Frequently Asked Questions

Risk management helps you define your trading boundaries before emotions take over. By setting position limits, loss caps and exposure controls in advance, you reduce the chance of making impulsive decisions that could lead to larger-than-expected losses. No risk system eliminates trading risk entirely.

The right profile depends on your experience, capital, risk tolerance and trading style. Conservative profiles use smaller position sizes and tighter loss limits. Active profiles allow more exposure. No profile is inherently safe — choose based on what you can afford to lose, not what you hope to gain.
