Deriv Even/Odd Bot
Even/Odd is the simplest Digits contract: predict whether the last digit of the final tick is even or odd. A bot can repeat that decision for you under limits you set.
How Even/Odd contracts work
The last digit of each tick is a number from 0 to 9. Even covers 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8. Odd covers 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. You win if the final tick's last digit falls in the group you chose.
Because there are five digits in each group, the contract is close to an even-odds choice. There is no digit to pick, so the real decisions are your stake, how many trades to run and when to stop.
How to set up a Even/Odd bot
- Open the Trading Panel and pick a market and symbol, for example a Volatility Index.
- Choose Digits as the contract type, then Even or Odd as the trade type.
- Select a ready-made strategy, or a progression strategy such as Martingale for your stakes.
- Set your stake or payout, then turn on risk management to add a stop loss and take profit.
- Practice on a Deriv demo account first, then press play and follow each trade on the live chart.
What to know before you automate
No edge from the contract itself
With five digits in each group, neither side is favoured. Results come down to stake sizing and risk limits.
Be careful with stake increases
Strategies that raise your stake after a loss can grow quickly. Read our Martingale guide before using one.
Cap your downside
Turn on risk management and set a stop loss before you start the bot.
Try a Even/Odd bot on a Deriv demo account before you risk real money.
