All You Need To Know About Boom And Crash

Boom and Crash indices have been around for some years now, but yet, most traders still find it difficult to understand, talkless of trading it, what most people do, is that instead of them to seek for knowledge, they tend to use ideas of currency pair trading, which is not always applicable, and therefore lands their account into reds. In this post, I will try my best to break it down as much as possible, so that even a newbie will have a good understanding of it. Also, I will reveal proven methods of how to successfully trade them profitably. All you need to do is grab a glass of water or coffee and feel relaxed as you read through.

What Exactly is Boom and Crash?

Boom & Crash indices are types of synthetic indices exclusive to only Binary.com/Deriv. They have distinctive and specific behavior.  They are juicy markets and are very profitable when traders get the right knowledge and skill. The presence of Spikes makes them special from other synthetic indices.

They are of three (3) pairs and are:

• Boom and Crash 1000 Indices
• Boom and Crash 500 Indices
• Boom and Crash 300 indices

I will explain the pairs separately for better understanding:

Boom Indices

• It is one of the special indices from Deriv
• It is of three types which are Boom 500, Boom 300 & Boom 1000
• Boom 500 will give  twice what Boom 1000 will give you (under the same condition e.g. Lot size, time on entry and exit)
• Its normal trend is Downtrend; which means you have to place a Sell order to trade its normal trend profitably.

Crash Indices

• It is the other special indices from Deriv
• It is the inverse of the Boom Index It is also of three types which are Crash 300, 500 & Crash 1000
• Crash 500 will also give  twice what Crash 1000 will give you (under the same condition e.g. Lot size, time on entry and exit)
• Its normal trend is Uptrend; which means you have to place a Buy order to trade its normal trend profitably

How to Trade Boom and Crash Profitably

There are just two proven manual ways/methods of trading Boom & Crash profitably and are:

Trading The Normal Trends:

This involves placing a Sell order for Boom, and a Buy order for Crash. This method is very risky compared to the second method because, in this particular method, you will be trading against spikes.

However, with a proper and accurate analysis using Price-action Strategy, you can still trade it profitably.

Trading of Spikes:

This simply means trading against their normal trend i.e. placing a Buy order for Boom and a Sell order for Crash. This method is the safest and also fastest way to make your money if you know how to go about it.
