Risk management

At Uriel, risk management is nota safety layer — it is the core.

Most systems chase maximum profit and treat risk as an afterthought. Uriel is built the other way around: survival before profit. Risk control is the strategic centre of the system, and every other component operates inside the limits it sets.

Guiding principle

Capital preservation comes before growing profits.

We are not built around one perfect trade, but around cumulative, stable, scalable profitability — and around the discipline to slow down or stand aside when conditions demand it.

Order of priorities

What the system protects, in order.

When objectives conflict, the higher priority always wins. Profit is last by design.

01

System survival

Keeping the system solvent and operational comes before anything else.
02

Liquidity preservation

Maintaining liquidity so the strategy can always act — or step aside.
03

Exposure control

Calculated, limited, monitored exposure on every position and in aggregate.
04

Profit optimisation

Return is pursued only within the bounds set by the three priorities above.
Exposure controls

Controlled by design.

Capital is never allocated in a fixed way. It is sized dynamically against market state, risk level, volatility, existing exposure, position load and correlation between trades.

  • Leverage capped at 3×
    A hard ceiling on every position — designed to endure 2008-style volatility regimes.
  • Exposure limits by asset & direction
    Concentration is capped so no single position can dominate risk.
  • Continuous risk grading
    The risk engine scores the environment in real time and tightens as it deteriorates.
  • Dynamic profit management
    Strong trades are allowed to run; exits trigger only on controlled weakness, not panic.
Freeze Protection

When the market turns hostile, the system steps back.

Freeze Protection exists to defend capital and the system during abnormal conditions. It activates on clear triggers and can throttle or halt activity entirely.

Triggers
  • ▸ Abnormal volatility
  • ▸ A run of sharp drawdowns
  • ▸ Critical macro events
  • ▸ Unusual trade load
  • ▸ Extreme market pressure
Possible actions
  • ▸ Stop new entries
  • ▸ Reduce exposure
  • ▸ Switch to defensive mode
  • ▸ Slow trading activity
  • ▸ Raise filtering thresholds
Structural protection

The first risk control is custody.

No matter what the strategy does, your capital cannot leave your account.

Trade-only API keys

We can place trades, but we can never withdraw your funds.

Self-custody

Funds remain on your own exchange account. You hold withdrawal rights at all times.

Withdraw anytime

You can stop the strategy and move your capital whenever you choose.
