Every trade opened by an ELUUP AI agent is protected by automated risk controls. You define the rules once per agent, and the system enforces them on every position without manual intervention. This ensures consistent downside protection and disciplined profit taking, even when you are not monitoring the market.

​
Risk controls explained

1

Position sizing

The agent allocates only a defined percentage of the connected wallet balance to each trade. This prevents any single signal from overconcentrating your capital.
2

Stop loss

If the trade moves against you by the configured percentage, the agent exits the position immediately and returns the remaining value to the wallet base asset.
3

Trailing stop

After the trade moves in your favor, the trailing stop locks in gains by following the price upward. If the price drops from its peak by the trailing distance, the agent exits.
4

Take profit

When the trade reaches the configured profit percentage, the agent closes the position and realizes the gain.

​
Configuration fields

These values are set in the agent configuration and applied to every trade the agent opens.
Start conservative. A smaller position_size_pct and a tighter stop_loss_pct limit drawdowns while you evaluate agent performance in live markets.
All risk parameters are validated when you create or update an agent. Invalid combinations are rejected before the agent is allowed to start. To adjust these values for an existing agent, see the configure agent guide.
