Risk Management Tools and Features
Stop Loss and Take Profit Orders
We deliver automated risk controls via Stop Loss and Take Profit orders. Stop Loss closes trades at predefined adverse price moves to limit losses. Take Profit locks in profits by closing positions at target prices. Configure Stop Loss by pips or account risk percentage. Recommended risk per trade is no more than 2% of account equity. Take Profit settings should maintain a favorable risk-to-reward ratio of at least 1:2.
Trailing Stops dynamically adjust Stop Loss as price moves favorably. Set trailing distances in pips or percentage to accommodate market volatility. These tools protect gains while allowing extended position growth.
Position Sizing and Leverage Management
Use our built-in calculators to determine optimal trade size based on risk tolerance, account balance, and stop loss distance. Leverage varies by instrument and account type, with strict margin requirements. Monitor margin levels to avoid margin calls; maintain above 100% margin to prevent forced closures. A risk dashboard tracks portfolio exposure and correlation risk. Set maximum daily loss limits to preserve capital during volatile periods.
Advanced Trading Features and Automation
Expert Advisors and Algorithmic Trading
MetaTrader 4 and 5 platforms support Expert Advisors (EAs) for automated trading strategies. Access the MetaTrader Market to purchase or develop custom EAs using MQL programming. EAs execute trades based on technical indicators and preset conditions. Test strategies with historical data via built-in strategy testers providing metrics such as profit factor and drawdown. Optimize parameters using genetic algorithms to enhance performance. Deploy EAs on Virtual Private Servers (VPS) for uninterrupted operation regardless of local connectivity.
Advanced Order Types and Execution
Our platform supports advanced orders beyond market and pending types. One-Cancels-Other (OCO) pairs orders so the execution of one cancels the other. If-Done orders trigger conditional trades following initial position openings. Partial close orders enable profit-taking while maintaining some exposure. Iceberg orders hide large trade sizes to minimize market impact. Execution technology provides price improvement when possible. We use no dealing desk execution ensuring transparent trade fills without conflict of interest.
| Order Type | Description | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Market | Immediate execution at current price | All platforms |
| Pending | Orders set for future price levels | All platforms |
| One-Cancels-Other (OCO) | Linked orders cancel each other | MT4, MT5, cTrader |
