Sizing sequence
Namibia payment journey: Public lists cannot confirm what is enabled for one profile. Use the authenticated Personal Area (PA) as the live source for methods, limits, fees and processing estimates.
| Input | Decision |
|---|---|
| Entry and invalidation | Stop distance |
| Contract/pip value | Cash value per lot |
| Spread/commission | Entry and both sides |
| Slippage/gap allowance | Stress cost |
| Cash-loss ceiling | Affordable risk |
| Volume step | Round down to valid size |
Formula
Volume = (cash-risk ceiling − planned costs) ÷ cash loss per lot to the stop. Reject the trade when the valid minimum volume still exceeds the ceiling.
Order workflow
- Open exact symbol specification.
- Set invalidation price.
- Calculate volume and margin/HMR.
- Enter SL with the order.
- Confirm ticket and SL server-side.
- After disconnect, inspect Orders/History before action.
Execution gaps
| Situation | Risk |
|---|---|
| Fast market/news | Slippage beyond stop |
| Weekend/holiday | Opening gap |
| Wrong side/minimum distance | SL rejected |
| Local trailing stop offline | No local updates |
| Currency conversion | Statement loss differs from quote-currency estimate |
Funding boundary
A larger deposit does not justify a wider stop or larger percentage risk. Choose account/payment currency to understand conversion, then cap cash loss independently.

Frequently asked questions
Does SL guarantee the price?
No. Gaps/slippage can produce a different fill.
Should volume come from margin?
No. Derive it from complete cash loss, then check margin.
What if minimum size is too large?
Skip the trade. Verify the current Namibia Personal Area method, ownership, limits, currency, status and supporting evidence first.
Does trailing stop run while terminal is offline?
No. It is terminal-side; use a fixed server-side SL.
