Within the Volatility 50, 75 and 100 family, Volatility 100 has the highest target volatility setting.
However, ThinkMarkets offers several other synthetic-index families with different behaviours, including:
- Boom;
- Crash;
- Jump;
- Calm;
- Weekend Storm; and
- OVERDRIVE_10.
These different families cannot be accurately ranked simply from their names because their price-generation characteristics differ.
For example, OVERDRIVE_10 is a separate high-intensity synthetic instrument and supports leverage of up to 1:10,000.
That does not necessarily mean it has the highest statistical volatility of every synthetic product.
When comparing synthetic indices, consider:
- product behaviour;
- target volatility;
- spike or jump characteristics;
- leverage; and
- margin requirements.
