What Is The Stop Loss Rule?

Stop Loss Requirement

The Stop Loss requirement is a crucial security measure designed to maintain the integrity of the system and help traders stay disciplined with risk management.

  • You must have an active Stop Loss in place at all times when entering a trade.

  • If you enter a trade without a Stop Loss, your trade will be closed automatically in a soft breach.

  • Stop Loss placement must be immediate—you cannot add it after entering the trade

How to enter your trades as a market execution with a set stop loss:

MatchTrader:

Click the Advance Order


After clicking Advance Order, you have the option "Market" or "Pending", then toggle "STOP LOSS" to SET/PLACE the level

TradeLocker: Make sure the button says market and then hit 'SL' you can now drag your SL line

MetaTrader 5 : Click 'New Order' and then SET/PLACE your stop loss

cTrader : Check the "Stop Loss" Box then SET/PLACE your stop loss level

You are allowed to modify your Stop Loss after the initial placement.

For those who prefer more flexibility, We offer a No Stop Loss add-on available for purchase, which allows you to bypass this requirement.
