Questions, answered
Everything people ask about building and running automated trading bots on Deriv with Binary Pro — including the ones most sites dodge.
Getting started
What is Binary Pro?
Binary Pro is a web-based strategy builder for trading digital options. You build your own automated trading bot by dragging blocks together — no code, no installs. It runs in your browser, trades through the Deriv API, and installs as an app on desktop and mobile.
Is Binary Pro free?
Completely. The bot builder, all twelve ready-made bots, the 14 quick-strategy templates, the analysis tools and the backtester are free with no limits and no trial period. You need a Deriv account only when you want to place a real trade — and a demo account costs nothing and lasts forever.
Do I need to know how to code?
Not a line. Strategies snap together from blocks, much like Scratch. And if you'd rather skip building altogether, load a quick strategy or one of the free bots and start from something that already works.
How long does it take to get a bot running?
Loading a ready-made bot and running it on a demo account takes about two minutes. Building your own from scratch with the step-by-step guide takes roughly fifteen.
Is Binary Pro the same as Deriv Bot?
Binary Pro is an independent tool built on Deriv's open-source bot project and public API — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Deriv. Bots exported from Deriv Bot as XML load here, and ours load there. More about the project.
Which countries can use it?
The tool works anywhere, but trading needs a Deriv account and Deriv isn't available in every country — the United States and United Kingdom among them. It's widely used across Africa and Southeast Asia. Check Deriv's terms for the current list before signing up.
Building a bot
Where do I find the blocks I need?
Open Bot Builder. The Blocks menu on the left groups everything into categories — pick one and drag it onto the workspace. There's a search bar above the categories if you already know the block's name.
How do I create variables?
Go to Utility > Variables in the Blocks menu, type a name, and hit Create. New blocks holding that variable appear below, ready to drag in.
How do I remove blocks from the workspace?
Click the block and press Delete.
How do I reset the workspace?
Hit Reset on the Bot Builder toolbar. It clears everything, so save first if you want to keep what's there.
What is a quick strategy?
A template you fill in rather than build. Choose the strategy, set the asset, trade type and parameters, and hit Run — the blocks are generated onto the workspace for you, fully editable. Fourteen ship with Binary Pro: Martingale, D'Alembert, Oscar's Grind, their reverse variants, 1-3-2-6, and Accumulator versions of each.
Do you offer pre-built trading bots?
Yes, two ways. Quick strategy builds a bot from a template you configure, and the Free Bots tab holds twelve finished strategies you can load in one click or download as XML.
Do you sell trading bots?
No — everything here is free, downloads included. Worth knowing: bots sold elsewhere for real money are almost always one of the same staking plans you can generate here in thirty seconds with a quick strategy.
Saving, importing and exporting
How do I save my strategy?
Hit Save on the Bot Builder toolbar, name it, and send it to your device or your Google Drive. It saves as an XML file.
How do I import my own trading bot?
Drag the XML file straight onto the workspace and it loads. Or hit Import and choose Local for your device or Google Drive for the cloud.
How do I clear my transaction log?
Hit Reset at the bottom of the stats panel, then Ok.
Running a bot
How do I control my losses?
Every quick strategy has a loss threshold built in — the bot stops itself once total losses reach the figure you set, and a profit threshold does the same on the way up. Setting a maximum stake matters just as much on recovery strategies like Martingale.
Building from scratch? Create a Stop loss threshold variable under Run once at start, then use a logic block to compare Total profit/loss (under Analysis > Stats) against it in your restart conditions.
If I close my browser, does the bot keep running?
No. Binary Pro runs in your browser rather than on a server, so closing the tab stops the bot. Nothing trades while you're away.
Can I run Binary Pro in multiple browser tabs?
Yes. Just remember your Deriv account caps the number of open positions and the total payout across them — you'll find the figures under Settings > Account limits in your Deriv account.
Can I trade cryptocurrencies?
No. Binary Pro covers Deriv's synthetic indices and digital options. Crypto markets aren't offered.
The straight answers
Is there a "no loss" Deriv bot?
No, and sites offering one are lying to you. Synthetic indices are produced by a random number generator with a fixed house edge published per contract, so no arrangement of stake sizes turns a series of negative-expectation trades positive. A bot that appears never to lose is one that hasn't hit its losing run yet — Martingale bots look perfect right up to the moment they don't.
The useful thing a bot actually does is remove hesitation and enforce your limits exactly, every time, without second-guessing. That is worth a great deal. A crystal ball it is not.
Do the analysis tools predict the next digit?
No. They describe the last 100 to 1,000 ticks. Because synthetic indices are randomly generated, past digit frequency tells you nothing about the next tick — a digit appearing 14% of the time across 500 ticks is ordinary noise. The tools are excellent for understanding a market and for testing other people's claims; they are not entry signals.
Does "Signal AI" use artificial intelligence?
No. The name is a holdover. Signal AI and the related tools are deterministic statistics — they count last digits across recent ticks and chart the distribution. No model, no prediction. We'd rather say so than let the label mislead you.
Which strategy makes the most money?
The honest answer is that they differ in the shape of their results rather than the average: Martingale gives frequent small wins and rare deep losses, reverse staking gives frequent small losses and rare big wins, and 1-3-2-6 fixes your worst case per sequence. Put your actual numbers into the backtester and pick the shape you can live with.
What are the most popular strategies for automated trading?
Martingale, D'Alembert and Oscar's Grind, and all three ship as quick strategies. Full guides: Martingale, D'Alembert, Oscar's Grind, or browse all six.
How do I build a trading bot?
Follow the step-by-step guide — four block groups, about fifteen minutes, and you'll have a bot running on a demo account.
