The 5 Families of Synthetic Indices
Click each type to see how it behaves and who it suits.
Volatility Indices
V10 · V25 · V50 · V75 · V100
The most traded synthetics. Each index maintains a constant volatility level — V75 simulates 75% annual volatility. Higher number = wilder moves = bigger risk and reward.
Continuous ticks every second, 24/7. V75 is famous for explosive spikes; V10 moves gently.
Scalpers and traders who want constant action with mathematically stable behaviour.

Switch between index types and watch the characteristic behaviour live — spikes, steps, jumps and ranges.
Illustrative visual simulation of each index's documented behaviour — not live market data. Real synthetic feeds are available inside your broker's platform.
Leverage on Synthetic Indices
High leverage available on V10–V100, but higher leverage magnifies both spikes and losses.
Spike behaviour means a stop loss is essential — never max out leverage on these.
Lower leverage is wiser given the 30x jump events on Jump indices.
Leverage figures are indicative maximums offered by leading providers and vary by region and account type. Higher leverage dramatically increases risk of total loss.

How Synthetic Prices Are Generated
Secure random engine
A cryptographically secure random number generator produces a stream of numbers that nobody — not even the broker — can predict or alter.
Volatility model
The stream feeds a mathematical model calibrated to the index spec: V75 maps numbers to moves matching 75% annualised volatility; Boom 500 injects an upward spike on average every 500 ticks.
Independent audit
Reputable providers have the generator and its fairness independently audited, and publish tick history so anyone can verify behaviour matches the spec.
