Volatility 75 Index: What It Is and How to Trade with AI Bots
The Volatility 75 Index (V75) is the most popular asset among traders running bots on Deriv. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with high volatility and accessible spreads — it’s the perfect playground for AI automation.
What is the Volatility 75 Index?
V75 is a synthetic index exclusive to Deriv. It’s not tied to any real market — it’s generated by a cryptographically secure algorithm, audited by independent third parties.
It simulates a market with 75% annualized volatility, creating constant and pattern-predictable movements — ideal for automated bots.
💡 Why is it perfect for bots?
Runs 24/7 (even on holidays), isn’t affected by economic news, has cleaner technical patterns than Forex, and Deriv encourages automation with its official API and Deriv Bot.

Strategies with AI bots on V75
Strategy 1: Rise/Fall with RSI (Deriv Bot)
- Buy Rise when RSI < 30 (oversold)
- Buy Fall when RSI > 70 (overbought)
- Duration: 5 ticks, Stake: $0.50
- Use the Analysis block in Deriv Bot to add RSI
Strategy 2: EMA Crossover (Python + API)
- EMA 9 crosses above EMA 21 → CALL
- EMA 9 crosses below EMA 21 → PUT
- Confirmation: volume above the average
- Implement via Python + Deriv API (see our complete tutorial)
Strategy 3: Digits Even/Odd (Deriv Bot)
- Bet on “Even” or “Odd” for the last digit
- Theoretical probability: 50/50 (payout ~86%)
- Combine with moderate Martingale (max 3 doublings)
- Stop loss and take profit in the Trade Again block
⚠️ Risk management is mandatory
V75 has high volatility — meaning bigger profits BUT bigger losses too. Never trade without stop loss. Start with the minimum stake ($0.35). Test on demo for weeks before considering a live account.
Tips for trading V75
- Start with the demo account: Deriv offers $10,000 in virtual funds — take your time
- Minimum stake: Start with $0.35. Scale up gradually as you learn the behavior
- Short contracts: 3-5 ticks work better than long durations on V75
