No Stop Loss Add-On Explained

Quick answer: The add-on lets you execute without a stop loss attached at the exact moment of entry. It does not make stop losses optional — a stop must be applied within five minutes of execution, and before the position is closed, whichever comes first.

The rule

Closing a position that never had a stop loss is a breach, regardless of how briefly it was open or whether it closed in profit. The five-minute window is time to set your stop, not permission to trade without one.

Example of a breach: entry 14:00:00 with no stop, closed in profit at 14:04:00. Inside the window, but no stop loss ever existed on the position.

Staying compliant

  1. Confirm the add-on is attached to the correct account before trading

  2. Note the position's server-side opening time

  3. Apply the stop well inside the window

  4. Confirm it's visible on the active position

Is exactly five minutes compliant? The rule allows a maximum of five minutes on server timestamps. Don't rely on a local clock or a last-second modification — place it well inside the window. The window never restarts if you change or remove the stop.

What the add-on doesn't change

Entry timing only. It doesn't exempt you from toxic trading, negative risk-to-reward, martingale, adding in drawdown, per-asset risk or hedging rules — see Toxic Trading & Risk to Reward Policy.
