Real time trade management

The progress of each live trade is monitored in real-time so that the risk of loss arising from any trade can be controlled at all times according to our investment risk management policy. Each live trade has a stop loss order attached which will automatically close out trades that are unsuccessful and so limit the daily risk to your trading account.

Whilst our traders are vigilant with regard to potential losses, they are active in maximising the profits in any one trade. Trading positions are entered and exited conservatively to enhance the risk to return ratio.

Investment Risk – Leverage

Live trade monitoring and investment risk management is important as our intraday strategy uses leverage to amplify small market movements to generate returns. But leverage is symmetric and amplifies losses too, so risk management is critical for capital preservation.

Limited number of trades

Typically no more than one trade in each financial instrument is made per day so that we do not chase the market to make profits. On average, 90% of trades are closed within 4 hours of being opened so your market exposure is limited in this way.

No overnight risk

At the end of each trading day, usually 16:00pm, all trades are closed and resultant profits and losses are allocated to client accounts. All managed accounts remain in cash overnight and no further trades are conducted until the following trading day. In current volatile markets, there is substantial overnight risk which we do not feel obliged to take. Trading is conducted daily Tuesday to Friday.
