Risk Management Tools

Smart Risk Management Tools
Risk management from Variance Trading goes far beyond the industry's standard stop-loss capabilities. Defend your open positions, let out trading platform minimize your risk exposure and help you stick to your trading strategies.

  • Trailing Stop-Loss Orders: Rarely found with the majority of brokers, this feature is a dynamic safety net for your trades, actually following your order on its way up - it doesn't just rest at a stationary price that can so quickly become outside of your trading strategy.

  • Set up entry and exit strategies: Simultaneous stops allow you to set up stock position entry-and-exit strategies based on change of points, or percentage change of variables including: the bid price, ask price, trade price, trading volume, the trade profit or loss and the share profit or loss. These conditions will also generate either an audio alert or automatically route an order to the market.

  • Triggering Alerts: Establish visual and audio alerts that can be set to automatically alert you of possible trading opportunities or even forward an order to the market once your parameters have been met.


Persistent Alerts
Flexible alerts can help you in notifying market opportunities even after you logoff your trading workstation. If the conditions of your alert are met, an order will be sent to market. The alert system is truly a tool for those traders who don't want to miss any market opportunity.

Other Alerts Enhancements include: a new alert tab in the Account Manager, Inactive Alerts and Active Alerts, Order Confirmation for Alerts, Multiple Conditions and Multiple Actions, Price Parameters for Alerts (Bid, Ask, Delta, Index Alerts) and alert templates.
