How To Trade Multipliers Using Synthetic Indices For Higher Profits! 💰🔥

What Are Multipliers From Deriv?

Multipliers from Deriv offer a great way of limiting risk and increasing potential profits from your trades. When the market moves in your favour, your potential profits will be multiplied. If the market moves against your prediction, your losses are limited only to your stake.

For example, let's suppose you predict that the market will go up and you stake $100.  

Without a multiplier, if the market goes up by 2%, you'll gain 2% * $100 = $2 profit.

With a x500 multiplier, if the market goes up by 2%, you'll gain 2% * $100 * 500 = $1,000 profit. 

So with Deriv multipliers, you have the opportunity to magnify your profits while you will only lose your stake should the trade go against you.

This is one advantage of trading synthetic indices.

Things to keep in mind when trading multipliers using synthetic indices

Stop out

With or without a stop loss in place, Deriv will close your position if the market moves against your prediction and your loss reaches the stop-out price. The stop-out price is the price at which your net loss is equal to your stake.

Multipliers on Crash and Boom

Deal cancellation isn’t available for Crash and Boom indices. The stop-out feature will close your contract automatically when your loss reaches or exceeds a percentage of your stake.

The stop-out percentage is shown below your stake on DTrader and varies according to your chosen multiplier.

You can’t use stop loss and deal cancellation features at the same time.

This is to protect you from losing your money when using deal cancellation. With deal cancellation, you are allowed to reclaim your full stake amount if you cancel your contract within an hour of opening the position.

Stop loss, on the other hand, will close your contract at a loss if the market moves against your position. However, once the deal cancellation expires, you can set a stop loss level on the open contract.

You can’t use take-profit and deal cancellation features at the same time.

You can’t set a take-profit level when you purchase a multipliers contract with deal cancellation. However, once the deal cancellation expires, you can set a take profit level on the open contract.

Cancel and close features are not allowed simultaneously.

If you purchase a contract with deal cancellation, the ‘Cancel’ button allows you to terminate your contract and get back your full stake. On the other hand, using the ‘Close’ button lets you terminate your position at the current price, which can lead to a loss if you close a losing trade.

Disadvantages Of Trading Multipliers on Deriv Using Synthetic Indices

• Increased Risk of Losses:

Multipliers amplify both gains and losses, meaning that even small market movements can lead to significant losses. This high volatility can quickly wipe out your investment capital if the market moves against your prediction.

• Psychological Impact:

The potential for substantial losses can take a toll on your emotions, leading to impulsive decisions and poor risk management. The constant pressure of potential losses can be psychologically stressful and detrimental to your trading decisions.

• Limited Control over Losses:

Despite Deriv's risk management features like stop-loss orders, you may still incur losses that exceed your initial investment due to slippage or unexpected market movements. This limited control over losses can be a significant disadvantage.

• Only Suitable for Experienced Traders:

Multiplier trading is complex. This means that it is suitable for experienced traders with a high-risk tolerance and a deep understanding of market dynamics. Beginners and risk-averse individuals should avoid multiplier trading.

• Risk management features cannot be used simultaneously
  Certain risk management features cannot be used simultaneously. For example, you cannot use Stop-Loss simultaneously if you have Deal Cancellation active. You also cannot use Cancel, and close features at the same time. This increases your risk of loss.

Tips for trading multipliers on Deriv

• Start with a small stake amount and gradually increase it as you become more comfortable with multiplier trading.
• Use stop-loss orders to limit your potential losses.
• Do not trade more than you can afford to lose.
• Understand the risks involved before trading multipliers.
• Use a demo account to trade multipliers and learn more about them.

Is multiplier trading on Deriv suitable for beginners?

No, multiplier trading on Deriv is not suitable for beginners. Multiplier trading is a high-risk investment, and beginners should not engage in this type of trading unless they have a deep understanding of market dynamics and a high-risk tolerance.
