Synthetic Indices FAQs

Can I trade Synthetic Indices on swap-free accounts?

Yes, selected Synthetic Indices are available on the Deriv MT5 swap-free account.

Do technical indicators work the same for Synthetic Indices?

Synthetic indices may not be well-suited for technical indicators. Since there is no order book, meaning that the price is not determined by the equilibrium of the highest bid and lowest offer, any noticeable historical patterns are purely coincidental.

Can external news events impact the price of Synthetic Indices?

External news events do not impact the price evolution of Synthetic Indices, and any short-term correlation is purely coincidental.
