Trading bot limits: daily loss and a kill switch
Put a rules layer between your bot and the trading venue. Set order size and leverage limits, a daily loss limit and a kill switch. An order that breaks a rule should not go out.
The limits you can set in compi
In compi you can set these controls for orders sent through compi:
- Spend caps and maximum position size.
- Maximum leverage.
- A daily loss limit.
- Allowed markets and a slippage cap.
- Approval above a size you choose.
- A kill switch.
You can connect your own agent through compi. compi is the connector, not a bot that trades on its own.
What does the kill switch do?
The kill switch stops all agent and strategy activity in one tap. This page does not promise that existing positions close or that every open order is cancelled.
Know the boundary
These rules apply to orders sent through compi. They are not a promise about trades placed directly on a venue or through another tool.
No tool can remove trading risk. Only trade what you can afford to lose. Not financial advice.
