How Altrady enforces your risk rules when you trade

Once you have set risk rules for an account, Altrady checks every order against them before it reaches the exchange. This guide shows what that looks like while you trade, including an order being stopped because it would break one of your rules.

Risk protection runs on every order

When an account has saved rules, the Risk management tab shows Risk protection is ON, with the promise spelled out: every order is checked against your rules before it goes to the exchange. Each account lists the rules it is enforcing (here, Max risk per trade: 1.0%). A single switch turns protection off for all accounts, and every account has its own toggle, so you can pause enforcement without losing the rules you set.

What a blocked order looks like

As you fill in an order, Altrady works out its risk live. If the order would break a rule you set to Block, the ticket changes before you can send it:

1. the rule that is breached, with This order beside Your rule so you can see by how much: here the order risks 6.77% of equity against a 1% limit
2. an Ignore option. Overriding is allowed, but the ignored rule is logged in your journal, so the decision stays on the record
3. the Place order button now reads Blocked, with the number of rules in the way. While it is blocked, the order does not go to the exchange

More than one rule at once

When an order breaks several rules, the shield lists them all together, colour-coded:

A red row is a Block (here Max leverage, 5x against a 3x limit); an amber row is a Warn (Max risk per trade, 6.76% against a 1% limit). The legend at the foot says it plainly: Red blocks. Amber warns. The Place order button counts only the blocking rules, so a single red rule is enough to hold the order even when the amber ones would let it through.

Warn versus Block, at the moment of the trade

The level you chose for each rule decides what happens here:

• a Warn rule lets the order through but flags it, so you see the warning and can still go ahead on purpose
• a Block rule stops the order until you bring it back inside the limit, or consciously choose to ignore it

Either way the check runs inside Altrady before anything reaches the exchange, and either way an override is recorded, so your journal reflects the moments you traded outside your own rules.

Breaches also show in your notifications

The risk check is not only on the order ticket. The notifications panel (the bell, top right) has a Risk tab that collects rule breaches across your accounts, each showing the account, the rule, and where the current value sits against your limit, with a Manage rules link back to the Risk management tab. It is where a breach that is already live, rather than one you are about to create, surfaces.

Bringing an order back inside the rules

The quickest fix is usually to change the order rather than the rule: reduce the size, tighten the stop, or lower the leverage until the risk figure drops under your limit. As soon as the order sits inside every rule, the button returns to a normal Place order. If a limit itself is wrong, change it on the Risk management tab: see setting risk rules.

Still stuck?

If an order is blocked and you are not sure which rule or why, open the shield on the order ticket to see the comparison, or check the account’s rules on the Risk management tab. Reach out through support chat any time.
