Deriv Touch/No Touch Assistant
Touch/No Touch is about whether the market reaches a target price at any point, not just where it finishes. An assistant can place these trades under limits you set.
How Touch/No Touch contracts work
You choose a target price, called a barrier. A Touch contract wins if the market reaches the barrier at any time during the contract. A No Touch contract wins if it never does.
Because only reaching the barrier matters, the price can come back and the Touch contract still wins. Payouts depend on how far the barrier is from the current price.
How to set up a Touch/No Touch assistant
- Open the Trading Panel and pick a market and symbol, for example a Volatility Index.
- Choose Touch/No Touch as the contract type, then Touch or No Touch, and set your barrier and expiry.
- Select a ready-made strategy, or a progression strategy such as Martingale for your stakes.
- Set your stake or payout, then turn on risk management to add a stop loss and take profit.
- Practice on a Deriv demo account first, then press play and follow each trade on the live chart.
What to know before you automate
Path matters, not just the end
The price journey chart in Trade analysis shows when a barrier was reached, which makes losses easier to understand.
Distance changes everything
A nearby barrier is touched more often and pays less. A distant one pays more and is touched rarely.
Keep a stop loss
No Touch trades can win repeatedly and then lose once. Set limits before you start.
Try a Touch/No Touch assistant on a Deriv demo account before you risk real money.
