Risk Management Tools and Position Sizing

FxPro integrates essential risk management tools for volatile crypto markets. Set stop-loss orders by fixed price or percentage distance from entry to limit losses. Take-profit orders close trades automatically upon reaching target profits.

Position sizing calculators determine trade volumes based on account balance and risk percentage, typically 1-3% per trade. This helps avoid excessive exposure during volatile price swings.

Leverage Settings and Margin Requirements

We offer leverage up to 1:2 for retail clients on cryptocurrency CFDs, consistent with regulatory requirements. Professional clients may qualify for leverage up to 1:5 on selected altcoins. Leverage increases both potential gains and risks.

Margin requirements vary: Bitcoin CFDs require 50% margin (1:2 leverage), while some altcoins require 20% margin (up to 1:5 leverage). Our platform calculates margin automatically during order entry to avoid insufficient balance errors.

Margin calls occur when equity drops below 50% of required margin. Positions may liquidate automatically at 20% margin to protect both trader and broker during high volatility.
