Detecting it is not hard, but anyway you can't hope to close a position BEFORE it. How could you know it will happen before it happens ?

Easy! When the absolute value of the [current price] minus the [previous price] is greater than a predetermined value.

But please note that you can only detect it after the fact, not before. You cannot predict it. You can only calculate its probability.

You can't! That is the inherent characteristic of Boom or Crash.

Those synthetic symbols are designed to be like that. They have sudden spikes or drops in the price at random within a certain average number of ticks.

Any stop-loss or take-profit will simply not hold and the price will slip. That is the whole point of those symbols.

 
Thanks, Alain and Fernando.

Hi you need to understand how bullish and bearish candles interact any price spike for the bullish means it hit the same level where the bearish candle was going down 


try to check any chart of forex crypto or indexes as all of them are  the same

Your comment is not relevant to these synthetic assets. They do not behave like forex or crypto or even indices. They are very different at the tick level.
