Risk ManagementStop Loss
A predetermined price where you exit a losing trade — non-negotiable.
A stop loss limits your maximum loss per trade. Without one, a 2% loss can turn into 20%. Our engine places stops at 1.5x ATR from entry — wide enough to avoid noise but tight enough to protect capital. Never move a stop further from entry — that's how accounts blow up.
