Setting Minimum FCM Account Risk Parameters

All of your accounts receive the default parameters that you set here. While the title of this page is Minimum, most of the settings are for maximum settings, such as setting the maximum trade size limit. These settings ensures that if the default risk settings are changed in the Default Account Risk Parameters page as well as settings of individual accounts at that FCM the changes will not be accepted if they violate the settings used here. For example, if the trade size limit is set here to 500 then a trade size limit of 600 will not be accepted anywhere..

There are three sections: Single Trade Limits, Overall Account Limits and Parameters.
