Trade shifting market volatility with Volatility Switch Indices
What if you could trade a synthetic index that doesn’t just move randomly, but shifts through distinct phases of market activity, much like real markets? That’s what Volatility Switch Indices (VSI) offer: a structured way to trade changing volatility, all within one instrument.
VSI is now available on Deriv, ready for you to explore. Each index cycles through low, medium, and high volatility phases in a continuous cycle, offering a dynamic and realistic synthetic market experience.
What makes Volatility Switch Indices different from trading other Synthetic Indices?
Most synthetic indices operate at a fixed volatility level or behave unpredictably. VSI introduces a structured cycle of changing conditions.
Each phase is defined by how much the index is expected to move with different levels of volatility:
- VSI Low: 10-25% volatility, with longer regime durations and steadier conditions
- VSI Medium: 50-100% volatility, offering a balanced mix of variability and pace
- VSI High: 100-200% volatility, with faster regime switching and more intense market behaviour
Rather than switching between indices to match changing market conditions, VSI gives you all three volatility phases in a single instrument.
Why traders should explore Volatility Switch Indices
Built for changing market behaviour, VSI allows traders to explore volatility trading strategies by offering:
- Predefined volatility regimes: Trade across low, medium, and high volatility phases — all within a single instrument
- Strategy flexibility: Adjust your strategy based on how volatility may evolve
- Dynamic spreads: Spread levels adjust based on the current volatility phase
- 24/7 availability: Trade any time, unaffected by real-world news or events
