Synthetic Indices are artificially generated trading instruments. Their prices are generated algorithmically using randomization methods and are not linked to any real underlying assets. Headway currently offers several families of Synthetic Indices: VOL, STORM, BOOM, and CRASH. Each family has its own price behavior characteristics and generation parameters.
