Why You Should Use a Stop Loss
Helps protect your virtual capital by defining your exit point
Encourages disciplined, structured trading
Makes it easier to calculate your risk per trade
Prepares you for the expectations of the funded stage
What Happens If You Don’t Use One?
Your risk is considered undefined
You may unknowingly exceed your daily limits
You could breach the One-Sided Risk Exposure rule
→ If your trades on a single instrument result in more than 50% of your daily drawdown limit being lost at any point during the day, it may be treated as a breach
Our Suggestion
Even though it's not required, we recommend every trade has:
A stop loss
Or a clearly defined risk level based on your strategy
This keeps you within risk limits and builds the habits expected of funded traders.
