Hotcoin Fixed Risk Order Empowering Your Futures Trading
I. Feature Overview
Risk-Based Position Sizing is a newly launched risk management tool available under Advanced Orders in Hotcoin Futures.
With traditional order placement, traders need to manually calculate the order quantity based on leverage and entry price, which can be time-consuming and make it harder to manage risk precisely.
Risk-Based Position Sizing simplifies this process. Traders only need to set their estimated maximum loss and exit price (stop-loss price), and the system will automatically calculate the appropriate order quantity. Once the order is filled, a stop-loss order is automatically placed, helping traders manage risk more systematically and follow a more disciplined trading approach.
II. Key Advantages
-
Manage Risk Before Entry Set the estimated maximum loss for each trade before opening a position, helping reduce the risk of excessive losses caused by emotional decision-making or sharp market movements.
-
Automatic Position Sizing for Faster Order Placement No need for complex manual calculations. The system automatically calculates the order quantity in real time based on preset parameters, making the order placement process faster and more efficient.
-
Automatic Stop-Loss Placement Once the opening order is filled, a stop-loss order is automatically placed. There is no need to manually set a stop-loss after opening the position, helping reduce the risk of not setting one in time.

Precise Trade Management: Suitable for futures traders who strictly follow fixed risk-reward ratios and seek a more systematic approach to risk management.
Risk Notice
Slippage: The estimated loss amount is calculated using the exit price set by the trader.
