At Blue Guardian Futures, we require our traders to adhere to a maximum risk-to-reward ratio of 5:1. This means for every 10 ticks of profit you aim to achieve, your stop loss should be set at no more than 50 ticks. While we allow the use of mental stops, responsible risk management is non-negotiable. Excessive risk-taking beyond the potential reward is unacceptable and could lead to a warning, or disqualification from payouts.
Here’s a practical example: if your profit target is $100, your initial stop loss must not exceed $500.
It’s critical to respect your stop-loss points. Adjusting stops to increase risk goes against sound trading principles and our policies. Instead, focus on moving stops forward to trail and secure profits. Protect what you’ve earned, let winning trades run, and remain disciplined in executing your trading plan.
We encourage a strategic, measured approach to trading. Stick to your system. Avoid chasing losses or taking impulsive risks in hopes of a rebound. At Blue Guardian Futures, consistent discipline and calculated decisions pave the way for success.
