Use of stop-loss while trading
At Global4EX, the use of a stop-loss order is optional and left to the discretion of each trader, depending on their individual trading strategy and risk management approach.
A stop-loss is not mandatory under Global4EX rules. Traders are not required to place a stop-loss on every trade in order to remain compliant.
However, a stop-loss allows traders to define an automatic exit level for a trade, helping to limit potential losses and manage downside risk more effectively.
🔹 Role of Stop-Loss in Risk Management
When used correctly, stop-loss orders can:
• Help limit unexpected losses
• Reduce emotional decision-making
• Support a structured and rule-based trading process
Stop-losses act as a protective mechanism, especially during volatile market conditions or periods of reduced liquidity.
🔑 Key Notes
• Stop-loss usage is optional, not mandatory
• No penalty is applied for trading without a stop-loss
• Traders remain fully responsible for:
o Managing open risk
o Respecting Maximum Daily Loss rules
o Respecting Maximum Loss rules
• Absence of a stop-loss does not excuse breaches of risk limits
📝 Explanation
While not required, Global4EX strongly recommends the use of stop-loss orders as part of a responsible and professional risk management plan.
