Selecting a Risk Profile

Choose a profile by exposure and tolerance, not by attractive profit targets.

Education is not a profit promise or personal financial advice. Validate on demo, understand the complete risk, and keep control of every bot you start.

Profiles are sizing templates

A risk profile groups stake, multiplier, maximum steps, and stop settings. Labels such as conservative or aggressive do not replace the dollar exposure shown for your account.

Small accounts face minimum-stake pressure

If the broker minimum stake is large relative to equity, a mathematically desired percentage cannot be used. The correct response may be fewer recovery steps, a different strategy, demo use, or no trade.

Reassess after equity changes

A profile should be recalculated as account equity changes. Never increase stakes automatically only because a recent session was profitable.
