PainX: The Complete Guide
Master Weltrade's premier “Only Up” synthetic index — from tick mechanics to advanced spike trading.
1. What is PainX?
PainX is a directional synthetic index offered by Weltrade under their SyntX brand. It moves continuously upward, with sharp downward drops (spikes) occurring at predictable tick intervals — 400, 600, 800, 999, or 1200 ticks.[1]
Key Characteristics:
- Direction: Upward only (continuous bullish trend).
- Spikes: Drops occur every 400, 600, 800, 999, or 1200 ticks — the number indicates the frequency.[1]
- Recovery: After a drop, the price always recovers and continues moving up.
- 24/7 Trading: Available every day, all day — no market closures.[2]
- Leverage: Up to 1:5000 depending on your account type.[3]
2. How PainX Works
PainX follows a repeatable cycle that you can learn to read and trade profitably. Synthetic indices like PainX are algorithmically generated instruments available 24/7, unaffected by news or politics.[2]
- Uptrend Phase: Price rises steadily, step by step, with occasional small pullbacks.
- Drop Phase: After a specific number of ticks (400, 600, 800, 999, or 1200), a sharp downward spike occurs. This is where PainX “hurts” — hence the name.
- Recovery Phase: Price immediately reverses and climbs back up, often surpassing the pre‑drop level.
- Repeat: The cycle repeats indefinitely, making PainX highly predictable once you understand the rhythm.
PainX Variants: Weltrade offers several PainX versions based on drop frequency:[1]
| Symbol | Drop Every (ticks) | Drop Frequency | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| PainX 400 | 400 ticks | Very Frequent | Scalpers & Fast Traders |
| PainX 600 | 600 ticks | Frequent | Day Traders |
| PainX 800 | 800 ticks | Moderate | Balanced Strategy |
| PainX 999 | 999 ticks | Less Frequent | Swing Traders |
| PainX 1200 | 1200 ticks | Least Frequent | Position Traders |
3. Drop Frequencies Explained
The number in the PainX name (400, 600, 800, 999, 1200) tells you exactly how many ticks the price moves before a drop occurs.[1] Here's what that means in real trading terms:
PainX 400 – The Scalper's Choice
- Drops every 400 ticks — approximately every 30–60 seconds on average.
- Perfect for scalpers who want quick, small profits multiple times per hour.
- Lower risk per trade, but requires fast execution.
PainX 600 – The Day Trader's Favorite
- Drops every 600 ticks — about 1–2 minutes between drops.
- Balanced between frequency and recovery size.
- Best for day traders who want consistent action without the pressure of scalping.
PainX 800 – The Balanced Approach
- Drops every 800 ticks — about 2–3 minutes between drops.
- Larger recovery potential, fewer trades.
- Ideal for traders who prefer quality over quantity.
PainX 999 – The Swing Trader's Sweet Spot
- Drops every 999 ticks — about 3–5 minutes between drops.
- Bigger runs between drops, allowing for larger profit targets.
- Best for swing traders who hold positions longer.
PainX 1200 – The Position Trader's Dream

- Best for position traders and those with larger account sizes.
4. Best Trading Strategies for PainX
Here are the most effective strategies for trading PainX, ranging from beginner to advanced. For a broader overview, see Weltrade's official trading strategies guide.[4]
Strategy 1: The “Dip Buy” (Beginner)
- Concept: Buy immediately after a drop, ride the recovery, and exit before the next drop.
- Entry: Enter a BUY trade as soon as the price starts recovering from a drop.
- Exit: Close the trade just before the next drop is due (count the ticks).
- Risk: Low — you're buying at the bottom of a dip.
- Best For: Beginners and traders with small accounts.
Strategy 2: The “Trend Rider” (Intermediate)
- Concept: Enter a BUY trade early in the uptrend and hold through multiple cycles, adding to your position after each drop.
- Entry: Enter after the first drop of the session, then add more lots after each subsequent drop.
