Stop Loss Rule

Learn everything you need to know about how to use a stop loss on CTI funded accounts.

Our data shows that traders who trade without a stop-loss usually don’t last long. Using a stop-loss helps protect your account and encourages smart risk management.

Trading without a stop loss puts your capital at risk and is not sustainable in the long run.

Example: If you open a buy trade on EURUSD, you need to set your stop loss within 1 minute. You can either:

  • Enter the stop loss level before placing the trade, or

  • Place the trade first and then add the stop loss within 60 seconds.

This ensures that every trade is protected and complies with our risk management rules.


🔷 What Happens If I Don’t Use a Stop Loss?

Not using a stop loss is considered a soft breach, which means:

  • It won’t terminate your account, but our system automatically closes the trade after 1 minute if no stop loss is placed.

  • You’ll be notified of the trade's closure.

  • Any profits made without using a Stop Loss won't count toward your profit target objective.


🔷 How To Use the Stop Loss?

  1. Your stop loss must be visible on the platform. ‘Stealth’ stop losses are not allowed.

  2. Place a stop loss within 1 minute after entering a trade.

  3. Use realistic stop loss levels that reflect genuine risk management.
