Deriv bots in Uganda: fund with MTN MoMo or Airtel Money

MTN and Airtel are both on Deriv's list of payment methods, so if you use MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money in Uganda, check your Deriv cashier for them. Sign up, top up from your wallet, and run a free bot on BinaryTick, all from the phone in your pocket.

Step 1: Open your Deriv account through BinaryTick

Open BinaryTick and press Sign up. Deriv creates the account on its own page, and every account comes with a demo balance, so you can run bots before you put in a shilling. If you already have a Deriv account, press Log in; your password is only ever typed on Deriv's page.

Step 2: Top up with mobile money

These are the methods on Deriv's payment methods page that Ugandans already use, with the limits Deriv listed on 11 October 2026, in USD:

MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money each take deposits from 5 USD, up to 150 at a time, and pay withdrawals of up to 750 USD, all listed as instant. Cards take deposits of up to 10,000 USD at a time, from 10 USD, if your bank allows card payments to Deriv. Where it is offered, Deriv P2P lets you buy and sell with other Deriv users in Ugandan shillings, at a rate you agree.

Your Deriv cashier shows the methods your account can use, and Deriv can change its limits at any time, so check it before you top up.

Step 3: Practise on the demo balance

Switch the account selector to demo, open the Bots tab, and press Run bot on any card. Demo trades use the same live prices and contracts as real ones, so it is the place to get comfortable with a bot first. The demo account guide shows what to try.

Step 4: Set up your first real session

Most bots ship with an initial stake of 1 USD, a stop loss of 10 USD and a 2.1x martingale capped by a max stake of 5 USD. The stop loss is checked after each trade, and the martingale can put up to 4.41 USD on a single trade, so a session at the defaults needs a balance comfortably above the stop loss: about 15 USD. Starting with 10 USD? Untick Use martingale for a flat 1 USD stake and set the stop loss to 9, and the session ends before your balance runs short. The initial stake can go as low as 0.35 USD.

Three bots to start with:

• Digit Differs wins about nine times in ten.
• Even / Odd Switcher buys Even until a trade loses, then Odd until that loses.
• Rise / Fall Switcher does the same with Rise and Fall, on Jump 50.

Each card explains its rule under How it works and keeps every setting under Settings, so your take profit and stop loss are set before you press Run bot.