- Exit: Close all positions when you've reached your daily profit target or when the trend shows signs of fatigue.
- Risk: Medium — you're exposed to the drops, but using a trailing stop can protect you.
- Best For: Traders with larger accounts and medium risk tolerance.
Strategy 3: The “Spike Catcher” (Advanced)
- Concept: Use the Spike Detector to predict the exact moment of the next drop, then place a BUY order just below the current price to catch the absolute bottom of the spike.
- Entry: Set a BUY STOP or BUY LIMIT order slightly below the current price, anticipating the drop.
- Exit: Close within 10–20 ticks of recovery for quick, high‑probability profits.
- Risk: High — requires precise timing and a deep understanding of tick counting.
- Best For: Experienced traders with advanced tools like the Spike Detector.
Strategy 4: The “Fibonacci Retracement” (Technical)
- Concept: Use Fibonacci levels to identify where the drop will reverse and start the recovery. Learn more about how to use Fibonacci retracement in trading.[5]
- Entry: Wait for the price to drop to the 61.8% or 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level, then enter a BUY trade.
- Exit: Take profit at the previous high or at a Fibonacci extension level (127.2% or 161.8%).
- Risk: Medium — combines technical analysis with tick‑based timing.
- Best For: Traders who are comfortable with technical analysis and Fibonacci tools.

6. Risk Management
Trading PainX is not risk‑free. Here's how to protect your capital. For a deeper dive, explore trading psychology and risk management guides from leading trading academies.[8]
Essential Risk Rules:
- Set a Stop‑Loss: Always place a stop‑loss below the most recent low. A good rule of thumb is 10–15 ticks below your entry.
- Use Take‑Profit: Set a realistic profit target. For PainX, 20–50 ticks per trade is achievable.
- Avoid Overtrading: Stick to 3–5 trades per session maximum. More trades = more exposure to drops.
- Daily Loss Limit: If you lose 3 trades in a row, stop trading for the day. The market will be there tomorrow.
- Use Proper Lot Sizes: A lot size of 0.01–0.10 is recommended for beginners. Scale up gradually as you gain confidence.
Stop‑Loss Placement Guide:
| PainX Variant | Stop‑Loss | Take‑Profit | Risk/Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| PainX 400 | 10–15 ticks | 20–30 ticks | 1:2 |
| PainX 600 | 15–20 ticks | 30–50 ticks | 1:2.5 |
| PainX 800 | 20–25 ticks | 40–60 ticks | 1:2.5 |
| PainX 999 | 25–30 ticks | 50–80 ticks | 1:3 |
| PainX 1200 | 30–40 ticks | 60–100 ticks | 1:3 |
7. Trading Psychology
Emotional control is more important than strategy. Here's how to master your mindset when trading PainX. Understanding trading psychology for beginners is essential for long-term success.[9]
- Patience — Wait for the right entry. Don't chase trades.
- Profit — Take your profits. Greed is the enemy.
- Process — Trust your system. Don't let emotions override your rules.
Common Emotional Traps & How to Avoid Them:
1. Fear of Missing Out (FOMO)
You see price moving up and feel compelled to enter. Solution: Wait for the next drop. There's always another cycle. Learn more about managing FOMO and other trading emotions.[8]
2. Revenge Trading
You take a loss and immediately open a new trade to “win it back.” Solution: Step away for 10 minutes. Reset your mind.
3. Overconfidence
You win 5 trades in a row and increase your lot size. Solution: Stick to your plan. One bad trade can wipe out multiple wins.
4. Holding Too Long
You don't take profit because you think price will go higher. Solution: Use a take‑profit order and let it execute automatically.
- Set a daily profit target (e.g., 5–10% of your account).
- Set a daily loss limit (e.g., 2% of your account).
- Stick to 1–2 strategies — don't switch between multiple styles.
- Review your trades at the end of the day. Learn from mistakes.
