Risk Management and Position Control

Stop Loss and Take Profit Settings

We require stop loss orders for trades exceeding specific thresholds to mitigate risks. Take profit orders close positions automatically once target prices are reached. Both can be assigned during order placement or adjusted during open trades.

Trailing stops adjust stop loss levels automatically in response to favorable price movements, locking in gains while allowing further upside potential. Minimum trailing distances vary by instrument and current volatility.

Margin Requirements and Leverage Control

Margin requirements depend on instrument type and selected leverage. Major forex pairs require margins as low as 0.33% at 1:300 leverage, while exotic pairs may require 2-5%. Margin is calculated in real-time to prevent overexposure.

Malaysian traders can adjust leverage via the client portal with immediate effect on new trades; existing positions retain original leverage. Margin call alerts activate at 40% equity, and stop out occurs at 20% to protect account capital.
