ARE SYNTHETIC INDICES EASIER TO TRADE?
When you’ve traded other instruments, you can only say indices are easier.
For the record, by indices, I mean Deriv broker indices such as volatility 75, boom and crash, and so on.
Now, let’s get back to the question “Are synthetic indices easier to trade?”
As a trader who has traded both the forex and synthetic markets, I can say with certainty that synthetic indices are easier for a variety of reasons.
- Synthetic indices have a much lower spread compared to forex trading
- Constant liquidity
- Free of global events that continuously affect the conventional markets
- Respond better to market structure technical analysis
- Much better for scalping even in 1 minute.
WHICH TIME FRAME IS BEST FOR VOLATILITY 75 INDEX
Volatility 75 index is volatile by design, this is why there is a significant profit or loss on a little move on the instrument, and therefore it is advised that small account holders should rather stay on lower timeframes to limit their risk.
That being said these are the three best time frames for volatility 75 index which should be traded after market analysis on higher timeframes as well.
The three time frames are 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 1 hour.
In these timeframes, a trader can limit risk and maximize profit.
In the above timeframes, you can find patterns and structures that support the dominant trend on a much higher timeframe like D1 and H4.
DOES PRICE ACTION WORK ON SYNTHETIC INDICES
Price action in the trading environment refers to market price reactions to important support and resistance zones, supply and demand, consolidations, order blocks, and other factors.
These price actions can fail at times, especially when there is high-impact news that can disrupt the market structure by breaking those zones, but this is not the case with synthetic indices.
Price action works well on synthetic indices and it works even better as there is no expected global news to disrupt the indices’ main trend.
Because the behavior of synthetic indices is generated at random, it will respond better to support and resistance zones than traditional trading instruments, making it ideal for price action.
