Why Risk Management Matters
ASIC research shows most retail clients lose money trading CFDs. When ASIC brought in stronger protections such as leverage limits and negative balance protection, aggregate retail losses fell by 91% in the first six months. The lesson is simple: good risk controls make a real difference.
That is why trading risk management tools are built into Skyward Invexa from the start, not added as an extra.

How Position Sizing Works
Position sizing means deciding how big each trade should be based on how much you are willing to lose. Many traders follow the 1% rule: never risk more than 1% of their balance on a single trade.
| Example | Value |
|---|---|
| ExampleAccount balance | ValueAU$1,000 |
| ExampleRisk per trade (1%) | ValueAU$10 |
| ExampleDistance to stop-loss | Value2% |
| ExamplePosition size | ValueAU$500 |
Skyward Invexa does this maths for you. Set your risk per trade, and the AI sizes every position to match.
Understanding Risk and Reward
Every Skyward Invexa trade has a planned risk, set by the stop-loss, and a planned reward, set by the take-profit. With a 1:2 risk/reward, you aim to make AU$20 for every AU$10 you risk. You do not need to win every trade to stay on track, though results are never guaranteed and costs apply.Example Risk Settings to Start From

Protections Built Into Your Account
- ASIC leverage limits: retail leverage is capped, for example 30:1 on major forex pairs, 20:1 on gold, 5:1 on shares and 2:1 on crypto.
- Negative balance protection: under ASIC rules, retail CFD clients cannot lose more than the money in their account.
- Full trade log: see why every trade was opened and how it was managed.
Spread Your Risk
Do not rely on one market. Crypto, forex, gold and shares often react differently to the same news. Trading a mix, in small sizes, can help smooth out the ups and downs.
