Risk Management

Every order a strategy wants to place is checked by the risk service first. The order is approved, reduced in size or rejected.

Risk Overview

Risk Overview

Risk Management → Risk Overview shows the active limits and the open positions:

  • Max Risk Per Trade — the largest share of the account one trade may risk.
  • Max Positions — how many positions may be open at once.
  • Max Exposure Per Currency — limit per currency.
  • Max Daily Loss / Max Weekly Loss — loss limits per period.
  • Max Drawdown — the largest allowed fall from the peak.

If there are no positions you see No Active Positions. If the page shows Risk Management Service Offline, the risk service is unavailable — no new orders are placed until it is back.
