Let’s begin.

Available Symbols for Trading Over/Under

Deriv Digit trading is available on 14 Synthetic pairs which are the Volatility and Jump Indices, which are available for 24×7 trading, even on weekends.

The following symbols are available for trading ‘over and under’ digit trading type.

Trading Mechanism

• Step 1: Choose a symbol of your choice or preference. 
• Step 2: Choose tick size. Tick size can vary from 1 to 10.
• Step 3: Choose a digit from 0 to 9 that you think will be ‘over’ or ‘under’ the last digit of the symbol after a certain number of ticks.
• Let’s look at an example if you choose the number ‘6’ and tick size ‘5’. then after 5 ticks, the last digit number should be above 6 or below 6. More examples are given below.
• Step 4: Choose the Stake size. If you choose 1 USD, the payouts of your investment for each type will be shown below. 

The above picture shows that we have chosen 1 USD as a stake amount and the payouts for both types are displayed below.  2.44 USD if you choose ‘Over’ and 1.96 USD if you choose ‘Under’. Additional details of the percentage of return are also displayed. 144% return for ‘Over’ and 96% return for ‘Under’.

Note: Return depends on the odds. If the trade has more odd chance of winning, then the return will be high (just like a casino). If the trade has a higher chance to win then it will have a lower return.

Tick Statistics

It is an important component. Here the statistic displays the last 1000 ticks’ last digit number and their occurrence percentages. One must not ignore this little info before entering a trade here. It plays a huge role in the chance of winning.

Strategy

The best strategy here will be to choose the last digit as 0. Yes, it may seem odd, but it works (not all the time, nothing is perfect in this world, but it keeps you in the probable winning zone). Next, place ‘over’ trade but only when digit statistics show that 0 has the lowest or lower occurrence status. Always select tick size from 5-10. Since it will give more room to your luck.

Example:

Here, it’s been showing that 0 has appeared 10.6% time, and 1 has appeared 8.9% time, which is displayed in red as the lowest occurrence. 

We shall wait for 0 to be displayed in red for that’s a good entry zone. Otherwise, if you wanna take the risk or don’t want to wait, go ahead and choose 0, since it has a 10% chance of occurring. 

We’ve selected the ‘over’ option since ‘under’ has no trade as we’ve selected zero, it has a maximum winning rate that’s why the payout is also low around 9%, but still safer. It’s better to play safe than lose it all, isn’t it?

• Tick size: 7
• Number selected: 0
• Payout: 9

So yes! We have won the trade.

Money Management

Note that with this strategy you will get 9% per trade, but you will lose 100% if the trade fails. Therefore, it is recommended that consecutive trades not be continued for too long. If you win 5-6 times consecutively per day, It is good for your portfolio. We don’t recommend getting greedy and going overboard.

Conclusion

Since it is part of the gambling section, we strictly recommend understanding the risk thoroughly and trading only when you feel lucky and do not invest too much out of greed.

Good Luck and happy trading.
