Synthetic index price feeds for brokers

Twenty-four 24/7 indices across five families. Each follows a documented statistical model, so you can set spreads and margin with confidence before your first client trades.

BoomUpward spikes

Boom indices

A slow drift lower, broken by sharp jumps higher. The number is the average count of ticks between spikes, so Boom 400 spikes more often than Boom 1200.

P(spike per tick) = 1 / N   drift between spikes < 0

Boom 400 · 600 · 800 · 1000 · 1200

CrashDownward spikes

Crash indices

The mirror image of Boom. A slow drift higher, broken by sharp drops. Many traders pair Crash with Boom to trade both sides of the spike pattern.

P(spike per tick) = 1 / N   drift between spikes > 0

Crash 400 · 600 · 800 · 1000 · 1200

FX VolatilityConstant volatility

FX Volatility indices

Random walks with constant volatility. The number in the name is the annualised volatility, so FX Volatility 20 moves gently and FX Volatility 100 moves five times as much.

S(t+1) = S(t) · exp(−σ²/2·Δt + σ·√Δt·Z)

FX Volatility 20 · 40 · 60 · 80 · 100

FlipSwitching trends

Flip indices

Prices trend in one direction, then flip and trend the other way at random points. Levels 1 to 5 set how often the direction changes.

Drift sign reverses with probability set by level, per tick

Flip 1 · 2 · 3 · 4 · 5

StepFixed step

Step indices

Every tick moves the price by exactly one step, up or down, with equal probability. Suited to traders who want a simple, predictable tick size.

S(t+1) = S(t) ± step   P(up) = P(down) = 0.5

Step 200 · 300 · 400 · 500

Every plan includes all 24 indices. Charts on this page are illustrative and generated in your browser.

Fairness

Prices you can stand behind.

Independent of the dealer

Prices come from a seeded generator, not from a dealing desk. Neither Aleatra nor your team can nudge a price after the seed is set.

Seed commitments

A hash of each feed's seed is committed in advance, so any disputed tick can later be checked against the original seed.

Full tick history

Every tick is stored with its sequence number and timestamp, ready for complaint handling, audits and payout reviews.
