Risk Management Tools

Position Sizing Calculators

Deriv’s platform incorporates calculators to determine optimal position sizes relative to account balance and risk levels. Input your stop loss distance and risk percentage to receive recommended lot sizes. We advise limiting risk exposure to 2% per trade to safeguard capital. Margin calculators estimate required funds before trade execution, preventing over-leveraging. Real-time margin monitoring signals margin call thresholds, and automatic closures activate at 50% margin levels to protect against losses.

Stop Loss and Take Profit Orders

All Deriv platforms support guaranteed stop loss orders that close positions at the specified price, regardless of market gaps. Take profit orders close trades automatically once target prices are reached. Trailing stops adjust stops dynamically as the market moves favorably. Negative balance protection ensures that clients cannot lose more than their deposited funds, even during extreme volatility or slippage events. These tools help Botswana traders manage risk effectively within volatile markets.
