Are Stop Losses Required?

Updated over a week ago

No, stop losses aren't mandatory for your simulated trades in Seacrest Markets challenges. But we strongly recommend using them - it's a smart way to manage risk and protect your progress.


A stop loss is an automatic order that closes your trade if it hits a set price, capping potential losses. Think of it as a safety net: It prevents small dips from turning into big problems, giving you more control in volatile markets.


Key Benefits:

  • Limits Losses: Defines your max risk per trade (e.g., 1% of your account).

  • Builds Discipline: Encourages planning ahead, not reacting in the heat of the moment.

  • Fits Our Rules: Helps you stay under daily/max drawdown limits without constant monitoring.

Ultimately, it's your choice - trade freely. But incorporating stop losses leads to more consistent, stress-free results.
