The5ers suggests a risk management discipline, which traders can follow to comply with this Program’s guidelines.

The following are the characteristics of the Risk Management required and its definitions, which the Trader should fully comprehend and self-enforce for optimizing a growth milestone target.

Stop Loss
The5ers suggests an ideal risk management recipiency, that requires submitting a proper stop-loss order for every position, market order, pending stop order, and pending limit order.
It is suggested, although not required for every position, market order, pending stop order, or pending limit order to contain a stop loss at a price level, which represents a maximum money risk of 1%, and preferably less.
Leverage
The Fund applies leverage settings to the Trader’s accounts, as described on the Program’s description page. The Trader is allowed to use the full margin available by the Program’s leverage. By any circumstance, if wrong leverage was given, the Trader is forbidden to exceed the official leverage published for the Program.

The risk department reserves the right to request funded traders to apply specific risk parameters to accurately assess risk within their accounts. These parameters may include but are not limited to leverage limits or position size constraints. It’s important to note that these requirements may be temporary in nature and subject to periodic review and adjustment by the risk department as necessary.

Few scenarios but not limited to:
  • Multiple blown accounts due to risky trading behavior
  • Not enough trading history for the firm to make enough judgment on your profitability

Our risk management evaluation considers the percentage of risk taken on each position; however, this percentage is not fixed. It varies based on several factors, including your account size, the number of open positions, and your risk appetite. We tailor our approach to ensure it aligns with your overall trading profile, aiming to balance potential returns with the appropriate level of risk for your specific circumstances.
