Risk management

Super Perps does not pick a trade first and think about risk later. Every position starts with a defined loss limit, and that limit is part of the decision to trade at all. If the risk does not fit, the trade does not open.

Every trade starts with a loss limit​

Before an order goes in, the agent knows the most that position can lose. Sizing follows from that limit rather than from how confident the model feels. The same process runs on every trade, so one loud signal cannot talk the agent into an oversized bet.

EntryInitial stop, the most this trade can loseTrailing stoplocks in more gain as price risesTake-profit target

Every trade opens with a fixed loss limit. As it moves into profit, the stop follows the price up.

Gains get protected automatically​

A fixed stop caps the downside, but it does nothing for a winner that gives everything back. As a trade moves into profit, Super Perps raises its stop behind the price. The longer a trade works, the more of the gain is locked in, and the exit happens without anyone watching the screen.

Three rules that do not bend​

  • The loss limit is set before entry, never widened after the fact.
  • Position size comes from that limit, not from conviction.
  • The stop only moves in the direction that protects capital.

How that shows up in the record​

Because risk is fixed up front, most losing trades end the same quiet way: a stop gets hit and the position closes. Winners are a mix of trades that reached a profit target and trades where the trailing stop closed them out in profit. The performance page breaks down how the backtest's trades actually ended.
