Secure and
responsible trading
Trading online can be exciting, but it’s important to be reminded that there are risks involved. We encourage all our users to secure their accounts and trade responsibly to experience the best in online trading.
Securing your account
Use strong and varied passwords. Make them as difficult as possible for anyone to guess.
Use a secure web browser such as Google Chrome. Always install the latest software updates because they include security patches.
Keep your login details secure and enable two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorised usage of your account.
Use antivirus and firewalls to further secure your devices.
Trading responsibly
Understand the risks of online trading. Never trade using borrowed money or money you can’t afford to lose.
Use our free demo account, and trade with unlimited virtual funds. It’s the easiest way to learn how to use our products.
Set a limit for your losses, and stick to it. Put aside some of your winnings to avoid losing all your money.
Trade wisely, and don’t let your emotions influence your decisions. Don’t trade when you’re prone to bad judgement.
Trading limits and self-exclusion
Deriv provides you with the opportunity to either self-exclude or set limits on your trading activities in your account settings. You can:
Limit the amount of money you may trade within a specified period.
Limit the losses you may incur within a specified period.
Limit the amount of time you may trade in a session.
Exclude yourself from trading on our website for a definite or indefinite period.
How trading limits and self-exclusion work
You have full control over your trading limits. You can set, remove, increase, or decrease limits on your stake amount, losses incurred, and duration of trading sessions at any time.
If you wish to bar yourself from trading on our site, set self-exclusion limits. There’s a minimum period of 6 months for self-exclusion after which you may extend it to a total of 5 years or resume trading immediately after expiration.
When you’ve set your self-exclusion period, we will refund your account balance.
If you wish to reduce or remove the self-exclusion period, contact customer support
