A Stop-Out is a risk control mechanism that automatically closes open trades when a trader’s account equity falls below a specific percentage of the used margin.
At FortressFX, the stop-out level is 80%, meaning if your account equity drops to 80% of your used margin, the system will begin closing positions automatically—starting with the largest losing trade—to protect your remaining balance.
This feature ensures that traders do not lose more than the available equity in their accounts and helps maintain platform stability.
