Risk Rule
A limit you set on how much you can lose or risk.
Definition
A risk rule is a guardrail — for example a maximum daily loss, a max loss per trade, or a cap on open positions. Prop firms impose their own; many traders set personal ones too. The app can track them, but they only become enforced limits when you configure real rules.
Example
Your risk rule is "no more than 2% of the account on any single trade". You size every position to respect it.
