Crash indices are synthetic trading instruments available through Deriv. To access them on MT5, you need to create a compatible trading account with Deriv and connect it to the MetaTrader 5 application, and in this blog post, I am going to show you how to do just that.

The process involves three main steps:

1. Creating a Deriv trading account that supports synthetic indices
2. Connecting your Deriv account to the MT5 mobile app
3. Adding crash indices to the MT5 Quotes tab

Let’s get started.

Here is a video tutorial on how to add any crash indices instrument on MT5

How to Create a Deriv Account for Crash Indices

Before you can trade Crash indices on MT5, you first need to sign up with Deriv and create a trading account that supports synthetic indices.

If you don’t already have a Deriv account, you can register using this signup link.

1. Sign Up on Deriv

Visit the Deriv registration page using the link in the video description.

Once you open the registration page, select your country of residence and click Sign Up.

You will then be given different options for creating your account.

You can sign up using:

• Google account
• Facebook account
• Apple account

Alternatively, you can enter your email address manually and complete the email verification process.

If you choose to register using your email address, enter it in the appropriate field and click Next.

Follow the instructions to verify your email address and complete your registration.

Once you have successfully signed up, log in to your Deriv account.

If you already have a Deriv account, you can skip this step and proceed directly to your dashboard.

How to Create a Synthetic Indices Trading Account on Deriv

After logging in to your Deriv account, the next step is to create a trading account that supports crash indices and other synthetic indices.

Deriv provides different trading account options, but you need to select the appropriate account type for the instruments you want to trade.

1. Navigate to the Available Accounts Section

From your Deriv dashboard, locate the CFDs section at the bottom-left corner of the page.

You should see your existing trading accounts and the available account options you can create.

Depending on the options available on your dashboard, you may see account types such as:

• CFD Standard
• Swap-Free
• Financial
• cTrader
• Zero Spread

2. Select the CFD Standard Account

If you want to trade crash indices and other synthetic indices through Deriv MT5, select the CFD Standard account.

Click on CFD Standard to open its account details page.

This account supports several markets, including:

• Forex
• Stock indices
• Cryptocurrency
• Synthetic indices
• Stocks
• Commodities
• Exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
• Basket indices

Since our goal is to trade crash indices, this CFD is the perfect option because it contains the synthetic index instruments offered by Deriv.

3. Review the Account Specifications

Before activating your account, review the trading conditions displayed on the account information page.

In the page, the displayed account specifications include:

• Maximum leverage: Up to 1:1,000.
• Spread: From 0.1 pips.
• Commission: No commission.
• Minimum deposit: $1.

These are the specifications shown during the recording and may change. Always check Deriv’s current account conditions before opening or funding a trading account.

Remember that leverage can magnify both profits and losses. Trading synthetic indices involves risk, and you should understand the account conditions before trading with real money.

4. Activate Your Real Trading Account

Once you have reviewed the account specifications, click Activate Real Account.

You will then be prompted to create a password for your Deriv MT5 trading account.

This password is important because you will need it when connecting your account to the MT5 application.

Enter a password that you can remember and keep it somewhere secure.

Once your account has been successfully created, you should see the CFD Standard account added to your trading accounts.

You can now proceed to connect it to MT5.

These details allow the MT5 application to connect to the correct Deriv trading server.

Copy your MT5 login ID from the account details page.

You will need it when connecting your Deriv account to the MT5 mobile application.

Also, make sure you remember the MT5 password you created during account activation.
