01

What Volatility 75 actually represents

Volatility 75 is a synthetic index available on Deriv under symbol R_75. It is designed around a defined volatility level and does not track a company, currency or national exchange. It should not be confused with VIX, which measures volatility expectations derived from S&P 500 options.

02

Why price can move quickly

High volatility increases candle size, logical stop distance and the monetary movement of a position. A tight stop can be hit by normal noise; a wider stop requires smaller size. The goal is not to predict every candle, but to wait for structure, measure ATR and define exactly where the setup becomes invalid.

03

Data required for serious analysis

A usable analysis needs R_75 candles and a timestamped bid/ask from the same symbol. SIGNALSB checks M5, H1, H4 and D1 according to strategy, then validates BUY and SELL separately. If the provider is unavailable, the quote is stale or the direction fails backtesting, no entry price is invented.

04

Practical rules before any position

Check that the signal has not expired, your executable price remains inside the zone and the stop is on the correct side. Then calculate size with no more than 1% risk—often less on such a fast instrument. Do not multiply correlated positions or increase size to recover a loss.
