Risk hierarchy
የመሣሪያ፣ የሞባይል ዳታ እና የግንኙነት አውድ: ይህ መመሪያ ለኢትዮጵያ የመዳረሻ ሁኔታ ተዘጋጅቷል።
| Level | Limit | Trigger/action |
|---|---|---|
| Trade | Maximum complete cash loss | Reject/resize before entry |
| Symbol | Total long/short exposure | No hidden duplicate positions |
| Correlation | Combined USD/gold/crypto theme | Reduce overlapping trades |
| Day | Realised + planned open risk | Stop new trades |
| Week | Cumulative loss/drawdown | Pause and review |
| Operational | Disconnect/order uncertainty | Reconcile before any action |
Complete planned loss
Planned loss = price-to-stop movement × contract value × volume + spread + both commission sides + expected holding cost + slippage allowance. Required margin is calculated separately. Use the smaller volume produced by the risk budget and platform volume step.
Pre-trade checklist
- Exact symbol/account suffix and specification.
- Entry, invalidation and stop price.
- Cash-loss budget and derived volume.
- Current spread/commission/swap.
- HMR/news/weekend window.
- Existing correlated exposure.
- Server-side SL accepted.
- Ticket recorded for reconnect.
Stop-trading rules
| Condition | Required response |
|---|---|
| Daily loss limit reached | No new positions until next planned session |
| Two rule violations | Stop immediately and review |
| Platform state uncertain | No retry until Orders/History reconciled |
| Spread above tested maximum | Skip entry |
| HMR margin buffer insufficient | Reduce or skip |
| Emotional/revenge decision | Mandatory pause |
Post-trade audit
Record planned versus realised entry, exit, loss, spread, commission, swap and slippage. Mark whether the disconnect/recovery procedure was followed. Strategy outcome and rule compliance are separate: a winning rule violation is still a failed process.

ተደጋጋሚ ጥያቄዎች
Margin equals risk ነው?
No. Margin is collateral; complete cash loss depends on exposure, stop, costs and execution.
One percent rule required ነው?
No universal percentage exists; choose an affordable documented limit and validate it.
Stop loss removes all risk?
No. Gaps/slippage and platform/connection failures remain.
Connection drops after Buy; what first?
Reconnect and inspect Orders/History before sending any second request.
