Alerts related to account risk, such as margin calls or stop-out levels. These notify the trader when risk limits are approached. For instance, the cTrader ID notification settings allow alerts for “Margin call threshold reached” as an email or push. A risk warning might be triggered when account drawdown exceeds a percentage, or when available margin falls below a threshold. In practice, a robot could issue a risk warning if it hits its daily loss limit, alerting the trader to intervene or shut it down.
