Risk Management

How the AI Bot protects capital and minimizes losses.

The bot incorporates multiple layers of risk control to avoid excessive drawdowns and protect the pool.

Position Sizing Rules

  • Max per trade: 5% of capital allocated to bot

  • Diversification: Multiple simultaneous strategies

  • Dynamic sizing: Adjusted by current volatility

  • Conservative approach: Smaller trades in uncertain markets

Example: Bot Capital: $100,000 Max per trade: $5,000 Typical trade: $2,000-3,000

Stop Loss System

  • Hard stop loss: 2% maximum loss per trade

  • Trailing stops: On winners to protect gains

  • Time-based stops: Closes if trade takes too long

  • Volatility-adjusted: Wider stops in high vol

Example: Entry: $1,000 position Stop Loss: $980 (2% max loss) If price drops to $980 β†’ immediate auto-exit
