What is Maximum Open Risk?

Modified on Fri, 24 Apr at 8:29 PM

Maximum Open Risk refers to the total amount of floating (unrealised) loss across all your open positions at any given time.

At Hantec Trader, your combined open exposure must not exceed 3% of your starting account balance.

How it works

This rule applies to the total floating loss from one or multiple open trades.

It is calculated in real-time based on your current open positions.

If your floating loss exceeds the 3% threshold at any moment, it will result in a hard breach of your account.

Example

Starting Balance: $50,000

Maximum Open Risk (3%): $1,500

If you have multiple open trades with a combined floating loss of $1,800, your total exposure would be 3.6%, which exceeds the allowed limit and results in a violation.

Key Points

Applies to unrealised (floating) losses only

Includes all open trades combined, not per trade

Monitored continuously in real time

Breaching this rule results in an immediate hard breach

This rule is designed to ensure traders manage their exposure carefully and avoid excessive risk at any point in time.
