Synthetic indices for prop firms
Prop firms that add synthetic indices typically see revenue rise by 5% or more. Give your traders instruments that never close, never gap on news and run every weekend.

- 7 days
- a week of trading, weekends included
- 200k+
- synthetic indices traders to market to
Challenges that run seven days a week
Traders can work through evaluations on weekends and holidays, which keeps engagement up when FX and index markets are closed.
No news gaps
Synthetic indices don't react to economic releases or headlines, so there are no weekend gaps or slippage arguments around news events.
Evidence for every payout review
Every tick is stored with its sequence number and timestamp. When a trader disputes a stop-out, you can show the exact prices at that moment.
Insulated from macro shocks
Synthetic prices don't follow real markets, so a global event that pushes every funded trader the same way on FX and gold doesn't hit your synthetics exposure.
A brand of your own
Name each index to match your firm. Your feed is exclusive, so your traders' charts won't match any other firm's.
How it fits
Most prop firms run evaluations and funded accounts on demo infrastructure. Aleatra's MT5 datafeed plugs straight into a demo MT5 server, and FIX sessions work with the bridges prop firms use for hybrid models.
Because pricing is a flat monthly fee, your cost doesn't climb as your trader count grows. A firm with 500 active accounts pays the same as one with 50,000.
For challenge rules, spike handling and payout reviews, see our synthetic indices risk management guide.
The indices that suit prop challenges best:
- FX Volatility 20 and 40 for steady, rule-friendly price action
- Boom and Crash 1000 and 1200 for spike traders with tight drawdown rules
- Step 200 for traders who want a fixed tick size
Questions
Can we use synthetic indices on a demo-only MT5 server?
Yes. Most prop firms connect our MT5 datafeed to the demo server that hosts their evaluations and funded accounts. No live server is required.
Does pricing change as our trader numbers grow?
No. Plans are a flat monthly fee per brand. Your cost stays the same whether you run 500 accounts or 50,000.
How do we handle a trader disputing a price?
Every plan includes stored tick history for each symbol, so you can pull the exact prices for any time range and compare them against the trader's trade history.
Can we rename the indices?
Yes. You choose the symbol names your traders see, so the products carry your firm's branding.
