Top Four: how FXNOD's Deriv Over 5 bot works
Top Four is a ready-made bot in FXNOD's Auto Hub that buys Deriv's one-tick Over 5 contract, which wins when the next tick ends in 6, 7, 8 or 9. Top Four waits until two ticks in a row end in 5 or less, then buys Over 5. After a losing trade its stake is multiplied by 1.79, and after a win it returns to the starting stake. You start it on one market with one of three fixed plans, with a stop loss of 20, 100 or 500, and the session ends at the plan's profit target or its stop loss.

What Top Four trades
Top Four trades one contract only: Over 5, from Deriv's Over / Under 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 6, 7, 8 or 9. 4 digits out of ten win, so a win pays more 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 Top Four enters a trade
Top Four reads the last digit of every tick. It enters only when the two newest ticks both end in a digit from 0 to 5, and then buys a one-tick Over 5, which wins on 6, 7, 8 or 9.
The condition is checked again on every tick. A trade that loses has itself ended in 5 or less, so after a loss the bot often meets its condition again on the next tick.
Top Four 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 Top Four sizes its stake
Top Four uses a Martingale stake. After a losing trade the stake is multiplied by 1.79; after a winning trade it returns to the starting stake. Losses in a row compound: the stake after two straight losses is the starting stake multiplied twice, rounded to two decimal places.
The stop loss bounds the ladder. A stake is placed only if it is no larger than what is left of the stop loss; a step that does not fit is not placed, and the session ends there. The table shows the stakes of an unbroken run of losses from a session that is level. A session that is already in profit has more room, and one that is behind has less.
| Plan | Losses in a row that fit | Stakes if every trade loses | Lost by then | Next step, not placed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stop loss 20 | 6 | 0.35, 0.63, 1.12, 2.01, 3.59, 6.43 | 14.13 | 11.51 |
| Stop loss 100 | 6 | 2.00, 3.58, 6.41, 11.47, 20.53, 36.75 | 80.74 | 65.79 |
| Stop loss 500 | 9 | 2.00, 3.58, 6.41, 11.47, …, 117.76, 210.79 | 475.08 | 377.32 |
Read the first row like this: on the stop loss 20 plan, 6 losing trades in a row cost 14.13 in total. The next stake would be 11.51, which is more than the 5.87 left of the stop loss, so the bot does not place it and the session ends.
The plans of Top Four
Top Four 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.
| Plan | Starting stake | Profit target | Multiplier after a loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stop loss 20 | 0.35 | 1 | 1.79 |
| Stop loss 100 | 2 | 5 | 1.79 |
| Stop loss 500 | 2 | 25 | 1.79 |
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.
Top Four 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.
How to start Top Four
Open Auto Hub and choose Top Four

The panel shows which Deriv account the bot will trade. On a demo account the button reads Start on demo. On a real account you tick a box to confirm that the bot trades real money, and the button reads Start with real money. The first time, Deriv asks you to approve FXNOD's automated-trading connection on its own page.
