The best free Deriv bots to start with, and what each one does

/4 min read

If you are looking for free Deriv bots, the hard part is not finding files. It is finding a strategy whose rule you can actually read before you run it. This is a tour of the ready-made strategies on BinaryTick, every one of them free, with the rule each one trades and the kind of session it produces.

Nothing here is a download. Each strategy is a card on the platform: it states how it trades in plain words, exposes every setting on its face, and runs on your Deriv account the moment you press Run.

Start here: the digit strategies

Digit contracts settle on the last digit of the price, which makes them the easiest family to reason about. There are ten outcomes, they are equally likely, and the arithmetic is visible.

Under 8 buys Under 8 on every trade. Digits 0 through 7 win, which is eight outcomes in ten. Frequent small wins, occasional larger losses. It is the steadiest thing to watch while you learn what the run panel is telling you.

Over 1 is the mirror image, running on a one second market. Same eight in ten shape, roughly twice the pace, so a session's worth of data arrives in half the time.

Over 3 / Under 7 reads the digit from the last trade and alternates. If it was 0 to 3, the next trade is Over 3, otherwise Under 7. That blend works out to a hit rate around 66%, which sits between the two extremes.

Digit Differs bets the next digit differs from the last one. Nine wins in ten. The highest hit rate on the platform, and the clearest demonstration of why a hit rate is not the whole story.

Lucky Digit is the inverse: it bets the next digit is exactly the barrier you picked. About one win in ten, paying roughly nine times the stake. Long quiet stretches, then a jump.

Even / Odd Switcher buys Even until a trade loses, then switches to Odd, and keeps alternating. Close to a coin flip, and a clean way to see how a switching rule behaves over a few hundred trades.

The trend and momentum strategies

These use price movement rather than digits, so they suit the volatility indices where the price actually travels.

Rise / Fall Momentum counts consecutive rising or falling ticks and buys continuation once the run reaches a threshold you set. Change the threshold from three ticks to five and you have a noticeably more selective strategy.

Rise / Fall Switcher alternates direction and defaults to a Jump index, where price moves in steps rather than smoothly. Expect its results to arrive in bursts.

SMA Trend buys in the direction of a moving average. SMA Reversion ships as its deliberate mirror, buying against it, so you can run the same idea both ways and compare the two side by side. That pairing is the fastest lesson in strategy testing available on the platform.

RSI Reversal waits for the relative strength index to reach a level you set before it buys.

Bollinger Bounce trades moves back toward the middle of a Bollinger band.

Which to run first

If you have never run a bot, start with Under 8 on a demo balance. It trades often, it wins often, and the losses are small enough that you can watch the sequence without flinching. Within an hour you will understand the run panel, the journal, and what the four risk settings do.

Then run Digit Differs and Lucky Digit back to back. They are opposite ends of the same trade, and running both teaches more about variance than any article can, this one included.

After that, pick one of the trend strategies and start changing a single setting at a time.

The settings you get on every card

This is the part that matters more than the entry rule, and it is identical across every strategy:

  • Duration and stake, so you can set the pace and the size.
  • Martingale multiplier, which defaults to 1, meaning a flat stake. See how the multiplier works before you raise it.
  • Max stake, the ceiling on any martingale sequence.
  • Stop loss and take profit, which end a session in both directions.
  • Max losses in a row, which catches a bad run by its pattern rather than by its size.

You change any of these on the card and press Run. No editor, no file, no code.

You can open any of them

Every ready-made strategy can be opened in the block editor, where you see exactly how it is assembled and can change the logic itself. That is the real advantage of a strategy you did not download: you can read it, you can tune it, and you can explain it.

If you already have a strategy of your own, load your DBot or Binary Bot XML and it runs on the same account, next to everything else.

What it costs

Nothing. There is no subscription and no per-bot fee. Every account starts on a demo balance of virtual funds, so you can run all twelve of these today, compare them, and pick the one that suits how you like to trade.

Try any of this on a demo account.
