Risk Management
9 nodes
Risk Management nodes control when a strategy acts, how much it risks per trade, and where stop-loss and take-profit levels are placed. They act as the protective layer between your signal logic and live order execution.
Where risk nodes fit in a strategy
- 1.Activate / Deactivate — gate the strategy using Activator and Deactivator based on macro conditions.
- 2.Size the position — use Risk Per Trade + Position Sizing to determine unit count from your equity and stop distance.
- 3.Set levels — attach Stop Loss and Take Profit (or Risk/Reward) to define exit prices before entry.
- 4.Emergency stop — connect a Kill Signal to halt everything when a drawdown or anomaly condition fires.
Latches strategy ON when the last input value is non-zero. Stays active until a Deactivator fires.
Latches strategy OFF when the last input value is non-zero. Inverse complement of Activator.
Global emergency stop. Sets kill switch ON while last input = 1, OFF when input = 0.
Calculates how many units to buy: riskAmount ÷ priceRisk, where priceRisk = entry − stop.
Converts account equity into a dollar risk budget: equity × riskPercentage.
Derives stop-loss and take-profit price levels to hit a target R:R ratio from entry price.
Computes the stop price below entry via percentage, fixed amount, pips, or money risk.
Computes the target price above entry via percentage, fixed amount, pips, or money target.
Calculates optimal allocation fraction from win rate and win/loss ratio: K% = (W×R − L) / R.
