Range Break Indices 2026 | How to Trade Range Break 100 and 200 on Deriv
What Are Range Break Indices?
Range Break Indices simulate a market that fluctuates within a range until it suddenly breaks out. On average, the breakout happens after a set number of steps.
- Range Break 100 Index — Breaks out of its range, on average, once every 100 steps.
- Range Break 200 Index — Breaks out of its range, on average, once every 200 steps.
How Range Break Works
When the price is inside the range, it moves up and down within a consolidation zone. When the breakout occurs, the price makes a massive, explosive jump (either up or down) out of the range. Once the breakout is over, it immediately starts consolidating in a new range.
Range Break Specifications
| Specification | Range Break 100 | Range Break 200 |

| Minimum Lot Size | 0.01 | 0.01 |
| Maximum Lot Size | 10.00 | 10.00 |
| Tick Size | 0.001 | 0.001 |
Trading Strategy: Catching the Breakout
The most profitable way to trade Range Break indices is to identify the range limits. Draw horizontal lines at the high and low of the consolidation zone. When the price approaches these boundaries, set a pending order (Buy Stop or Sell Stop) just outside the range. When the explosive breakout occurs, your order will trigger, allowing you to ride the massive spike. Be sure to set your take profit quickly, as the market reverts to consolidation soon after.
Risk Warning
Range Break breakouts are extremely fast and can gap past your stop loss. This means your slip risk is high. Always use small lot sizes (0.01 or 0.02) and never risk more than 2% of your account on a single breakout trade.
