About Volatility 50
Volatility 50 (R_50) sits in the middle of Deriv's Volatility index family, simulating a market with 50% annualized volatility. It offers more movement than R_10 or R_25 without the extreme swings of R_75 or R_100. AlertBolt lets you set a target price on R_50 and get notified instantly when it's reached — no need to keep the chart open.
