How Volatility Indices works
Deriv describes constant-volatility markets from lower to very high volatility levels, with normal and faster tick variants on selected instruments.
Variants / mechanics
What matters most
- Continuous random movement
- No scheduled crash/boom event mechanic
- Higher stated volatility means larger price movement risk
- 24/7 availability
