Risk management is a critical aspect of successful trading, and Galileo FX offers advanced tools to help traders protect their investments. The five-tier loss protection mechanism within Galileo FX is designed to mitigate risks by offering various levels of control over trades. These tiers include the Stop Loss setting, Max Orders, Consecutive Signals, Lot Size, and Trailing Start & Step.

The Stop Loss setting is perhaps the most crucial component, as it limits the potential loss on any given trade. By setting a Stop Loss, you ensure that your trade will automatically close if the market moves against you by a certain amount. For example, setting a Stop Loss of 50 pips on a USD/JPY trade will protect you from a significant loss if the market moves unfavorably.

The Max Orders setting allows you to limit the number of trades Galileo FX can open simultaneously. This is particularly useful in volatile markets where opening too many trades can quickly lead to large drawdowns. For instance, setting the Max Orders to 2 ensures that Galileo FX will not overexpose your account to the market.

Consecutive Signals is another layer of protection, allowing you to decide how many consecutive bullish or bearish signals are required before entering a trade. Higher values in this setting mean fewer trades but with potentially higher accuracy. Lot Size, on the other hand, controls the amount of capital risked per trade. By using a smaller lot size, such as 0.01, you minimize the risk of large losses while still participating in market movements.

Finally, the Trailing Start & Step settings enable dynamic risk management by adjusting the Stop Loss as the trade becomes profitable. This feature is particularly useful for locking in profits while allowing the trade to continue if the market moves favorably. By utilizing these five tiers of loss protection, you can significantly reduce your risk exposure and enhance the stability of your trading strategy with Galileo FX.
 
Thank you, @Joeboy. Could you kindly recommend how to avoid opening simultaneous contradictory trades for the same market? I noticed that the script opens contradictory trades (buy & sell) at the same time for the same market (e.g., NZDUSD, USDJPY). The consecutive bullish and bearish signals were 4 and 4, respectively.
If you are utilizing MT4 you can allow the software to go Long only or Short only trades. In that way you can set the bot to trade along with your bias
