Deriv Jump Indices (Jump 10–100): How the Jumps Work and How to Manage the Risk
How Jump Indices Work
- The number (10–100) is the volatility of the normal movement.
- On top of that, random jumps appear, on average about 3 per hour.
- Jumps are equally likely up or down, so they cannot be "traded" in a direction.
Jump Index vs Boom/Crash
| Jump indices | Boom / Crash | |
|---|---|---|
| Jump direction | Up or down, random | One direction per index |
| Drift | None | Steady drift between spikes |
| Typical use | Breakout and trend trades with stops | Drift or spike trades (guide) |
Risk Rules for Jump Indices
- Always place a stop-loss before entry. A jump can skip far past a mental stop.
- Risk at most 1% of your balance per trade.
- Avoid stacking several trades in the same direction.
- Trade the minimum volume on demo for at least two weeks.
A Demo Practice Plan (One Week)
- Day 1: watch Jump 25 and Jump 75 for an hour; count the jumps you see.
- Day 2–3: place demo trades with stop-losses set before entry.
- Day 4: measure how far jumps move past your stop (slippage).
- Day 5–7: adjust size so one jump never costs more than 1% of the balance.
Common Mistakes
- Trading without a stop-loss.
- Holding many positions in the same direction.
- Assuming the next jump will go your way.
- Using the same lot size as on V10.
