Twin Peaks: how FXNOD's Deriv Over 7 bot works

Twin Peaks at a glance

What Twin Peaks trades

Twin Peaks trades one contract only: Over 7, 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 8 or 9. Two digits out of ten win, so a win pays several times 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 Twin Peaks enters a trade

Twin Peaks reads the last digit of every tick. It enters only when the five newest ticks all end in a digit from 0 to 7, and then buys a one-tick Over 7, which wins on 8 or 9.

A losing trade ends in 7 or less, so it extends the run the bot is waiting for, and the next entry can follow on the next tick. A winning trade ends in 8 or 9 and resets the wait: at least five more ticks pass before the next entry.

Twin Peaks 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 Twin Peaks sizes its stake

Twin Peaks uses a Martingale stake. After a losing trade the stake is multiplied by 1.32; 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.

Read the first row like this: on the stop loss 20 plan, 10 losing trades in a row cost 16.46 in total. The next stake would be 5.62, which is more than the 3.54 left of the stop loss, so the bot does not place it and the session ends.

The plans of Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks 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.

Twin Peaks 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.

   The panel shows which Deriv account the bot will trade. On a demo account the button reads Start on demo.
