Synthetic indices trading
Unlock 24/7 opportunities on virtual markets
What are synthetic indices?
Synthetic indices simulate real-world price movements through cryptographically secure random number generators. They are completely unaffected by external factors, such as economic events or news – perfect for traders who are looking for consistent patterns and levels of volatility.
