Trading Synthetic Indices: No news, no sessions, no story. Just your process

Learn how synthetic indices are generated, what the volatility number means, why trading around the clock needs your own limits, and why no move is ever "due". Then run the five-step framework on synthetics, with Scout alerts as a prompt to check, not an order.

What you'll be able to do

Learn it in minutes, then use it

Each lesson is a few short ideas, each one tried straight away in a small activity: a calculation, a chart to mark up, a trade to take or skip.

  • Explain how synthetic indices are generated and why no news moves them
  • Read a volatility level and know what it means for your stop
  • Set your own hours and loss limits for a market that never closes
  • Spot the gambler’s fallacy before it sizes your next trade
  • Size a synthetic trade from your broker’s Specification
  • Grade a synthetic setup through Context, Zone, Trigger, Risk and Manage
