Assign risk limits to subscriptions

Learn how to assign risk limits to subscriptions in the Admin panel to control potential losses for investment accounts

You can assign risk limits to subscriptions in the Admin panel to help investors control potential losses.

The risk limit assigned to a subscription defines the maximum loss an investment account can incur from this subscription. If this limit is exceeded, all open positions allocated to the investment account from the subscription are closed, fees from the subscription's fee plan are applied, and the investment account is automatically unsubscribed from the master account.

To assign a risk limit to a subscription:

1

Expand the Copy Trading, PAMM, or MAM menu.

2

Go to Links.

3

If you have several platform instances (such as MT4, MT5, or cTrader), make sure you are in the correct instance, or go to it using the switcher in the upper-left page corner.

4

Select the subscription and click the identifier in the Link ID column to open the subscription details.

5

On the Properties tab, click Edit in the Risk Limits section.

6

In the Loss Limit (Max loss amount) field, enter the maximum loss amount.

Risk limits for subscriptions are always denoted in the currency in which the subscribed investment account is denominated. ‍ For example, if a risk limit of 500 USD is set, this means that once the investment account exceeds a loss of 500 USD from this subscription, the subscription will be automatically terminated.
