How to Link Deriv to MetaTrader 5 (MT5): Start Trading Boom & Crash Today

So you’ve heard about the massive spikes in Boom 1000 or the rapid drops in Crash 500, and you’re ready to trade. But there’s one problem: How do you actually get the charts onto your phone or PC?


In this guide, I’ll show you exactly how to connect your Deriv account to the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform in under 5 minutes.


Step 1: Create Your Deriv "Synthetic" Account

You cannot trade Boom and Crash on a standard Forex account. You need a dedicated Synthetic Indices account.


• Log in to your Deriv Trader’s Hub.


• In the "CFDs" section, look for MT5.


• Click "Add" next to the Derived (Synthetic) account.


• Create a "Trading Password." Important: Save this password! It is different from your main login password.





Step 2: Get Your Login Credentials

Once your account is created, click on the "Open" button next to your MT5 Derived account. A box will pop up with three vital pieces of information:


Broker: Deriv (SVG) LLC (or similar)

Server: Deriv-Server (for Real) or Deriv-Demo (for Demo)


Login ID: A string of numbers (e.g., 1234567)


Step 3: Connect to MT5 (Mobile App)

Most Boom and Crash traders prefer mobile because spikes happen fast!


• Download MetaTrader 5 from the Play Store or App Store.


• Open the app, go to Settings > New Account.


• Search for "Deriv" and select your broker (usually Deriv Holdings (V) Ltd or Deriv (SVG) LLC).


• Enter your Login ID, your Trading Password, and select the Correct Server (Deriv-Server).


• Click Login. If you see your balance appear, you are connected!

Step 4: Add Boom and Crash to Your Quotes

If you don't see Boom and Crash immediately:


Go to the Quotes tab.


Click the "+" (Plus) icon or the search bar.


Look for the "Crash/Boom Indices" folder.


Tap on Boom 1000, Crash 1000, Boom 500, etc. to add them to your main list.


Pro Tip: Check Your Connection

Look at the bottom right corner (on PC) or the account tab (on Mobile). If the numbers are changing (e.g., 5.2 kbps), your data is flowing. If it says "Account Disabled" or "Authorization Failed," double-check your Trading Password and ensure you selected the right Server!
