Risk Shield

How the Automatic Risk Protection System Works on Funded Accounts

Updated this week

The Rock Shield 2% is an automatic protection mechanism built into FXRK funded accounts, designed to limit excessive exposure and reinforce sustainable, controlled trading.

This system acts as a global account-level stop loss, protecting both the trader and FXRK’s operational structure.

What Is the Risk Shield 2%?

The Rock Shield 2% continuously monitors the difference between the account balance and equity.

If this difference reaches 2% of the initial balance, the system:

  • Automatically closes all open positions.

  • Stops any further exposure at that moment.

  • Prevents floating losses from continuing to increase.

This closure is fully automatic and cannot be disabled.

How the Risk Shield Is Calculated

The calculation is performed continuously and is based on:

  • The initial balance of the funded account.

  • Real-time equity.

When the difference between the two reaches 2%, the Rock Shield is triggered.

Practical Example

Funded account of $100,000

2% of $100,000 = $2,000

If equity drops to $98,000 due to floating losses:

  • The Rock Shield is triggered.

  • All open positions are automatically closed.

What Happens When the Rock Shield Is Triggered

When the Risk Shield activates:

  • Open positions are closed at the available market price.

  • The trader can continue trading after the positions are closed.

  • The Rock Shield does not invalidate the account by itself.

  • Realized losses still count toward the standard risk limits.

The Rock Shield is a protective measure for the trader, not a penalty.

Relation to Loss Limits

The Rock Shield does not replace:

  • The maximum daily loss, or

  • The maximum total loss.

It acts as an additional layer of protection, triggering before excessive floating exposure can lead to a serious breach of risk rules.

Which Accounts It Applies To

The Risk Shield 2%:

  • Applies exclusively to funded accounts, both one-phase and two-phase.

  • Is not active during Challenges.

Best Practices to Avoid Activation

  • Manage risk per trade conservatively.

  • Avoid overleveraging during periods of high volatility.

  • Do not concentrate excessive exposure in a single asset.

  • Monitor equity in real time during trading sessions.

Final Considerations

  • The Risk Shield 2% is automatic.

  • It cannot be modified or disabled.

  • Its purpose is to protect the account and promote professional, replicable trading.The Risk Shield 2% is an automatic protection mechanism built into FXRK funded accounts, designed to limit excessive exposure and reinforce sustainable, controlled trading
