Smart Stop Out – A protective mechanism in cTrader that manages how positions are closed when your account falls below the stop-out margin level. Unlike a traditional stop-out (which closes entire positions), Smart Stop-Out will partially close the largest position just enough to restore margin level, rather than closing it completely. This gives the account the best chance to recover by freeing up margin while maintaining the position’s entry point. Smart Stop-Out was designed to minimize the impact on your open positions during margin call situations – only a portion of the biggest margin-consuming trade is closed, preserving the remainder of your trades as much as possible.
