PHANTOM ODD Explained: How the Bot Works and How to Run It
How the PHANTOM ODD digit bot decides when to enter, what each of its five profiles does, what a session really costs on average, and how to run it with sensible limits.
What PHANTOM ODD does
PHANTOM ODD is a DONKOFX digit bot for Deriv volatility indices. It watches the last digit of each tick. When its trigger appears, an odd digit by default, it buys an even contract that settles a set number of ticks later. If the contract wins, the session moves on; if it loses, the bot either stays flat or places a larger recovery stake, depending on the profile.
The idea behind it is simple and worth stating plainly: after an odd digit, the next digit is still even about half the time. The trigger decides when the bot trades, not whether it wins. Each digit is independent of the ones before it.
The settings
- Entry trigger: any odd digit, two odd digits in a row, or three in a row. Longer triggers mean fewer contracts.
- Initial stake: from $0.35.
- Recovery multiplier and losing stakes per series: 1 and 1 mean flat stakes. A multiplier of 2.18 recovers one loss on an even contract after costs.
- Duration: 1 to 5 ticks per contract.
- Cooldowns: a pause after each loss and after a full losing series, measured in ticks.
- Paper wins before entry: the bot can watch contracts without money and enter only after a chosen number of paper wins.
- Contracts per session and Profit Lock, which ends the session the moment it is in profit.
The five profiles
Every profile has Profit Lock on and a short cooldown after a full series.
- WHISPER: $0.35 flat, 10 contracts per session.
- SHADOW: $0.50 flat, 10 contracts per session.
- STANDARD: $1, then $2.18 after a loss; a full series costs $3.18. 10 contracts per session.
- SURGE: $1, $2.18 and $4.75; a full series costs $7.93. 20 contracts per session.
- RAMPAGE: a $2 base with three stakes per series, about twice the SURGE series. 20 contracts per session.
What a session costs on average
A winning $1 even contract returns about 84.5 cents of profit. On a flat profile every stake is the same, so a session moves in small, even steps, and Profit Lock ends it as soon as it is in profit.
On STANDARD, one series ends three times in four with a win of about 84 cents and once in four with a loss of $3.18. With Profit Lock, a session usually stops at its first winning series, so most sessions end in profit. SURGE makes the losing series rarer, one in eight, and larger, $7.93, so match the profile to your session limit.
Before it starts
When you press Start, DONKOFX fetches your Deriv balance, adds up the full rounded recovery series of your settings and compares it with your session loss limit. If the series could lose more than the limit allows, the bot does not start, and the message tells you both amounts. Lower the stake, the multiplier or the number of steps, or knowingly choose a larger limit.
Choosing a market
PHANTOM ODD can run on any of the ten volatility indices. Digit payouts and digit behaviour are the same on all of them, so the choice changes pace rather than odds: one-second indices run a session twice as fast as the standard ones. If you are new to the bot, a standard index gives you more time to read the activity feed as it trades.
Running it sensibly
- Start on a Deriv demo account and watch several full sessions, including losing ones.
- Begin with WHISPER or SHADOW, which have no recovery steps.
- If you try STANDARD or SURGE, run the Recovery Series Analyser and the Risk of Ruin Simulator first.
- Keep Profit Lock on and a session loss limit you could lose in full.
- Only use money you can afford to lose, keep stakes flat while you learn, and raise them only after a long record on small stakes.
