CTC Trading System - Risk Management & Terms
Leverage
Leverage multiplies your trading position using borrowed funds. The CTC system automatically recommends optimal stop-loss levels and contract sizes based on your selected leverage ratio:
• 5x or below: Low risk
• 6-10x: Moderate risk
• 10-24x: High risk
• 25x+: Extreme risk
Position Sizing
Calculated as: (Trade Size) × (Leverage)
→ Determines your actual market exposure
Capital Protection
Always practice proper fund allocation:
• Never keep all capital on exchange
• Maintain separate trading and reserve accounts
• Utilize cold storage for long-term holdings
Smart Stop-Loss
CTC's intelligent stop-loss feature:
• Converts to market order when triggered
• Auto-calculates optimal placement
• Prevents premature exits or excessive losses
→ Integrated with TradingView for precision
Fee Optimization
• Market orders: ~0.075% fee
• Limit orders: ~0.025% rebate
Note: Higher leverage increases fee impact proportionally
