Multipliers on Deriv


Multipliers are a unique contract type available on Deriv that allows you to amplify your potential profit on synthetic indices (and other assets) without increasing your risk beyond your initial stake. They combine the best aspects of margin trading with the defined risk of options.

What Are Multipliers?

A multiplier contract amplifies the price movement of an asset by a chosen multiple. If you select a x100 multiplier and the market moves 1% in your favor, your profit is 100% of your stake.

How They Differ from CFDs:

Available Multiplier Values

Depending on the instrument:

• x10, x20, x30, x40, x50
• x60, x75, x100, x150, x200
• x300, x400, x500 (some instruments)
• x1000 (select instruments only)

Higher Multiplier = Higher Risk

• x10: 10% price movement needed to double your stake
• x100: 1% price movement needed to double your stake
• x500: 0.2% price movement needed to double your stake
• x1000: 0.1% price movement needed to double your stake

How Multipliers Work — Example

Scenario: Buying V75 with x100 Multiplier

• Stake: $10
• Multiplier: x100
• Effective position: $10 x 100 = $1,000 exposure
• If V75 goes up 1%: Profit = $1,000 x 1% = $10 (100% return on stake)
• If V75 goes down 1%: Loss = $10 (your entire stake — maximum loss)
• If V75 goes down 2%: Loss is still $10 (you are stopped out, cannot lose more)

Stop Out and Deal Cancellation

Stop Out:

When the market moves against you enough to equal your stake, the contract automatically closes. This is the built-in risk protection — you can never lose more than what you put in.

Deal Cancellation:

Deal cancellation is a paid feature that allows you to cancel a losing multiplier contract within a specified time (1, 5, 15, or 60 minutes) and recover your full stake.

1. When opening a multiplier, toggle on "Deal Cancellation"
2. Choose duration (1, 5, 15, or 60 minutes)
3. Pay a small fee (shown before confirming)
4. If the trade goes against you, cancel within the time window
5. Your stake is returned minus the cancellation fee

• During uncertain market conditions
• When entering with large multipliers (x200+)
• When trading volatile indices (V75, V100)
• When you are not confident about the trade direction

Take Profit and Stop Loss on Multipliers

Take Profit:

• Set a target profit amount or price level
• The contract closes automatically when your target is reached
• You can adjust take profit while the contract is open

Stop Loss:

• Set a maximum loss amount (less than your stake)
• Allows you to exit before the automatic stop out
• Example: With a $100 stake, set stop loss at $50 to limit loss to $50 instead of $100

Strategy: Multiplier Trading on Synthetics

Conservative Approach:

1. Use x20 or x50 multiplier
2. Stake 2-5% of your account
3. Set stop loss at 50% of your stake
4. Set take profit at 100% of your stake (2:1 ratio)
5. Use deal cancellation for the first 5 minutes
6. Risk per trade: 1-2.5% of total account

Aggressive Approach:

1. Use x100 or x200 multiplier
2. Stake 1-2% of your account
3. No stop loss (rely on automatic stop out)
4. Set take profit at 200-500% of stake
5. Use deal cancellation for 15 minutes
6. Risk per trade: 1-2% of total account
