01 Introduction This is a step-by-step guide on how to trade synthetic indices, which are unique to Deriv.

Synthetic indices are unique indices that mimic real-world market volatility and liquidity risks which are often seen in other financial markets. They are available for trading 24/7/365, and are based on a cryptographically secure random number generator audited for fairness by an independent third party. Synthetic indices have been traded for over 10 years with a proven track record for reliability and continue to grow in popularity. Deriv offers a transparent and fair platform with continuous two-way pricing and does not second-guess which side of the trade you are going to take.

You will be able to practise trading these markets with a demo account so you can see them in action without risking any money. As you become more confident, you can start using a real trading account.

The great advantage of using Deriv services, which are available for clients above the age of 18, is that you can start trading with just a small deposit. All the same, please remember that trading can be addictive and you need to be aware of its risks. Visit begambleaware.org for more information. To give you more measures of control, Deriv offers you ways to place trading limits or entirely exclude yourself from trading for a certain period of time.
