Risk management
Risk, kept in check.
Choose your risk level, set your limits, and the guard rails watch over your account.
Risk is shown on every strategy.
You always know what you are getting into: every strategy shows its risk level and its maximum loss at the top of its page, right next to its gains.
- A level, from conservative to extreme, and a colour from green to red: you read the risk at a glance
- A maximum loss written as a percentage of your account, per position, per day or per month depending on the strategy
- Always in the same place, on every strategy, and every term explains itself on hover
Four levels, five letters.
One word for the level, one letter for the period: that is all it takes to read the risk of a strategy.
Conservative
Small positions, small dips. Your account moves gently: slower gains, shallow dips.
Moderate
The balance. The middle ground: real gains, and dips that stay recoverable.
Aggressive
Bigger, faster. Larger positions and faster gains, with deep dips that are part of the ride.
Extreme
The maximum. Outsized gains are possible, and so is losing most of the account. Keep it for capital you can afford to lose.
The letter indicates the period.
It follows the percentage and says over what period the maximum loss applies. On hover, it is spelled out in full.
P per position
S per sequence
D per day
W per week
M per month
Sized to your capital.
Every position taken on your account is a share of your capital, never a fixed amount. And you are the one who sets the size of that share.
The same share on every account.
A 10,000 € account and a 50,000 € account take the same position, as a percentage of their capital. The strategy adapts to you, not the other way round.
- The size of every order is worked out for your account, in the same proportion as on the strategy
- A deposit or a withdrawal? The share adjusts on its own from the next position on
- The risk shown on the strategy is the same for all its subscribers, whatever their balance
Your exposure sets the share.
The exposure is one simple setting: it enlarges or reduces every copied position, without changing anything in the strategy’s logic.
- From ×0.1 to ×5: at ×1 you follow the strategy exactly, at ×0.5 you take half as much, at ×2 twice as much
- Your real risk is shown next to the setting, even before you confirm
- Adjustable at any time from your dashboard
Too high, the copy drifts.
A higher exposure amplifies everything, gains and losses alike. And the higher you go, the further your results drift from the strategy’s.
- No amplification, up to ×1
- Heads up, above ×1
- Strong amplification, above ×2
We warn you. Above ×1, a note appears under the setting. Above ×2, a warning. The choice stays yours.
The market weighs more. The bigger your positions, the more slippage, spread and liquidity weigh on every order. Your results then move away from the strategy’s, up as well as down.
Margin gets tighter. Every position locks part of your capital at your broker: the margin. The bigger your positions, the less reserve is left to absorb a drop. When it runs short, the broker can refuse an order or close positions.
A ceiling holds the line. A strategy can set a maximum exposure for its subscribers, and a lower one still at some brokers. Beyond it, the levels are greyed out in your dashboard.
Capped at your threshold.
Enable it and set the loss you do not want to go past. The moment your account reaches that threshold, your positions are closed and the copy stops, within seconds.
As a percentage. You set a maximum drop as a percentage of your account. As soon as it is reached over the period, everything is closed.
As a floor. You set a floor amount. If your account falls to it, everything is closed, whatever you have gained in the meantime.
As a loss over the period. You set the most you accept to lose over the day, the week or the month. The loss counts from the start of the period, then the limit starts afresh.
Paused around the announcements.
An economic announcement can turn everything upside down in seconds. With News Guard, your account sits out the major announcements, from an hour before to an hour after. It is a rule of the strategy, in its provider’s hands.
An hour before. The strategy is paused and your open positions are closed. When the announcement lands, your account has nothing at stake.
During. No position opens for the whole window, through to the last announcement. There is nothing for you to do.
An hour after. The copy resumes on its own, with your settings. The pause and the resume both show in your notifications.
No guard rail is absolute.
We would rather tell you: in exceptional conditions, a loss can exceed the threshold you set. That is true on Javlot as on every automated platform.
- A failure of the broker that holds your account
- A sudden crash, when the price shoots past your threshold in one move
- A price gap when the markets reopen after the weekend
- A technical outage, on our side or at a third party
