Even the best strategy loses trades. What separates profitable traders is not winning every trade — it's managing the losses so they don't destroy the account.
BRIX implements professional-grade risk controls used by prop trading firms.
Every trade risks a fixed percentage of your account:
Formula: Risk Amount = Balance × Risk %
Position: Risk Amount ÷ SL Distance
Example with $1,000 account at 1% risk:
Risk Amount: $10
SL Distance: 0.21%
Position Value: $10 ÷ 0.0021 = $4,762 (using leverage)
If the bot loses more than X% in one day, it stops taking new trades. This prevents a “bad day” from becoming catastrophic.
Resets automatically at midnight UTC. Open trades continue until SL/TP hit.
If the account falls by X% from its highest point, the bot stops completely. This is the ultimate circuit breaker. Requires manual restart.
R:R (Risk:Reward) means: for every $1 you risk, how much do you make when you win?
BRIX default: 1:2 R:R
Lose: -$10 | Win: +$20
With 2:1 R:R, you can be profitable even with a 40% win rate:
10 trades, 4 wins, 6 losses:
Wins: 4 × $20 = +$80
Losses: 6 × $10 = -$60
Net: +$20 profit
Higher conviction = larger position size. This allocates risk intelligently:
Low conviction (1 engine): Small size — uncertain setup, small loss if wrong
High conviction (4 engines): Large size — very strong setup, significant profit if right, still within daily limits if wrong
