📉What Kind of Swings Can You Expect — and How Does the Robot Handle Them?


📉What Kind of Swings Can You Expect — and How Does the Robot Handle Them?

Today, we’re shifting focus to the other side of the equation: risk and capital protection.

How Do Robots Manage Risk?

Each robot is equipped with a built-in protection system that shields your account during market fluctuations.

For most strategies with a risk level of 2–3 and variable stop-loss (see client zone), here’s how it typically works:

  • Normal drawdowns: 5–10%
  • Larger drops during market stress: 15–30%
  • Around 30% loss: the robot starts gradually closing losing positions to allow room for recovery
  • Around 50% loss: all trades are closed and the remaining capital is preserved

This mechanism is a last-resort safety net. Based on historical data, it has never been triggered, and the chance of it happening is extremely low.

Worst-Case Scenario Example:

Let’s say your account balance is $40,000.

During normal trading, your balance may fluctuate — 5% drawdowns (~$2,000) are totally standard.
This means that from time to time, your account might drop temporarily by that amount and then recover.

But in the case of a new, extreme market event — something like COVID, the 2008 crisis, or a major geopolitical shock:

  • A 25% drawdown (~$10,000) could trigger the robot to begin closing select positions to minimize losses and prepare for recovery. These are controlled losses and usually small.
  • Up to this point, everything is still within the robot’s risk management plan.
  • But if losses deepen toward 40–50% ($16,000–$20,000) — outside historical models — the system will step in and shut down open trades to preserve what’s left.
  • In the worst-case scenario, the maximum loss is 50%.
  • You always retain your remaining balance — ready to restart or move to a new strategy.

Could This Really Happen?

Based on backtests and stress tests: this scenario is considered highly unlikely.
Still, we believe it’s essential to have these protections in place — because the future is uncertain, and more extreme conditions could occur.

You can also adjust the robot’s performance level before launching, based on your personal risk tolerance.

How Does This Compare to Other Investments?

Markets like ETFs, stocks, mutual funds, and crypto experience similar drawdowns — especially during economic crises or recessions.

So what’s the difference?

  • Traditional investments tend to crash fast — and then take months or even years to recover.
    After the 2008 crisis, many ETFs took 5+ years to bounce back — some even over 10.

With robots, it’s different:
They can pause, adapt, and resume — no waiting for a miracle rebound.
That’s why we often say:
Robots are like “fast ETFs.”

The Goal Isn’t Zero Risk — That Doesn’t Exist

The goal is to have:

✅ Risk under control
✅ Clear protection limits
✅ A plan for even the worst-case scenarios
