Learn AI Binary Bots and Deriv Trading
Plain-English guides to the app, the markets and the strategies behind your bots. Start with Getting started if you are new.
Connect your account, practise safely and run your first bot.
Getting started
- Connect your Deriv accountAI Binary Bots trades through your own Deriv account. You can connect with a secure Deriv login or with an API token. Here is how each one works.
- Demo and real accountsA demo account lets you run bots with virtual funds. When you are ready, you switch to your real account from the same menu.
- Run your first botEverything you need to start a bot sits in one panel: market, contract, stake, risk limits and strategy. This walkthrough follows the panel from top to bottom.
- Do I need to code?No. AI Binary Bots offers ready-made bots that you set up with dropdowns and a play button. There is nothing to write or paste.
Understand the analytics, charts, statement and risk controls in the app.
Platform features and tools
- Trade analytics explainedTrade analytics summarises your settled trades in one view. This guide explains each metric and uses a real example where a 54% win rate still lost money.
- Multichart and watchlistThe watchlist shows live prices for every instrument. The multichart view lets you follow several markets side by side. Together they help you choose what to trade.
- Statement and trade historyAI Binary Bots keeps two records of your activity: Trade History for each trade, and your Statement for every transaction and your balance. They answer different questions.
- Stop loss and take profitA stop loss is the most you are willing to lose in a session. A take profit is the gain you are aiming for. Setting both before you start is one of the simplest ways to keep a bot inside your plan.
What you can trade, how digit contracts compare, and how bots compare with manual trading.
Markets and trading
- Volatility IndicesVolatility Indices are simulated markets with a constant level of volatility. They do not depend on real-world news, and they trade around the clock.
- Boom and CrashBoom and Crash indices drift slowly in one direction and then spike sharply the other way at random moments. The number in the name tells you how often, on average.
- ForexForex is the exchange of one currency for another. You trade a currency pair, predicting whether one currency will rise or fall against the other.
- Stock indicesA stock index tracks the performance of a group of companies. Trading an index lets you predict how a whole market or sector moves, without owning shares.
- CommoditiesCommodities are basic raw materials such as gold and oil. On Deriv you predict how their prices move, without ever owning the physical goods.
- CryptocurrenciesCryptocurrencies are digital assets, and their prices move around the clock. On Deriv Trader you can trade BTC/USD and ETH/USD price moves with Multipliers, without holding the coins.
- Digits contracts comparedAll three Digits contracts predict the last digit of the final tick. They differ in how many digits win, and that sets how likely each one is to win.
- Bots vs manual tradingA bot and a human trader face the same markets and the same odds. What differs is how decisions are made and carried out. Neither approach removes risk.
Contracts, strategies and terms
- Contract type guidesOver/Under, Even/Odd, Matches/Differs, Rise/Fall, Higher/Lower and Touch/No Touch.
