Static Accounts Risk Disclosure

Understand the key risks of trading Static Accounts under institutional liquidity, including slippage, partial fills, spread widening, and market gaps, and what traders should consider before trading.

Trading involves significant risk and is not suitable for all traders. Static Accounts use live market execution under institutional liquidity conditions. This means orders are filled based on real market liquidity, available pricing, and market conditions at the time your order reaches the market.

Key risks to understand

Slippage

During volatility spikes, low liquidity moments, market opens, or news events, your trade may fill at a worse price than expected. This can affect both entries and exits, including stop loss and take profit orders.

Partial fills

If there is not enough liquidity available at your requested price, part of your order may fill while the rest fills at different prices or fills later. In some cases, the remaining portion may not fill immediately depending on market conditions and order type.

Spread widening

Spreads can widen without notice, especially during rollovers, session opens, and high impact events. Wider spreads increase trading costs and can also cause stops to trigger earlier than expected.

Gaps and weekend risk

Holding trades overnight or over the weekend carries gap risk. Markets can open at a significantly different price than the prior close, which may lead to fills far from the intended level.

Platform and execution differences

Even when rules are identical, Platform 5 and MatchTrader may display different execution outcomes due to differences in price feeds, liquidity routing, and order handling. This can result in slightly different fills, spreads, and slippage behavior.

Technology and connectivity

Connectivity issues, latency, VPS instability, platform interruptions, or device problems can lead to delayed execution, missed trade management, or unexpected outcomes. You are responsible for maintaining a stable trading setup.

Real time drawdown monitoring

Drawdown is monitored in real time using whichever is lower between balance and equity. Because floating losses affect equity immediately, a drawdown breach can occur during an open position even if the market later reverses.

Personal responsibility

You are responsible for your strategy, risk management, and trading decisions. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose, and ensure you fully understand how live execution, liquidity conditions, and fixed risk limits can impact your results and account status.
