TRADING BOOM AND CRASH
BOOM 500
​
​
Boom 500 is similar to Boom 1000, but spikes occur after every 500 ticks instead of 1,000. These spikes are smaller, typically ranging from 5 to 15 pips about 70% of the time. Consecutive spikes are also possible, and positions can be held as long as needed.
The margin requirement for Boom 500 is lower than Boom 1000, making it suitable for smaller account balances—starting at just $3, compared to a minimum of $7 for Boom 1000. However, the risks are similar, highlighting the importance of detailed analysis and the use of proven strategies, which I have shared, to trade profitably.
