Assign a risk limit to a subscription

Learn how to set a risk limit to your subscriptions to control potential losses and automatically terminate the subscription if the limit is exceeded

You, as an investor, can limit potential losses from your subscriptions by assigning a risk limit to each of your subscriptions.

The risk limit is the maximum loss amount that your investment account can bear from an individual subscription. If the assigned risk limit is exceeded, the subscription will be automatically terminated.

To assign a risk limit to a subscription:

1

In the main menu, expand the respective item, such as B2COPY, MAM, or PAMM, and then click My Accounts under the desired platform, if more than one is available.

2

Click the investment account in the list.

3

In the account details, go to Subscriptions.

4

Select the subscription.

5

In the subscription row, click ⋮ (the Actions button) and select Edit in the dropdown.

Click Actions

6

In the Edit subscription popup, enter the maximum loss amount in the Loss limit field.

Risk limits for subscriptions are always denoted in the currency in which the subscribed investment account is denominated.

A risk limit can be specified as a positive or negative value (such as 200 or -200). In either case, it represents a loss on the investment account.

Click Save to apply the changes.

If the loss on the investment account caused by the subscription exceeds the assigned risk limit amount, all the open positions copied to your investment account from this subscription are closed, and you are charged the fees listed in the fee plan. After that, your investment account is unsubscribed from the master account.
