Risk simulator
Before thinking about gains, see what you could lose. Adjust capital and exposure and compare the loss at Kamla's −8% brake with a 30% drop with no protection at all.
Loss at Kamla's −8% brake
-$160 (3.2%)
With $2,000 invested and $3,000 in cash, if every position fell to the −8% brake at the same time. It is not a ceiling on the loss, nor a prediction: the note below says when it can be more.
A 30% drop with no stops
-$600 (12.0%)
The same investment in a 30% market drop with no protection at all. This is what stops exist to prevent.
In a brokerage account the brake is a check every 5 minutes while the market is open, not an order resting at the broker, and it sells at the market price: if a price opens well below the previous close, the sale comes out below −8%. In the first 15 minutes after the open, it only sells on a fall of 12% or more from the average price Kamla paid. At night and while Kamla is down it doesn't act. In the simulated wallet the brake is only checked when Kamla applies the day's decision. The simulator shows the brake's level, not a guarantee.
Educational tool with hypothetical LOSS scenarios. It projects no gains, is not financial advice and guarantees no outcomes. Trading involves risk of total loss.
