Risk control
How risk is controlled.
Every tizbot system has hard limits written into its code and tested on the full 2019–2026 history. This page explains them, together with what you should expect from backtested and live results.
Risk control
How risk is controlled
Every system has a hard limit on what it can lose, written into the code and tested on the full history.
Zuno: daily loss limit
If a day goes badly, Zuno closes everything and stops until the next day. In 7.8 years of testing this limit was needed once, in June 2019, and the account went on to new highs.
Vono: 1% stop per trade
Each trade is closed automatically at a 1% loss and after two days at most, so no single position can grow into a large loss.
Two different markets
Gold and FX crosses move for different reasons. Running both smooths the overall result: combined, the largest dip in the backtest was −18%.
- No doubling of position size after losses.
- No manual trades on the published accounts.
- Live accounts verified on Myfxbook.
- Every settings change is dated and published.
Good to know: backtests use settings that were developed on the same 2019–2026 data, and live trading adds real-world costs such as slippage. Plan for live results to differ from the backtest, and for occasional flat periods.
Monitoring
What happens behind the scenes
- The systems run on a dedicated MetaTrader 5 server with a low-latency connection to the broker.
- A separate guardian program watches every account: daily loss, spread spikes, sudden price moves, connection problems and unusual position counts. It alerts us and can pause new trades.
- Logs are reviewed every week. Any change to a system is tested on the full history and on a demo account before it reaches a live account.
