Synthetic Indices available on Deriv

Drift Switching Indices

Trade trends, not tickers

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

DEX Indices

Capitalise on simulated news events

Expect dramatic spikes and drops every 15, 30, or 45 minutes (on average) with smaller fluctuations in between.

Volatility Indices

Choose your volatility

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.

Crash/Boom Indices

Master market extremes

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

Jump Indices

Get a jump on volatility

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.

Step Indices

Trade steps, not swings

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.

Range Break Indices

Range trading with a twist

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).

Daily Reset Indices

Simulated bull or bear markets. Resets daily.

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.

Multi Step Indices

Step indices with randomised movements

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

Hybrid Indices

Crash/Boom meets volatility

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

Skewed Step Indices

Step into asymmetry

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.
