Synthetic indices trading bot on Deriv
Derived Indices never close. While most markets sleep on weekends, your strategy can keep running on exclusive Deriv synthetic markets around the clock.
Build the bot with Deriv Bot's drag-and-drop canvas, with no code required. Load a preset, adjust the logic to match how you trade, and test the whole thing on a free demo account before a single dollar of real money is involved.
Derived Indices are exclusive to Deriv, so you won't find them on other brokers. Trading CFDs carries a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Consider whether you understand how these products work and whether you can afford that risk.
What a synthetic indices bot actually does
A synthetic indices bot on Deriv takes a trading strategy you have built or imported and applies it to Derived Indices, the exclusive markets Deriv runs around the clock. You choose the asset and trade type, set the conditions under which the bot buys, and decide when it should restart. Once it is running, it works through those rules trade by trade without you having to place each order by hand.
Because Derived Indices never close, a bot can keep applying the same logic at any hour. That is the appeal for many traders, but it also means a strategy that looks sensible on paper can run through long losing stretches before you notice. This is why the risk settings matter as much as the entry rules. Stop loss and take profit let you define the most you are willing to lose and the level at which you lock in a gain on each trade, so the bot stays inside limits you chose in advance.
One practical detail worth knowing: Deriv Bot runs in your browser. It keeps trading for as long as the tab stays open on your desktop or mobile device, and it pauses if the browser is closed. If you want Telegram alerts for each executed trade, you can connect them so you can follow performance without watching the screen.
A bot automates the process, not the outcome.
No bot guarantees profit, and CFD trading carries a high risk of losing money quickly because of leverage. Test any strategy on the free demo account first.

Which market should you automate?
Deriv Bot runs strategies across forex, indices, commodities and 24/7 Derived Indices. Here are the questions traders ask most before they choose a market and start building.
Which market is best to automate on Deriv: forex, indices or synthetic indices?
There is no single best market, because the right choice depends on your strategy and how much price movement you are comfortable with. Derived Indices trade 24/7, which suits traders who want a bot running around the clock, while forex and stock indices follow more traditional market hours.
Does Deriv support automated trading bots?
Yes. Deriv Bot lets you build a strategy with drag-and-drop blocks, load a preset such as Martingale, or import a bot from your device or Google Drive, with no coding required. Your bot runs in your browser, so keep the tab open while it trades.
Can I test a bot before trading real money?
Yes. You can test your strategy on a free demo account before switching to real funds. Trading CFDs carries a high risk of losing money quickly because of leverage, so testing first is the sensible step.
