Odd Hours: how FXNOD's Deriv Odd bot works

Odd Hours at a glance

What Odd Hours trades

Odd Hours trades one contract only: Odd, from Deriv's Even / Odd family, with a length of one tick. The contract is decided by the last digit of a tick's price, which is its final decimal digit: a tick at 1234.56 ends in 6. A trade wins when the next tick ends in 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9. Five digits out of ten win, and a win pays a little less than the stake. A losing trade costs the whole stake. Deriv sets the payout, and each trade's result is listed on the run page.

When Odd Hours enters a trade

Odd Hours buys a one-tick Odd, waits for the result, then lets four ticks pass before it buys again. Entries are five ticks apart.

It is the slowest of the Even / Odd bots. It reads no pattern in the digits; the spacing is the whole of its entry rule.

Odd Hours holds one trade at a time: it looks for the next entry only after the last contract has closed. The entry rule sets when the bot trades and how often. It does not make any single trade more likely to win.

How Odd Hours sizes its stake

Odd Hours uses a flat stake. Every trade of a session is placed at the plan's starting stake, after a win and after a loss alike. It does not use Martingale.

A trade is placed only while its stake fits in what is left of the stop loss. When it no longer fits, the session ends instead of placing it.

The plans of Odd Hours

Odd Hours is not given a stake, a stop loss and a profit target one by one. You choose a plan, and the plan sets all of them together. Plans are named by their stop loss. The amounts are in the currency of the Deriv account the bot trades.

When a session ends

• The profit target is reached. The bot stops with the session's profit at or above the plan's target.
• The stop loss is reached. No stake is placed that could take the session's loss past the plan's stop loss.
• You stop it. The Stop button on the run page ends the session at any time.

Odd Hours runs on FXNOD's servers, not in your browser. Closing the page or switching off your device does not stop it, and does not switch off its limits. Starting it again after a session has ended begins a new session with the full plan.
