Deriv Launches Tactical Indices for Automated Trading

Deriv launches Tactical Indices, empowering traders with automated tools for seamless execution and advanced trading strategies. Deriv has launched Tactical Indices, an innovative tool designed to automate trading strategies using technical indicators. By eliminating the need for manual rebalancing, this tool enables traders to efficiently respond to market trends, momentum, and reversals. Deriv, a forex and contracts for differences (CFDs) broker, has expanded its suite of trading tools with the introduction of ‘Tactical Indices,’ aimed at eliminating the need for manual rebalancing.

Deriv Launches Tactical Indices Revolutionizing Execution

Deriv’s new tool automatically executes predefined rules based on technical indicators, enabling traders to benefit from momentum, trend reversals, and other market dynamics without constant rebalancing or incurring related costs.

“Tactical Indices bridge the gap between complex trading strategies and seamless execution,” explained Prakash Bhudia, Head of Product and Growth at Deriv. “We’re empowering traders to use advanced techniques like trend following and pairs trading while removing the barriers of manual intervention and overhead.”

The initial version of Tactical Indices includes four strategies based on the RSI indicator, using silver as the underlying asset. Two momentum-based indices enable traders to capitalize on upward or downward trends in silver prices, while the other two target upward or downward trend reversals with contrarian strategies. Deriv has integrated these tools across its platforms, including MetaTrader 5, cTrader, and Deriv X.

Deriv plans to expand the Tactical Indices offering in the first half of 2025, incorporating a broader range of technical indicators, strategies, and asset classes, such as MACD, Bollinger Bands, and pairs trading.

Advancing Amid Industry Stagnation

While innovation in trading products has slowed, some companies continue to push boundaries. Australia-based 26 Degrees recently launched Pairs CFDs, providing a single price ratio between two assets, including gold. Over 20 percent of its global brokerage client base has adopted or plans to adopt these products.

Prop trading is another growing trend among CFDs brokers. Though an established concept, its popularity has surged in recent years. Major CFD brokers such as OANDA, Axi, Trade.com, IC Markets, and others now offer prop trading services alongside standard CFD offerings. Despite its growing popularity, prop trading remains unregulated, with several regulators currently reviewing these products.
