Welcome to a discussion space for Deriv Synthetic Indices — with a focus on the Volatility Index and Boom/Crash pairs.
I created this thread to connect with traders who are also navigating these unique markets. The Volatility and Boom/Crash indices behave differently from traditional forex pairs, offering both opportunities and challenges. My goal here is to:

  1. Learn from others who trade these indices.
  2. Build a space where we can exchange insights and grow together.

I believe trading is best done with a community. So whether you’re new to synthetic indices or already experienced with Volatility, Boom, and Crash, you’re welcome to join in.
Let’s catch the next moves in Volatility and Boom/Crash!

Good day, I mainly trade to buy Boom and sell Crash. Over the last couple of years I've had a very good run in terms of stable withdrawals. I am very eager to interact with you. My only inconsistency is a lack of finding a better and stable trading community with like minded traders. And also a ack of motivation to stick to long term trading.

It’s impressive that you’ve managed stable withdrawals over the years; that’s something many traders aim for. I completely understand the challenge of finding a solid, like-minded trading community and also staying consistent with long-term motivation. That’s actually one of the main reasons I created this space — so traders like us who focus on Boom/Crash and Volatility can interact, share setups, and encourage one another. Feel free to post your thoughts, charts, or setups anytime. I’m sure your experience will add real value here, and together we can build the kind of community you’re looking for.

I have been on a short on Volatility 25 Index (1s) since Wednesday. I will let you know when I close it. BTW I do not post much cuz I enjoy my time trading but I think I have to be active on here too. Anyway, let's see how this goes. Kindly suggest what we should be chatting about on this thread. I started this thread cuz I don't see people talking about deriv synthetics. Which we all love trading them on weekends with cryptos. Pls say something.

Can you post an image of Market Watch, please.
I am interested in which Derived Indices are available for the EU.
