What is SynthX?

SynthX is the FxPro range of AI-driven synthetic instruments. Instead of following a real exchange, company or commodity, SynthX instruments are powered by artificial intelligence: an AI-driven pricing engine generates every price in real time, within predefined parameters that include a volatility profile for each instrument.
Traditional markets are shaped by buyers and sellers, economic data, geopolitical events and company news. SynthX is different. Its prices are driven by mathematics, not by real-world market participants, so when you trade SynthX you are effectively trading against an AI-driven pricing engine rather than other traders or real supply-and-demand dynamics.

How does the AI pricing engine work?

The engine uses an AI-driven statistical model to produce a continuous stream of prices. It operates within defined parameters, and the most important of these is the volatility profile assigned to each instrument. This profile sets the statistical character of the instrument: how fast it tends to move, how far, and how often it shifts between calmer and more active periods.

Are SynthX price movements random?

Price movements use an AI-driven statistical process within defined parameters. The AI is not following a script that can be read in advance, so the next price movement cannot simply be known. Think of the volatility profile as the rules of the game, and the AI engine as the force that plays within them.

Can SynthX be predicted?

The AI-driven volatility profile helps you understand each instrument's intended statistical characteristics. It does not tell you whether the next price movement will be up or down. Familiarity with how an instrument behaves can inform your approach, but it cannot remove risk.

Trading SynthX

SynthX is traded as a Contract for Difference (CFD), which allows traders to buy (go long) or sell (go short) and make a profit or loss from price movements. Traders go long if they expect the price to rise and sell if they expect it to fall. If the price moves against the trader's forecast, they will make a loss.

Because prices come from an AI engine rather than real-world events, SynthX gives traders a consistent, rules-based environment to study price behaviour, test strategies and become familiar with different volatility profiles.

QA

'CFD' stands for 'contract for difference' and consists of an agreement (contract) to exchange the difference in the value of an underlying (currency pair, commodity, share, index, crypto) between the time at which the contract is opened and the time at which it is closed. If the difference is negative then the buyer must pay the difference to the seller. If the difference is positive then the seller must pay the difference to the buyer. When trading CFDs traders buy (go long) when they are expecting a rise, and sell (go short) when expecting a drop in value. The CFD derivatives market is not standardised and is made up of buyers and sellers who trade OTC ‘over-the-counter’ (not on any regulated exchange), meaning that the broker is the counterparty to every transaction and there is therefore counterparty risk. International banks & large investment firms act as liquidity providers by providing their own quotes for pricing CFDs based on the underlying prices, e.g., CFDs on FX pairs are based on the FX spot market. The brokers pricing and liquidity is usually received and aggregated from several such sources and can be affected by the available liquidity and pricing received from the above. As a very simple example: if you buy a ‘contract for difference’ at $14 and sell at $16 then you will receive the $2 difference. If you buy a CFD at $10 and sell at $8 then you pay the $2 difference. Basically, a CFD contract means that you are not physically buying the underlying, but through the CFD, you have exposure to the price movement of the underlying instrument.
We offer competitive spreads across all our platforms, with differences depending upon the account type you choose. On the MT4/MT5 Raw Spread account, we offer spreads without markup on FX & Metals, with a commission of $3.50 per lot of USD, per side (commission is charged round-turn when you open a position.) The same applies to our cTrader account type. Our MT4/MT5 Standard account types have marked-up spreads and zero commission. For the minimum and average spreads for each account type, please check the specifications for the specific instrument. First you need to select from the “Markets” Tab the underlying category and then click on the specific instrument of your choice to check the average spread. Spreads are floating, which means they are variable and fluctuate according to market conditions.
