Free Deriv bots and how to load and run one
A plain guide to the free Deriv bots in the BancaBot library: what each one trades, how to load a bot file, and what to check before you let it run.
If you want free Deriv bots that you can open, read and run without paying for anything first, the free library in Bot Forge is where to start. This post explains what the bots in that library trade, how to load one, and what to look at on the screen before you let it place a single trade.
One thing to be clear about before anything else. A bot is a set of rules that clicks faster than you do. It does not know what the market will do next, and trading on Deriv loses money for many people. A free bot is free to load, not free to run.
What the free library actually is
Bot Forge is a block based builder. You drag blocks into place, they describe a condition and an action, and the finished arrangement is a bot. The free library is a set of bots already built that way, ready to load into the same workspace.
Because the bots are built from blocks and not hidden behind a compiled file, you can open any of them and read what they do. Every rule is visible. If a bot doubles its stake after a loss, you will see the block that does it. If it only trades one market, you will see that too.
Bot Forge also reads bot files from the older builders, so a strategy saved elsewhere can be brought across and opened in the same workspace. If you are coming from those tools, the page on Binary Bot and DBot covers how the files relate.
What the bots in the library trade
The bots trade the markets Deriv offers, and that is the limit of what any of them can touch. In practice that means three groups.
- The synthetic indices: Volatility 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100, plus their one second versions. These run all the time, including weekends.
- Forex pairs and gold, which follow the market hours those instruments keep.
- Deriv's own contract types on top of those markets: rise and fall, higher and lower, and the digit contracts.
Most free bots fall into one of two families. Direction bots take a rise or fall position on a synthetic index or a forex pair and manage the stake from there. Digit bots work on the last digit of a synthetic index tick and use the digit contracts instead.
Which family suits you depends on how fast you want the bot to act. Digit bots resolve on a tick. Direction bots on forex and gold tend to hold longer and behave differently across a trading day.
What the market looked like when this was written
Numbers help more than adjectives here, so here is a real snapshot. Taken from Deriv's live feed at 2026-09-23 19:41 UTC, over the last 1000 ticks from 19:07 to 19:41 UTC:
| Index | Move over the window | Range | Most common last digit | Longest one way run |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volatility 10 | up 0.049% | 0.081% | 7, at 11.6% | 11 ticks |
| Volatility 25 | down 0.288% | 0.505% | 1, at 11% | 11 ticks |
| Volatility 50 | up 0.382% | 0.789% | 5, at 11.6% | 9 ticks |
| Volatility 75 | down 0.399% | 0.800% | 1, at 10.7% | 10 ticks |
| Volatility 100 | down 0.318% | 1.093% | 9, at 11.4% | 11.4% is the share, run was 9 ticks |
Two things worth noticing. The ranges are very different: Volatility 10 moved 0.081% across that window while Volatility 100 moved 1.093%. A bot tuned for one of those on a fixed stake behaves nothing like the same bot on the other.
And the digit shares sit near even. On Volatility 75 the gap between the most and least common digit was 2.1 points across a thousand ticks. That is the sort of edge a digit bot is working with, which is worth knowing before you assume a pattern is a pattern.
How to load and run a bot
The order matters, and the demo step is not optional in any sensible version of this.
- Sign in with your own Deriv account through Deriv's OAuth screen. The permission asked for is trading only. That lets BancaBot read the account balance and place trades. It cannot withdraw, it cannot move money, and it never sees your password. If you do not have an account yet, start with creating a Deriv account.
- Switch to your demo account. Both real and demo work, and demo is the sensible place to begin.
- Open Bot Forge and pick a bot from the free library, or import a bot file from an older builder.
- Read the blocks before you touch run. Check the market it trades, the stake, and whether the stake changes after a loss.
- Set the stake to something small and press run. Watch it work on demo through several trades, not two.
What to look at while it runs
Watch the stake sequence more than the result of any single trade. A bot that raises its stake after a loss can look calm for a long stretch and then take a large share of the balance in a few trades. That is the mechanic that ends most accounts, and it is visible in the blocks before you ever run it.
Check that the bot is on the market you meant. Check the contract duration. Check what happens when it stops: does it stop on a total loss figure, and is that figure one you would accept losing today.
If you want the reasoning side rather than the automation side, the digit analyzer shows the digit cards and one pick for the next tick while leaving the decision with you. The signals, the analyzer and the free bot library cost nothing to use. There are paid plans for the premium bots, and the pricing is on the site.
What to do next
Open the free library in Bot Forge, load one bot on a demo account, and read its blocks all the way through before you press run.
Questions
Are the free Deriv bots really free to use?
Yes. The free bot library, the AI signals and the digit analyzer are free to use, and no account is needed to read the guides. There are paid plans for the premium bots, and that pricing is listed on the site. Running any bot still uses real money if you are on a real account.
Do I need a real Deriv account to run a free bot?
No. You sign in with your own Deriv account through Deriv's OAuth screen, and both real and demo accounts work. A demo account is the sensible place to start, because it lets you watch a bot through a full run of trades without money at stake.
Can BancaBot take money out of my Deriv account?
No. The permission asked for at sign in is trading only, which lets BancaBot read your account balance and place trades. It cannot withdraw, it cannot move money, and it never sees your Deriv password.
Can I load a bot file I built in an older Deriv builder?
Yes. Bot Forge reads bot files from the older builders, so a strategy saved there can be opened in the same block based workspace. Once it is loaded you can read every block, change it, and run it on demo first.
Trading on Deriv puts your money at risk, and automation does not change that. Practise on a demo account first and only trade money you can afford to lose.
