Daily loss cap
Define the maximum KSh amount you're willing to lose in a single trading day. Once that threshold is crossed, all further order submissions are suspended until the next session opens.
Risk Controls
What stops your bot when the market moves against you?
Learningpathz enforces your risk limits at the order level — before execution — so a bad day doesn't become a blown account.
Risk controls built into the execution layer, not bolted on
Most platforms let you set a stop-loss on a single trade. Learningpathz goes further: the risk engine evaluates every pending order against your portfolio-level constraints before it is sent to the broker. If a new order would push your open exposure above your defined maximum, it is queued — not rejected — until existing positions reduce. If your daily loss cap is hit, the circuit breaker activates and all new order submissions are halted for the rest of that trading day. This logic runs at the platform level, meaning it operates even if your own connection to the broker drops mid-session.
The four risk levers you control
Set them once; the engine enforces them on every order, every session.
Per-trade exposure limit
Set the maximum position size per trade as a fixed lot or a percentage of your account balance. The engine will not submit an order that exceeds this limit regardless of what your strategy signals.
Drawdown circuit breaker
Choose a portfolio drawdown percentage that, when reached, halts all activity and sends you an alert. This is your last line of defence against a strategy behaving unexpectedly in unusual market conditions.
Real-time exposure monitor
The azure-clean dashboard shows your current total open exposure and today's running P&L at all times, refreshed every five seconds, so you always know exactly where you stand.
What risk controls cannot do — and why that matters
Risk controls are a safeguard, not a guarantee. Extreme market events — sudden gaps at open, broker-side outages, or deep liquidity crises — can produce slippage that means your actual exit price differs from your stop level. Learningpathz will always attempt to enforce your limits, but execution in live markets depends on broker-side liquidity and speed. We document this clearly in our platform notes. The controls we provide are among the strongest available in a retail-grade tool, but they exist to reduce risk, not to eliminate it. Market risk always remains with you.
Set your limits before you go live
Configure your risk controls during onboarding — it takes less than five minutes and runs automatically from that point on.
