Most traders lose money because they chase signals, switch strategies every week, or trade with emotions.
But a small group of Deriv traders are quietly using a simple trading system that helps them earn consistent profits — even in volatile markets. This system doesn’t require indicators or luck. It’s based on market structure, timing, and discipline. In this article, I’ll show you what this Simple Trading System is, how it works, and how you can test it on your Deriv demo account starting today.

Why Most Traders Fail
Let’s be real — 90% of traders lose money.
Not because the market is unfair, but because they trade without a plan.
Here are 3 big reasons traders fail:
- No system: They jump between indicators or random Telegram signals.
- Poor risk management: They risk $20 to make $5.
- Lack of discipline: They trade out of fear or greed.
If this sounds familiar, don’t worry — the system I’m about to share solves all three problems.
The Core of The Simple Trading System
Let’s break this down slowly. Every market moves because someone is buying and someone is selling.
But here’s the secret: not all traders are equal. Some traders move small amounts — $10, $100, $500…
Then there are big players — banks, hedge funds, and institutional traders — moving millions of dollars at once.
When those big players enter or exit the market, they leave footprints — and those footprints are what we call Supply and Demand Zones.
What Are Supply and Demand Zones?
Think of it like a supermarket:
- Supply zone = where sellers are ready to sell in large quantity (price usually falls afterward).
- Demand zone = where buyers are ready to buy in large quantity (price usually rises afterward).
In trading terms:
- Demand Zone (Buy Area): A price level where the market shot up quickly before.
- Supply Zone (Sell Area): A price level where the market dropped quickly before.
These zones are the “battlefields” where smart traders position themselves.
How to Spot these Zones
- Open your Deriv chart (MT5 or Deriv X).
- Look for strong moves — a big candle or a sudden breakout.
- Trace back to see where that move started.
That starting point is likely a Demand or Supply Zone. - Mark it using a rectangle tool on your chart.
✅ Example:
If price suddenly shoots up from 4000 to 4200, then later returns near 4000 again —
that 4000 area is your Demand Zone.
The Entry Secret — Wait for the Retest
Most beginners make the mistake of jumping in immediately.
But pros wait. Why? Because price often returns to those zones before moving again.
So here’s what to do:
- When price comes back to a Demand Zone → get ready to buy.
- When price comes back to a Supply Zone → get ready to sell.
This is called a “retest entry.”
It’s simple and powerful — no indicators, no confusion.
Set Your Stop Loss and Take Profit
To protect yourself, always set a Stop Loss and a Take Profit before entering a trade.
Example:
- If you’re buying at a Demand Zone, place your Stop Loss just below that zone.
- If you’re selling at a Supply Zone, place your Stop Loss just above that zone.
- Your Take Profit should be 2x or 3x bigger than your Stop Loss distance.
- So if your Stop Loss is 100 points, aim for 200–300 points profit.
That’s called Risk–Reward Ratio (RRR) — and it’s the key to staying profitable even if you lose some trades.
Your Step-by-Step Trading Plan
- Identify where price moved strongly.
- Mark that starting point as your zone.
- Wait for price to come back.
- Enter when it shows signs of reversing (like a rejection candle or small breakout).
- Set Stop Loss and Take Profit.
- Walk away — let the market do its job.
That’s it.
No complicated indicators.
No guessing.
Just following price action and structure.
Note:
Practice on Deriv’s demo account first.
Don’t rush to trade live money.
After 10–15 demo trades, you’ll start to see how predictable price becomes once you understand these zones.
How to Trade with the Simple Trading System on Deriv
Now that you understand how the Simple Trading System works, let’s put it into action.
You don’t need to be a pro trader or have a big account — just follow these simple steps and practice daily.
Step 1: Open a Free Deriv Account
First, go to Deriv.com
- Click “Create free demo account”
- Use your email, confirm it, and you’re ready.
Your demo account comes with $10,000 virtual money, so you can practice without any risk.
Step 2: Choose Your Trading Platform
You can choose
- Deriv MT5 (DMT5): For advanced charting and analysis.
- Deriv X: For a more visual, beginner-friendly interface.
- MT5
You can use either one — the strategy works the same. Just log in to Your MT5 with the login details provided when you sign up.
Step 3: Select the Market
On Deriv, you can trade:
- Synthetic Indices (like V75, Boom/Crash, Step Index) — these move 24/7 and are great for this strategy.
-
Forex Pairs (EUR/USD, GBP/JPY) — if you prefer traditional currencies.
For beginners, Volatility 75, although very volatile is perfect
Step 4: Mark Your Zones
- Open your chart (e.g., V75 on the 1-hour timeframe).
- Look for areas where price made a strong move up or down.
- Trace back to where that move started — that’s your zone.
- Use your rectangle tool to draw a box around that area.
✅ Example:
If price jumps from 4500 to 4700 quickly, your Demand Zone starts around 4500.
If price drops from 4800 to 4600, that 4800 area is your Supply Zone.
These are your buy/sell battlegrounds.
Step 5: Wait for Price to Return
Be patient — this is where beginners often lose.
Don’t chase price! Wait until it returns to your zone.
Here’s what to do:
- If it returns to your Demand Zone (buy area), wait for a small rejection candle (wick or pin bar).
- If it returns to your Supply Zone (sell area), wait for a bearish candle showing sellers are stepping in.
That’s your signal to enter.
Step 6: Enter the Trade
- Once you see your confirmation candle:
- Click Buy (for Demand Zone) or Sell (for Supply Zone).
- Set your Stop Loss just below or above the zone.
- Set your Take Profit at 2x or 3x your Stop Loss.
Example:
- Entry: 4500
- Stop Loss: 4450
- Take Profit: 4650 (2x your risk)
That’s how you create a controlled, professional trade plan.
Step 7: Manage and Record Your Trades
Once your trade is active:
- Don’t over-monitor it; let the system work.
- Move your Stop Loss to Break-even once the trade is in profit.
- Keep a small trading journal — note what worked and what didn’t.
Step 8: Keep Practicing
Every time you practice, you’ll see price respect these zones again and again.
That’s how consistency builds — through observation and patience.
Trade your demo for at least 10–15 trades before going live.
Once you start seeing patterns repeat, switch to a small live account and trade the same way.
Build Your Confidence Before Going Live
Most new traders rush into live trading and lose focus.
But the smartest traders treat the demo account like real money.
Once you’ve mastered your entries and exits, switch to live — one small trade at a time.
Consistency comes from confidence, not luck.
Final Thoughts
The “Simple Trading System” is not magic — it’s about reading the market the way professionals do.
When you focus on structure, patience, and proper risk management, profits become consistent and stress becomes minimal.
