1. What is “Fixed Risk” in the Chart Trading Interface?
“Fixed Risk” is an intelligent order assistance tool designed to help you define the maximum acceptable loss for a single trade before entering a position. Based on this amount, the system automatically calculates the appropriate position size. By productizing the “risk-first” approach commonly used by professional traders, this feature allows you to establish clear risk boundaries before opening a position, effectively reducing the risk of overexposure caused by emotional decisions or manual calculation errors.
The chart trading interface provides an intuitive and efficient visual trading experience. Within the interface, both the “+ menu” and the “right-click menu” integrate the “Fixed Risk” feature, allowing you to quickly access the tool and complete risk-controlled order setup with ease. This feature helps improve overall trading efficiency and user experience.
2. Key Advantages of the “Fixed Risk” Feature
- Fixed Risk per Trade | Control Maximum Loss
You can directly set the maximum loss per trade (e.g., 50 USDT) without manually calculating position size, leverage, or stop-loss distance. The system automatically calculates the appropriate position size based on your input, helping keep risk within your predefined limit.
- Risk-Reward Strategy Trading | Automated Parameter Calculation
Supports order placement based on predefined risk-reward ratios (e.g., 1:2, 1:3). The system automatically generates corresponding take-profit and stop-loss levels along with the suggested position size, simplifying the process and reducing calculation errors.
- Quick Order Simulation | Preview Trade Parameters
You can quickly access the “Fixed Risk” feature via right-click on the chart. After entering the maximum loss and risk-reward ratio, you can preview entry price, take-profit, and stop-loss levels without placing an actual order, enabling efficient trade evaluation.
- Conditional Orders | Automated Entry on Trigger
After setting the trigger price, maximum loss, and risk-reward ratio, the system will automatically execute the order when market conditions are met. This is particularly useful for breakout strategies, helping you enter the market under predefined risk controls.
