Before diving into strategy, check out our Beginners Guide — it covers everything from what VIX 75 is to reading your first chart.
VIX 75 is a Synthetic Index created by Deriv. Unlike Forex or stocks, it isn't tied to any real-world asset — it's generated by an audited random number algorithm that mimics real market conditions. That means:
The "75" refers to its volatility level — it's the most widely traded Synthetic Index for a reason. Big moves, clear structure, great for building skills.

VIX 75 moves in three phases — bullish (making Higher Highs and Higher Lows), bearish (Lower Highs and Lower Lows), and sideways. Knowing which phase you're in before you enter is the most important skill you can develop.
Look for the most recent support and resistance levels — the floors and ceilings price has respected. These are your areas of interest. You don't trade randomly; you trade at levels that mean something.
Price will come back to your levels. When it does, look for a Test (holds the level), a Rejection (strong push away), or a Violation (breaks through cleanly). That's your signal.
Risk only 1–5% of your account on a single trade — beginners should start at 1–2% and scale up as consistency builds. Set your stop loss beyond the level. Aim for a minimum 1:3 Risk:Reward ratio — that means you only need to be right 34% of the time to be profitable.
Spend at least 2–4 weeks on demo before touching a real account. The habits you build on demo are the exact habits you'll carry into live trading. Build them right.
Most beginners focus obsessively on finding the perfect entry. The entry matters — but it's not the edge. Consistency is the edge.
The traders who make money aren't the ones who win every trade. They're the ones who follow their rules every single time — same risk, same process, same discipline — and let the probabilities play out over hundreds of trades.
