How to Use Speed Bot
- Open H-BOT Africa and choose Speed Bot (demo account first).
- Pick a market and a digit contract.
- Set the stake (start at the minimum), take-profit and stop-loss.
- Leave martingale off, or cap it at a few steps.
- Start, watch, and stop when either limit is hit.

| Plan | Trades | End | Lowest | Highest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed stake | 2000 | 50.25 | 42.60 | 64.37 |
| Martingale, capped at 4 steps | 2000 | 36.86 | 19.67 | 110.95 |
| Martingale, no cap | 302 | 49.87 | 41.84 | 106.30 |
The uncapped plan looked great early, then one losing streak made the next stake larger than the whole balance and the run stopped. The capped plan swung from about $111 down to about $37.

One Long Session (All 20,000 Ticks)
| Money plan | Trades placed | Result |
|---|---|---|
| fixed stake | 10,756 | −$49.75 (account wiped) |
| martingale x2 uncapped | 42 | −$49.38 (account wiped) |
| martingale x2 cap4 | 1,391 | −$47.93 (account wiped) |
| fixed with limits tp2 sl5 | 27 | +$2.15 |
Even a fixed stake loses over thousands of trades because of the payout edge. A take-profit and stop-loss ended the session early and kept the gain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is martingale safe on Deriv Speed Bot?
No. On real data, uncapped martingale wiped a $50 account in 99.7% of 300 test runs.
What is the best Speed Bot setting?
A fixed small stake with a take-profit and stop-loss, and martingale off or tightly capped.
Why does a fixed stake still lose over time?
Each contract pays slightly less than fair odds, so thousands of trades add up to a loss; limits help you stop earlier.
How many trades should a Speed Bot session run?
Keep sessions short and stop at your take-profit or stop-loss.
