⚠ Auto-detect is experimental. It connects to Deriv's public WebSocket to read live tick data and auto-logs moves larger than 10x the recent tick average. Tag ⚡A = auto-logged · Tag M = manual. Keep manual mode as your primary source of truth while you evaluate auto accuracy.

What Boom & Crash Actually Are

Synthetic Index Mechanics

Boom and Crash are algorithmically generated synthetic indices created by Deriv. They don't track any real-world asset — prices come from a cryptographically secure random number generator, audited for fairness.

BOOM

Small down-ticks + rare sudden UP spike

trade: wait for spike / scalp the dips

CRASH

Small up-ticks + rare sudden DOWN spike

trade: wait for spike / scalp the rips

THE NUMBER

500/1000/300/600 = avg ticks between spikes

lower number = more frequent spikes

Time Mode vs Tick Mode

⏱ TIME MODE

Primary display: elapsed time since last spike. Tick count shown as secondary estimate.

 ✓ Always accurate — counts real time
 ✓ Never drifts
 ✓ Works after you come back to the tab
 Best for: all trading, default choice 

# TICK MODE

Primary display: estimated tick count since last spike (auto-incremented by timer at expected tick rate).

 ✓ Familiar "tick" framing
 ✓ Matches Deriv's tick counter
 ⚠ Estimate — drifts if rate is off
 Best for: quick visual readiness check 

Tick Rates by Instrument

Default Tick Rates (editable in Settings)

INSTRUMENT	AVG SPIKE EVERY	TICK RATE	TIME BETWEEN SPIKES ≈
Boom 300	300 ticks	1 tick / 2 sec	~10 min
Boom 500	500 ticks	1 tick / 1 sec	~8 min 20 sec
Boom 600	600 ticks	1 tick / 2 sec	~20 min
Boom 1000	1000 ticks	1 tick / 1 sec	~16 min 40 sec
Crash 300	300 ticks	1 tick / 2 sec	~10 min
Crash 500	500 ticks	1 tick / 1 sec	~8 min 20 sec
Crash 600	600 ticks	1 tick / 2 sec	~20 min
Crash 1000	1000 ticks	1 tick / 1 sec	~16 min 40 sec

Rates are averages. Actual spike timing is random — the "average" only holds over many spikes. If Deriv changes tick rates, correct them in Settings.

Trading Approaches

▲ SPIKE HUNTER

Wait until the counter is at or past the expected average. Enter in spike direction (long for Boom, short for Crash) with defined stop. If no spike comes, exit and re-enter.

Target: capture the spike · Risk: spike delays, your stop hits first

▼ COUNTER-TREND SCALPER

Trade the baseline drift AGAINST the spike direction. Buy dips on Crash (baseline drifts up), sell rips on Boom (baseline drifts down). Exit before expected spike window.

Target: accumulate small wins · Risk: unexpected spike wipes many scalps

Honest Caveats

⚠ What This Tool Can & Cannot Do

CAN: Track your actual spike timing history, surface statistical patterns, enforce discipline (by making you log and reflect), export data for deeper analysis.

CANNOT: Predict the next spike. Boom/Crash are designed to be random within their distribution. If the "average" is 500 ticks, the next spike could be at tick 50 or tick 2000. Probability shifts with elapsed time but certainty never arrives.

EDGE CLAIM: The real edge on synthetic indices is discipline — correct sizing, accepting that spikes are random, not martingaling, and walking away when patterns break. This tool helps with discipline. No tool can manufacture edge that isn't there.
