Risk, managed in layers.
On Javlot, a loss never rides on a single safeguard. It has to clear several independent ones, from how each position is sized down to the platform-wide emergency stops. Here is each of them, and what it actually covers.
Two levels of control
The first level is the discipline built into the strategy itself. The second is what the Javlot platform adds on top, on every account, continuously.
Each strategy applies its own risk discipline, shown in its published profile: how much its value has swung in the past (volatility), the largest drop it has been through (drawdown), and the type of asset it uses.
Defense in depth
The platform safeguards, from the closest to the position to the most global. Each one acts on its own: if one is not enough, the next takes over.
Every position is scaled to your capital, never copied at one size for all.
At the threshold you set, everything is closed and copying stops, via our copy infrastructure.
A limit on how much a strategy can put to work at each broker, only ever lowered.
Pauses and closes positions about an hour before a major economic announcement, then resumes.
An emergency off switch for each broker, and a full stop that closes everything.
Per position
Sized to your capital
Nobody copies "the same amount". Each position is scaled to your own capital, then adjusted by a setting chosen for the strategy. A 10,000 EUR account and a 50,000 EUR account take the same position measured as a percentage, never the same fixed amount.
Per account
Loss limit (drawdown)
You set a loss threshold. When it is reached, every position is closed and copying stops, automatically, through our copy infrastructure, typically within a few seconds. Each strategy comes with a default value suited to its profile, which you can lower at any time.
Per broker
Limit per broker
Beyond the account, a per-broker limit caps the total amount a strategy can put to work at any one broker (the company that holds your account). It moves in one direction only: it can be lowered, never raised. When a broker reaches its limit, the strategy stops opening new positions there.
Around announcements
News Guard
Some strategies are exposed to the sharp price swings around big economic announcements. News Guard pauses the strategy and closes positions about an hour before a high-impact announcement, stays out during that period, then resumes automatically about an hour after the announcement. Checked every five minutes.
Platform
Emergency stops
As a last resort, two switches. The broker halt isolates a single broker without touching the rest. The general halt is the full stop across the whole strategy: it closes every position and cuts copying from end to end.
Broker halt
An emergency off switch limited to one broker. The others keep running normally.
General halt
Full stop of the strategy. Closes every position immediately.
What we do not promise
Transparency applies to the limits of these safeguards too.
In exceptional conditions such as a broker failure, a sudden market crash, a price jump when markets reopen after the weekend, or a technical outage, a loss can exceed the limit you set. These events are rare but real, and they affect every automated platform.
