Risk Management

The layered risk controls every candidate must clear before, during, and after a trade.

Risk controls reduce exposure but cannot eliminate loss. Crypto trading is high risk and no trading strategy guarantees profit. See the Risk Disclosure.

Core risk gates

  • Net-positive expected-value gate (after fees) is enforced on every candidate.
  • PostOnly-first entries; reduce-only exits; guaranteed stop-loss on every position.
  • Bounded leverage (max leverage cap), bounded concurrent positions, fractional Kelly sizing.
  • Minimum reward-to-risk and minimum-notional floors; loss-cell circuit breakers.
  • Crypto trading is high risk. You can lose your capital. No strategy guarantees profit.

What these controls do — and don't

Risk controls reduce exposure but cannot eliminate loss. They tighten what BiTi is allowed to do — they never guarantee an outcome. A no-trade is usually a control doing its job (a correct economic refusal), not a fault. See the go-live readiness flow for how these controls gate live activation.
