CFD Trading
You can trade CFDs on popular markets, including the broker's exclusive synthetic indices which are available 24/7. There are plenty of charting tools available for technical traders, including over 20 indicators in the Deriv Trader platform. New users can also open an account and start trading CFDs instantly.

Forex Trading
Clients can go long or short on a string of major, minor and exotic currency pairs. Spreads on EUR/USD are competitive at 0.5 pips, only marginally trailing the 0.4-pip spreads at alternatives like Alpari. Forex CFDs are available via MT5 and multipliers on the broker's beginner-friendly DTrader.

Crypto Trading
