Feature Suggestion: Amount Per Trade – Risk Percentage in USD#748

Amount Per Trade - Risk USD Amount

Professional traders understand how important proper risk management is, and this feature could significantly improve that aspect within Cornix.

I would like to suggest adding an option that allows traders to define their risk per trade in a fixed USD amount, instead of only using a percentage-based risk. This would give traders much better control over their funds.

With the current percentage-based system, the actual risk amount constantly changes as the account balance fluctuates. Over time, this can make risk management less consistent. This is especially challenging for scalpers and traders who use signal bots, since they often need to manually monitor and adjust their balance to maintain consistent risk levels.

By allowing traders to set a fixed USD risk amount, they would always know exactly how much they are risking if the stop-loss is triggered. This would make risk management far more predictable and stable.

I believe Cornix should consider adding this as an additional option within the “Amount Per Trade” settings, allowing users to choose between percentage-based risk or a fixed USD risk amount.

This feature would provide traders with greater flexibility and more precise control over their risk management.

Additional Information About The Suggestion - 06.04.2026

Below is an example of both options to show how this suggestion would greatly improve the experience for the people that use Cornix.

Amount Per Trade: Risk Percentage (one of the available options)

💼 Account balance: $1,000
📉 Risk per trade: 2%
⚠️ Trade risk = $20

🔄 Now, after a few trades:
💼 New balance: $800
📉 Risk per trade (2%) = $16

➡️ Regardless of a winning or a losing trade, the risk amount keeps changing as your balance changes.

Amount Per Trade: Risk USD Amount (our suggestion)

💼 Account balance: $1,000
💲 Risk USD Amount: $20

🔄 Now, after a few trades:
💼 New balance: $800
💲 Risk USD Amount = $20

➡️ Regardless of a winning or a losing trade, the risk amount stays the same even if the balance changes.

💡 Why we think Cornix is missing one of the most important feature?

1️⃣ Position sizing & calculation
Each coin pair has a different position size, which makes it difficult and time-consuming to calculate the desired risk amount manually for each one.

2️⃣ Less control, more manual work
Since the risk amount keeps changing based on your balance, you still need to adjust it after every trade not ideal for traders aiming for full automation.

3️⃣ Less consistency
Your account balance will NOT grow steadily without manual intervention. Even with small gains, it may stagnate or decline over time.

4️⃣ More headache & red numbers for scalpers
Traders opening many trades daily will face more stress. They may stop using Cornix or avoid using their own signals altogether.

5️⃣ Risk management issues
Even with a solid risk-reward ratio (1:2 or 1:3), you can still remain stuck without manual adjustments.

6️⃣ Losing & winning streak imbalance
During a losing streak (which is normal), it takes many wins to recover. The same applies to winning streaks but what’s the point if there’s no real, trackable progress?

7️⃣ Unreliable data & journaling
You can’t fully trust backtested data or trading journals because they won’t reflect consistent, real-world results.

❓ So with all that, what’s the point of using Cornix at all?

🤔 Why should I still need to manually interfere?

💬 One might say: “Just don’t use Cornix and trade manually.”

But what if there’s a win-win situation for both Cornix and serious Telegram signal channels that actually take trading seriously?

✨ This feature could be that missing piece.

This is a great suggestion. Having the ability to set a fixed USD risk per trade would make risk management much more consistent, especially for traders running automated signals. I’d love to see Cornix implement this.

Totally agree with this suggestion. Fixed dollar risk would give way more control and make things way less stressful.

Love this idea! Percentage risk is messy when balances move

Very excited for this feature let’s goo!!!

Definitely agree, that would be so helpful! Meanwhile I’ve been adjusting % amount according to my available balance all the time on an Excel table, for my risk to remain the same. A tool to set a fixed risk would even be better.
