Explore Binary BotWhat are synthetic indices?
Synthetic indices are simulated markets whose price movements are generated by a broker's systems rather than by the buying and selling of real-world shares or commodities. Deriv groups these products within its current Derived Indices range.
They can provide continuous market activity beyond conventional exchange hours, but the exact instruments, availability, quote precision, and contract types depend on the broker. Always confirm the current product specification before building or running a strategy.

Digit contracts
Know what the data represents.
Digit tools read the final displayed digit of each broker quote. They can summarize Matches/Differs, Even/Odd, and Over/Under observations where those contracts are available.
A rolling history window recalculates as new ticks arrive and older ticks leave. The highest or lowest frequency describes that sample only; it does not guarantee what the next tick will be.
Understand digit contractsVolatility indices
Use the correct market and precision.
Tools for volatility indices should clearly show the market symbol, connection state, quote precision, contract terms, and history length. A mismatch in any of these can invalidate a rule.
Use charts for movement, analysis panels for statistics, builders for execution logic, and journals to verify what actually happened.

Test the complete lifecycle before considering real funds.
- 01Choose one market
Confirm symbol, account currency, and available contracts.
- 02Build the smallest rule
Use a fixed demo stake and an explicit stop condition.
- 03Watch every stage
Check proposal, purchase, open contract, settlement, and journal.
- 04Review failures
Record rejected values, disconnects, and unintended restarts.
Risk-management principles
Automation should make limits clearer, not hide them.
- Use a hard stop that prevents new purchases.
- Treat stake progressions as increased exposure, not protection.
- Verify the broker report after any disconnect.
- Never borrow to trade or use money you cannot afford to lose.
Common questions
Synthetic indices FAQ
Are synthetic indices the same as ordinary stock indices?
No. Synthetic indices are simulated markets generated by a broker's systems. They do not represent ownership in the companies that make up a conventional stock-market index.
Does a trading bot guarantee better results?
No. A bot applies predefined instructions consistently, but the strategy can still lose and technical interruptions can occur. Automation does not remove trading risk.
Should I test a bot on demo first?
Yes. Demo testing helps verify the strategy logic, trade lifecycle, limits, and error handling. Demo results do not guarantee real-account performance.
What is the difference between a bot builder and an analysis tool?
A bot builder turns explicit rules into automated actions. An analysis tool summarizes market data and helps you inspect conditions; it does not have to place trades.
