What are Deriv synthetic indices?
Synthetic indices are simulated markets available exclusively on Deriv (formerly Binary.com). Unlike forex or crypto, they don't depend on any real underlying asset — they're generated by a certified random number algorithm.
Key advantage for traders: they trade 24/7 without ever stopping — weekends, holidays, and nights included. This also means you need automated alerts, since monitoring charts continuously isn't humanly possible.
Why alerts are essential for synthetic indices
Non-stop markets
Synthetic indices never close. You can't watch a chart 24/7.
Fast moves
V75 can move 2-5% in minutes. Alerts let you act in time instead of missing the move.
Key levels
Get notified when price approaches your support, resistance, or breakout zone.

Popular alert strategies for synthetic indices
Frequently asked questions
What are Deriv synthetic indices?
Synthetic indices are simulated markets created by Deriv. They are not based on real-world assets but use a random number generator audited by an independent third party. They trade 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Popular ones include Volatility 75 (V75), Boom 1000, and Crash 500.
What is the best alert strategy for Volatility 75?
Traders typically set alerts at key support/resistance levels derived from daily or 4H charts — round numbers, prior highs/lows, or Fibonacci retracement zones. AlertBolt notifies you when V75 approaches these levels so you can make a timely decision without staring at the chart.
Can I get alerted for Boom and Crash spikes?
You can set price-level alerts on Boom and Crash indices. While the spike itself is instantaneous, AlertBolt can alert you when the price approaches the zone where a spike is likely based on historical patterns.
How many alerts can I set on synthetic indices?
The free plan allows 5 simultaneous active alerts across all markets. Paid plans offer 20 to unlimited active alerts, making it practical to monitor multiple synthetic indices at once.
Does AlertBolt work with MT5 or cTrader for Deriv?
AlertBolt monitors price levels directly. For TradingView users, you can set an alert on a Deriv synthetic index chart and route it to AlertBolt via webhook, which then delivers it to WhatsApp, Telegram, Email or SMS.
Are synthetic indices alerts available 24/7?
