Multi-Symbol Expert Advisor for Deriv Synthetic Indices (Single-Chart Deployment)
1. Overview
Index Synthetics EA is an algorithmic multi-symbol Expert Advisor developed for Deriv Synthetic Indices. It is designed to monitor and trade up to 39 synthetic instruments from a single EA instance using a diversified execution engine. (Easy Setup)
The system includes instrument-specific logic and filters intended to adapt to the different volatility characteristics of each synthetic index. The approach prioritizes disciplined risk controls and selective entries rather than high trade frequency.
This product is actively maintained and may receive updates to improve stability and adapt to changing market behavior.
2. Key Features
-
Multi-symbol execution from a single chart (up to 39 Deriv synthetic symbols).
-
Instrument-specific logic and adaptive filtering based on volatility and behavior.
-
Risk-oriented design aimed at controlled exposure and consistency.
-
Selective entries with controlled trade frequency.
-
Simplified deployment: one EA instance handles all supported indices automatically.
3. Setup and Usage Notes (Please Read)
For correct operation, please read this description and follow the setup instructions before running the EA. Incorrect configuration (especially running multiple EA instances or using non-recommended lot sizes) can lead to unexpected behavior and unintended risk exposure.
This EA is designed for Deriv MT5 Synthetic Indices. It automatically detects supported symbols from the connected Deriv server and manages multi-symbol monitoring and trading from a single EA instance.
Recommended start configuration: attach the EA to Step Index on the H1 timeframe and keep only one instance running. (Never change the timeframe while the EA is running)
Note: Backtest execution may take several hours due to the complexity of the system and the downloading of data packages for all the symbols the system trades. Please be patient when running a backtest.
4. Important Usage Rule (Single-Chart Only)
This EA contains a multi-symbol engine. It must be attached to one chart only. Running multiple instances may result in duplicated trades and unintended risk escalation.
Correct usage:
-
Attach the EA to one chart only.
-
Recommended setup: Step Index, H1 timeframe. (Never change the timeframe while the EA is running)
-
The EA will monitor and trade all supported indices from that single chart.
If you attached it to multiple charts:
-
Remove the EA from all charts.
-
Keep only one instance running.
-
If positions were duplicated, reduce exposure carefully before continuing.
5. Capital Requirement and Lot Scaling
Minimum recommended capital: 500 USD
The lot table below is designed for a 500 USD account balance and represents a low-risk configuration.
If your account balance is different, you can scale the lot sizes proportionally using the following formula:
New Lot Size = Table Lot Size × (Your Capital / 500)
Examples:
- For 1000 USD: multiply the table values by 2.00
- For 2000 USD: multiply the table values by 4.00
If an instrument uses an additional lot size (Lotaje2), apply the same proportional scaling.
6. Suggested Lot Table (Base: 500 USD)
This table is reviewed and updated periodically (approximately every 6 months) because the price dynamics of synthetic indices can change over time. As prices move significantly, the value per lot (price/value) also changes, which directly impacts risk. A lot size that was previously safe may become too aggressive or too conservative.
The “Market Reference Price/Value” column provides a reference level for each index. The suggested lot sizes are calibrated based on these reference values to maintain a consistent risk profile for an account balance of $500.
If the current market price deviates significantly from the reference, the effective risk will also change. For this reason, always use the latest version of the table.
Before running the EA, verify that the lot sizes in the inputs match the latest table. If they do not, update them and then scale proportionally according to your account balance using the formula provided.

7. Input Parameters (Explained)
A) MaxDailyLossPercent (Daily Loss Protection)
Purpose: Sets a daily loss threshold. If reached, the EA stops opening new trades until the next trading day (protective measure).
Default: 20.0
Important configuration note: MaxDailyLossPercent must be consistent with your lot sizes and account balance. If the account is underfunded for the selected volumes, or the daily limit is too strict, the EA may stop trading prematurely during normal intraday fluctuations.
B) BreakEvenMode (Enable_Move_SL_BE)
Purpose: Moves Stop Loss to break-even after the trade reaches predefined progress levels.
Default: false
Trade-off:
-
Advantage: can reduce drawdowns and protect capital.
-
Consideration: may reduce long-term performance if positions are closed too early during normal retracements.
C) Break-Even Levels (60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%)
Used only when BreakEvenMode is enabled.
Default: 95%
D) MagicNumber (InpMagicNumber)
Purpose: Identifies trades opened by this EA for isolated management.
Default: 12345678
8. How to Start (Recommended Setup)
-
Open Deriv MT5.
-
Add all Synthetic Indices to Market Watch (Right-click -> Show All).
-
Open Step Index chart on H1 timeframe.
-
Attach the EA to this chart.
-
Enable Algo Trading / AutoTrading.
Once attached, the EA initializes the multi-symbol engine, validates symbols, and starts monitoring/trading supported indices automatically.
Operational note: To maintain stable operation, avoid frequent restarts or re-attaching the EA. If your environment is prone to disconnections, a VPS may help improve continuity. For consistent trade management, consider using a dedicated trading account and avoid mixing multiple EAs on the same account.
9. Best Practices
-
Use one EA instance on one chart only (Step Index H1 recommended).
-
Scale lot sizes proportionally to your capital.
10. Quick Troubleshooting
EA is not trading:
-
Confirm Algo Trading is enabled.
-
Confirm Market Watch is set to Show All.
-
Confirm the EA is attached to one chart only.
-
Confirm you are on the correct Deriv synthetic account/environment.
Trades are duplicated or too many positions:
-
Most common cause: EA attached to multiple charts.
-
Remove all instances and keep only one running.
