Trading Risk Management & Position Management
Trading involves risk. GoldVault Pro believes in being transparent about how positions are managed and what risks exist. This page lists the main risks of gold and forex trading and of the platform's strategy.
Market risks
- Market volatility — gold and forex prices move continuously and can change sharply.
- Gold price movements — the gold price can fall as well as rise; positions can lose value.
- Forex volatility — currency pairs react to news, rates and geopolitics.
Strategy-related risks
- Drawdown — an account's value can fall from its peak before recovering or before a loss is recognised.
- Hedging — reduces but does not remove exposure; costs can still erode value.
- Position management — holding a losing position can increase a loss if the market keeps moving against it.
Account and operational risks
- Liquidity risk — in thin markets, positions may be harder to manage at expected prices.
- Margin / leverage risk — where leverage is used, both gains and losses can be magnified.
- Trading account risk — trading-account performance directly affects investment value; there is no guarantee of profit.
No strategy removes risk. GoldVault Pro's approach — holding positions and hedging — is risk
management, not risk elimination. You can lose part or all of what you invest.
