Stop Loss Policy

1 min. readlast update: 05.12.2026

Stop losses are recommended but not mandatory.

However, the consistent absence of stop losses may be treated as evidence of poor risk management when combined with:

  • Large adverse floating losses
  • Excessive leverage
  • Recovery-style trading
  • Aggressive averaging
  • Correlated exposure concentration

OneFunded does not prohibit discretionary trading without stop losses. However, unmanaged downside exposure must remain professionally controlled.

Risk Review & Payout Monitoring

Accounts generating profits through large adverse floating losses without defined downside protection may be flagged during:

  • Risk reviews
  • Payout reviews
  • Manual account evaluations

Example review statement:

“Your payout is under risk review because a significant portion of your profit was generated through unmanaged no-SL exposure and large adverse floating losses. Stop losses are not mandatory, but OneFunded does not allow reckless risk concentration or recovery-style trading that exposes the account to excessive unmanaged downside.”

In certain cases, continued funding may require:

  • Mandatory stop loss usage
  • Reduced exposure limits
  • Increased manual monitoring
  • Additional payout verification

Any other strategy, execution style, or trading behavior deemed manipulative, exploitative, abusive, unrealistic, or inconsistent with professional risk management standards may also be prohibited at the sole discretion of OneFunded.
