At Scap Firm, we prioritize disciplined risk management to ensure the long-term success of our users and the integrity of our program. Adhering to the following guidelines will help you meet our standards and optimize your growth potential.
Stop Loss
We strongly recommend that every position, market order, pending stop order, or pending limit order includes a stop-loss. Ideally, the maximum risk per position should not exceed 1% of the account balance, and whenever possible, it should be even lower. While not mandatory for every trade, this approach promotes consistent and controlled risk management.
At Scap Firm, our Risk Engine monitors Execution activity exhaustively and flags any patterns of excessive risk exposure. If a user consistently exceeds the recommended 1% risk per position, our Risk Department will closely review their performance and evaluate a significant sample of orders to determine whether they are following responsible risk practices.
For your own benefit and long-term success, we strongly encourage you to review our Risk Engine section, which outlines how risk is measured, monitored, and factored into user evaluations.
Leverage
Scap Firm applies specific leverage settings to each user account, based on the selected program and instrument class:
1:30 for Forex pairs
1:10 for Indices, Metals, and Oil
users are allowed to use the full margin available under these settings, but are strictly prohibited from exceeding the official leverage limits.
In the event that an incorrect leverage configuration is applied to an account (due to technical or administrative error), it is the user’s responsibility to ensure they operate within the correct leverage parameters as defined in their program. Any Execution activity that exceeds these limits may be reviewed and penalized.
To protect both the user and the firm, the Risk Department reserves the right to apply temporary restrictions—such as leverage reductions or position size limits—in coordination with our Risk Engine, whenever necessary. These measures help maintain account integrity, encourage disciplined Execution practices, and uphold the long-term sustainability of the program.
Risk Department Oversight
Our Risk Department reserves the right to enforce specific risk parameters when necessary. These parameters may include additional limits on leverage, position size, or other factors to manage account risk effectively. Such measures are reviewed periodically and may be adjusted based on Execution behavior.
Circumstances prompting these actions include:
Consistently exceeding risk limits, such as the 1% per position guideline.
Multiple accounts being compromised due to high-risk Execution practices.
Insufficient Execution history for a reliable evaluation of profitability.
