markets.

Remember, leverage magnifies both potential profits and potential losses. A higher leverage means you can control a larger position with a smaller deposit, but it also increases your exposure. Always review the leverage conditions of the asset before trading so you understand how it impacts your position size and risk.

‍

Follow these steps to reset your Deriv MT5 password:

1. Go to your Deriv MT5 account.

2. Click on Details.

3. Click Forgot password. You will be prompted to enter a new password for your Deriv MT5 account.

4. We'll send a verification code to your email. Enter the verification code to confirm the password reset.

5. You will see a screen confirming that your password reset is successful.

You can now log in to Deriv MT5 with your new password.

Your documents may have been declined for one or more of the following reasons:

• The image was blurry, too dark, or difficult to read
• The document was expired or not valid
• The edges were cropped or parts of the document were cut off
• The information didn’t match your Deriv profile details

Before uploading your document again, check that:

• The document is valid and up to date

‍

You can manage up to five Deriv cTrader accounts, each linked to your Deriv login credentials. Here are some important things to know before creating or managing strategies on cTrader.

Login details

Use your Deriv account email and password to log in to cTrader. There’s no separate login or password for this platform.

Account limits

You can create up to five Deriv cTrader accounts. Any of these accounts can be made a strategy provider account, but once assigned, that change is permanent.

Strategy activity

If your strategy stays inactive for 30 days, it will be automatically deleted. You can create a new one on the same account at any time afterwards.

Fee settings

When setting up a strategy, you can impose fees for followers.

To do this, assign one of your existing accounts as an “Account for fees.” This account can handle multiple fee-based strategies.

• Free strategies do not need an Account for fees.
• Keep at least one account free from being a strategy provider so it can process fees.

Important note

An account cannot be both a strategy provider and a fee collection account. Maintaining at least one non-strategy account helps you manage fee-based strategies effectively.

‍

You can create up to five Deriv cTrader accounts under a single Deriv profile.

Each account can be used independently, giving you flexibility to manage different strategies, assets, or risk levels.

You can also choose to make one of your cTrader accounts a strategy provider account if you want to offer copy-trading services. However, this change is permanent and cannot be reversed.

Keep in mind:

• An account cannot be both a strategy provider and a fee collection account.
• You’ll need to keep at least one account free from being a strategy provider to manage fee-based strategies.

‍

Three of the most commonly used strategies in automated trading are Martingale, D'Alembert, and Oscar's Grind — you can find them pre-built and waiting for you in Deriv Bot.

‍

There are several ways to control your losses with Deriv Bot. Here’s a simple example of how you can implement loss control in your strategy:

1. Create the following variables and place them under Run once at start:

Stop loss threshold - Use this variable to store your loss limit. You can assign any amount you want. Your bot will stop when your losses hit or exceed this amount.

‍Current stake - Use this variable to store the stake amount. You can assign any amount you want, but it must be a positive number.

2. Set the Purchase conditions. In this example, your bot will purchase a Rise contract when it starts and after a contract closes.

3. Use a logic block to check if Total profit/loss is more than the Stop loss threshold amount. You can find the Total profit/loss variable under Analysis > Stats on the Blocks menu on the left. Your bot will continue to purchase new contracts until the Total profit/loss amount exceeds the Stop loss threshold amount.

‍

Some scammers pretend to be Deriv staff or copy the nicknames of trusted P2P users to trick you into releasing funds.

To stay safe:

• Deriv will never email or message you to complete a P2P transaction.
• Always verify the verification badge on the trader’s profile before trading.
• Double-check nicknames — scammers may use similar names to impersonate trusted merchants (e.g. Dams1234 vs Dems1234).
• Follow and trade only with merchants you trust on Deriv P2P.
• Verify usernames and sender emails carefully.
• Don’t share off-platform contact details (e.g. WhatsApp, Telegram).
• Pay only using the listed method and confirm the payer’s name matches their verified Deriv profile.

‍

Fraudsters may send spoofed texts that look like real payment notifications.

What you should do

Open your bank or e‑wallet app to verify the deposit.

‍

Scammers may send fake screenshots to pressure you into action.

What you should do

Always check your bank or e‑wallet directly before releasing funds.
