Deriv launches with Crash 150 and Boom 150 synthetic indices

Deriv has announced two new additions to its line of synthetic indices – Crash 150 and Shot 150. They replicate the volatility found in fast moving instruments with price ticks every second and Crash/Boom events approximately every 2.5 minutes.

Key conclusions

• Crash 150 and Boom 150 are available on MT5 Standard, MT5 Swap-Free, MT5 Zero Spread and Deriv cTrader accounts.
• Spreads start from $0.1 with high leverage up to 1:2000 and a maximum position size of 1000 lots.
• The Crash 150 and Boom 150, like other synthetic Deriv indices, can be traded 24/7 and are not affected by real news or liquidity gaps.

The Crash 150 and Boom 150 complement Deriv’s existing lineup of synthetic indices, including the Crash 500 and Boom 500, but the new indices “crash” or “boom” more often.

They are designed for active traders, especially scalpers and high-frequency traders, with additional options for making short-term adjustments each session.

However, trading in such short periods requires skill, making these products more suitable for experienced traders who know how to manage risk.
