01 · What They Do
Two Lines, Two Jobs
A daily stop loss is a floor: once your total loss for the session hits it, trading stops. A stop profit is a ceiling: once your gain hits it, trading stops. One protects you from a bad day spiralling; the other protects a good day from being handed back.
| Limit | Triggers when | Protects against |
|---|---|---|
| Daily stop loss | Total session loss reaches your cap | A bad day becoming a blown account |
| Stop profit | Total session gain reaches your target | Giving profits back to the market |
02 · Why Automate
Willpower Fails at the Worst Time
Everyone plans to stop after a bad run — and almost nobody does, because after a loss the urge to win it back overrides the plan. That's the entire case for automaticlimits: the bot closes the session the moment a line is crossed, so the decision is already made when you're least able to make it well.
Decide once, enforce always
You set the numbers calmly, in advance. From then on there's nothing to renegotiate mid-session — the limit simply fires. That's the whole point.
03 · Setting Them
How to Size the Limits
Pick a daily stop loss you can lose without stress — a small, fixed fraction of your balance is the common approach. Set a realistic stop profit, not a fantasy one, so you actually reach it and stop. In Koala S Pro both are simple fields, applied automatically across every mode.
Stop limits cap the damage; they don't make trading safe. Binary options carry a real risk of losing capital, and most traders lose. Always run a daily stop loss, keep sizing small, and test on demo first. Koala S Pro is a tool, not financial advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are stop loss and stop profit?
A daily stop loss ends the session after a defined total loss; a stop profit (take profit) ends it after a defined gain. Together they cap both your worst and best day, so results don't run away in either direction.
How big should my daily stop loss be?
An amount you're genuinely comfortable losing in one session — commonly a small, fixed fraction of your balance. The point isn't the exact number; it's that it's set in advance and actually stops you.
Why automate them instead of doing it manually?
Because willpower fails right when you need it — after a loss, 'just one more' feels reasonable. An automatic stop closes the session for you, removing the decision from the heat of the moment.
Does Koala S Pro apply them automatically?
Yes. You set a daily stop loss and a stop profit, and the bot halts the session the instant either is hit — across every strategy mode. It's the core of its risk management.
Is a stop profit really necessary?
It's underrated but valuable. Giving back a good day's gains is a classic mistake; a stop profit locks the session while you're ahead, enforcing discipline on the upside too.
