To better ensure your long-term sustainability and profitability as a trader, our risk department may designate certain clients as "High Risk".
These traders will be required to adhere to specific risk parameters tailored to enhance their risk management at any time during their evaluation/challenge stage or the funded stage.
Such measures could include setting leverage limits, capping position sizes, or maintaining a maximum risk of 1% per trade idea until proven consistency and profitability are demonstrated.
A "trade idea" encompasses one or multiple concurrent trades on the same symbol.
These restrictions are designed to be temporary and subject to periodic reassessment and adjustments by the risk department based on the trader’s performance.
Instances that might necessitate these adjustments include, but not limited to:
- Experiencing excessive drawdowns or taking on unusually high-risk trade ideas.
- Risking the entirety of the drawdown on a single trade idea.
- Repeated account blowouts due to aggressive trading strategies.
- A lack of sufficient trading history prevents a clear evaluation of your profitability.
- Noticeable deviations from your usual trading patterns.
- Regular breaches of our risk management protocols.
- Concerns regarding market volatility, especially with significant risk exposures left open overnight or over weekends.
Additionally, compliance with these risk parameters is crucial. Failure to adhere to the set guidelines will result in two warnings. A third warning will lead to terminating your contract without the right to a refund.
These measures are put in place not as limitations but as a framework to help traders develop a more disciplined and strategic approach to trading, ensuring growth and success over time.
