Deriv multipliers combines the upside of leverage trading with the limited risk of options. This means that when the market moves in your favour, you'll multiply your potential profits. If the market moves against your prediction, your losses are limited only to your stake. Learn about the markets that you can trade online with Deriv, including forex, synthetic indices, stocks & indices, cryptocurrencies, basket indices, and commodities.
Let’s say you predict that the market will go up. Without a multiplier, if the market goes up by 2%, you'll gain 2% * $100 = $2 profit. With a x500 multiplier, if the market goes up by 2%, you'll gain 2% * $100 * 500 = $1,000 profit. With an equivalent $100 margin trade, with 1:500 leverage, you risk 2% * $50,000 = $1,000 loss. With a x500 multiplier, if the market goes down 2%, you'll lose only $100. An automatic stop out kicks in if your loss reaches your stake amount.

Things to keep in mind when trading multipliers
- Stop out. With or without a stop loss in place, we will close your position if the market moves against your prediction and your loss reaches the stop out price. The stop out price is the price at which your net loss is equal to your stake.
- Multipliers on Crash and Boom. Deal cancellation isn’t available for Crash and Boom indices. The stop out feature will close your contract automatically when your loss reaches or exceeds a percentage of your stake. The stop out percentage is shown below your stake on DTrader and varies according to your chosen multiplier.
- You can’t use stop loss and deal cancellation features at the same time. This is to protect you from losing your money when using deal cancellation. With deal cancellation, you are allowed to reclaim your full stake amount if you cancel your contract within an hour of opening the position. Stop loss, on the other hand, will close your contract at a loss if the market moves against your position. However, once the deal cancellation expires, you can set a stop loss level on the open contract.
- You can’t use take profit and deal cancellation features at the same time. You can’t set a take profit level when you purchase a multipliers contract with deal cancellation. However, once the deal cancellation expires, you can set a take profit level on the open contract.
- Cancel and close features are not allowed simultaneously. If you purchase a contract with deal cancellation, the ‘Cancel’ button allows you to terminate your contract and get back your full stake. On the other hand, using the ‘Close’ button lets you terminate your position at the current price, which can lead to a loss if you close a losing trade.
