How do I set risk limits per trader?

Question

Accepted Answer

Set limits through the account type a trader receives: loss limits, lot and position caps, leverage and instruments. For funded or scaled traders, use a separate account type with tighter or looser limits. Avoid one-off manual limits that are hard to track and apply consistently.
Approach:
Standard tiers: each account size and phase has its own rule set.
Scaled traders: a separate account type with appropriate limits.
Higher-risk segments: for example lower leverage on crypto.
Exceptions: handled by creating a new account on a different type, documented.
Keeping limits in rule sets, rather than per-person settings, makes them consistent and auditable. On PropExecutor, account types point at rule sets, and several account types can share one, so a change of policy for a segment is a new rule version applied to new accounts.
### Example
A firm offers standard $50,000 accounts with a 5% daily limit and 5-lot cap. Traders who scale to $100,000 receive a separate account type with a 4% daily limit and a maximum risk per trade rule. Every scaled trader gets the same limits, and the rule set version records exactly what applied.
Document each segment's limits on the rules page.
