Setting Take Profit and Stop Loss on Quotex Bot

Proper risk management is the difference between consistent trading and blowing your account. Quotex Bot's automated Take Profit, Stop Loss and Timer features let you set clear boundaries for every trading session.

Why Risk Management Matters in Martingale Trading

The martingale strategy is powerful but can lead to rapid losses if a losing streak exceeds your sequence length. Without Take Profit and Stop Loss, traders often fall into the trap of "just one more trade" — which can turn small losses into account-destroying sessions.

Quotex Bot's auto-stop features remove emotion from the equation. Once you set your limits, the bot enforces them automatically — no second-guessing.

💡 Important: Both Take Profit and Stop Loss in Quotex Bot are based on NET profit/loss — that's wins minus losses. This gives you the true picture of your session performance.

Take Profit — Stop When You're Winning

Take Profit automatically stops the bot when your session net profit reaches your target. For example, if you set Take Profit at $50, the bot stops and shows an alert the moment your net profit hits $50.

How to Set Take Profit

  • In the sidebar, check the ✅ Take profit at checkbox
  • Enter your target profit amount (e.g. 50)
  • Start trading — bot stops automatically when net profit reaches your target

Recommended Take Profit Settings

  • Conservative: 10-20% of account balance per session
  • Balanced: 20-30% of account balance per session
  • Aggressive: 30-50% of account balance per session

Stop Loss — Protect Your Account

Stop Loss automatically stops the bot when your session net loss reaches your limit. This is your most important protection — it ensures one bad session doesn't devastate your account.

How to Set Stop Loss

  • In the sidebar, check the 🛑 Stop loss at checkbox
  • Enter your maximum loss amount (e.g. 20)
  • Start trading — bot stops automatically if net loss reaches your limit

Recommended Stop Loss Settings

  • Conservative: 5-10% of account balance per session
  • Balanced: 10-15% of account balance per session
  • Never risk more than 20% of your account in a single session

Timer Stop — Control Session Duration

The Timer feature stops the bot after a set number of minutes. This is useful for disciplined trading — you trade for a fixed window then step away, regardless of results.

  • Check the ⏰ Stop after checkbox
  • Enter minutes (e.g. 30 for a 30-minute session)
  • Live countdown appears on the trading page
  • Bot stops automatically when timer runs out

Combining All Three — The Complete Risk Setup

For maximum protection, use all three together. Whichever condition triggers first stops the bot:

🎯
Take Profit: $30

Stop when I've made $30 net profit this session

🛑
Stop Loss: $15

Stop if net loss reaches $15 this session

Timer: 45 min

Stop after 45 minutes regardless of results

This setup gives you a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio and limits session duration. Perfect for disciplined, sustainable trading.

⚠️ Remember: These settings reset when you click Start Trading again. Always double-check your risk settings before each session, especially when switching between demo and live accounts.
