What is Boom 1000 Index?
Boom 1000 Index is a simulated market. A random-number generator moves the price tick by tick in a slow downward drift, and at random moments inserts a large upward spike. There is no company or economy behind the price and no news to analyse. It is traded as a CFD, and you can buy or sell it.
What does 1000 mean in B1000?
The 1000 is the average number of ticks between spikes: on average, one spike about every 1000 ticks. Compared with the other Boom indices, B1000 has the longest average gaps between spikes.
Remember that “average” is not a schedule. Two spikes can happen close together, or you may wait far longer than 1000 ticks. Nobody can predict the next one.
How does B1000 move?
Between spikes, B1000 moves in small steps that add up to a steady downward drift. Then a sudden, large upward candle appears, and the pattern starts again. On a chart it looks like a long slope with a sharp jump in the opposite direction every so often.
This behaviour is built into the algorithm, so it looks “predictable” to the eye, but the timing of the spikes is random.
Risks of trading B1000
- Trading with the drift can produce small gains, but one upward spike can wipe them out and more, especially with big lots or no stop loss.
- Waiting for a spike means paying the cost of the drift for every tick you are in the wrong direction.
- A stop loss may slip when a spike is very fast.
- You can lose your entire deposit quickly.
- Constant availability encourages over-trading and chasing losses.
Is B1000 good for beginners?
It is a high-risk product and most beginners lose money on it. If you still want to learn how it works, use a demo account, the smallest lot size, a stop loss on every trade, and risk only 1–2% per trade. Read our 5 risk management rules first.
