Avoiding obvious mistakes: Octa broker breaks down security tools in trading

Published

on

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 July 2025 – There are multiple risk factors in trading, and navigating them requires patience and experience. To alleviate that pressure, modern trading platforms offer some highly practical tools that help to manage risks and avoid losses. Unfortunately, many traders are either unaware of these tools or have got used to trading without them. In this article, the experts at Octa, a globally regulated and trusted broker since 2011, break down some noteworthy features that seasoned traders use to mitigate the risks and improve their outcomes.

Common challenges
Trading can be a very intense experience. Each trade puts knowledge and skills to the test, creating a decisive stress factor. It’s like taking an exam with a limited time over and over, but the test questions and conditions are different each time.

Octa leverages its extensive market experience to offer transparent trading conditions and fast, reliable withdrawals. The broker’s trustworthiness and transparency reduce the cognitive load involved in trading and allow traders to fully concentrate on their performance.

The tools at hand
Any trader strives to get additional income with each session, and the high significance of financial outcomes can get on their nerves. Luckily, modern trading platforms have a few simple yet efficient tools that help to automate the routine and improve outcomes.

To simplify the trading process, Octa broker creates a reliable, secure trading environment and introduces accessible and efficient features to its platform. Below are some of the tools any trader should consider to achieve more consistent results.

  1. Stop loss and take profit

Stop-loss and take-profit orders are by far the most popular and accessible risk management tools in trading. These tools automatically close a position once it hits a predefined mark, either cutting losses or locking in gains—just as their names suggest.

Most trading tutorials emphasise the importance of regularly using these orders as part of the risk management routine. However, Octa broker’s survey showed that between 29% and 35% of traders apply risk management tools only when attempting a hazardous trade. In most cases, they trust their trading intuition to exit the trade on time. Unfortunately, this approach is risky and can cause significant losses. Remember, risk management tools are there to be used.

  1. Trailing stop and break even

These tools allow traders to set up dynamic, market-sensitive exit points to secure the gains already made in a trade. While a standard stop-loss order is static and usually applied at the initial stage of a trade, trailing stop automatically adjusts the exit level as the market price moves in the trader’s favour, protecting profits while giving the trade room to run.

Similarly, a break-even order moves the stop-loss level to the trade’s entry price (or slightly above or below to cover commissions or fees) once the price has moved a predetermined amount in the trader’s favour, thereby eliminating the risk of financial loss on that particular trade.

These tools automatically close the position at a certain price level to protect profits, allowing traders to set up a dynamic, market-sensitive stop-loss order. While a standard stop-loss order is static, both trailing stop and break-even orders follow the price as long as it moves in favour of the open position.

Octa broker highly recommends these intuitive and flexible tools available on the broker’s proprietary platform. They offer greater control over open positions, reduce stress, and enhance resilience in unpredictable market conditions.

  1. Notifications and calculators

However basic, math in trading is always present as a hidden but instrumental mechanism, and a solid understanding of it remains crucial. Modern trading platforms offer dedicated features to automate calculations and reduce cognitive load.

For example, position sizing algorithms and automated margin calculators help traders maintain the needed level of exposure. They take into account the user’s current equity amount and desired risk tolerance. An automated tool can calculate how many lots to trade within a specific currency pair so that no more than 1% of the account balance is at risk on any single trade. Maintaining this disciplined and detail-focused approach manually would be very cumbersome, but luckily, the appropriate tools can streamline the process.

On the other hand, automated alert systems provide a psychological safety net for emotional traders who are prone to anxiety. These systems monitor charts around the clock and notify traders when specific setups or market conditions emerge. Instead of staring at screens for hours, traders who use such tools can focus on strategy refinement or other analyses, knowing they won’t miss critical entry or exit opportunities.

Modern risk-management tools allow for easier and less nerve-wracking sessions while improving overall outcomes. Brokers that wield technology and offer their clients the most accessible, up-to-date solutions create a link of trust and understanding that helps both brokers and traders reach their respective goals. With this in mind, Octa broker recommends choosing a trusted and proven broker, rather than one that simply makes the most promises.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 17 July 2025 – Cyberport successfully hosted the “AI x Data Forum” today. Centered on the theme “AI in Action, Data at the Core: Unlocking Infinite Potential”, the forum brought together over 450 participants from government, finance, innovation and technology, cybersecurity sector, and academia to explore innovative artificial intelligence and data-driven strategies and practical experiences.

Cyberport, Canton Data Exchange, and China Unicom Global signed a MOU to jointly promote the implementation of mature data application scenarios and enterprises from Mainland China into Hong Kong.

During the forum, Cyberport, the Canton Data Exchange and China Unicom Global signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The three parties will jointly promote and implement a “Mainland incubation, Hong Kong deployment” collaboration model, introducing mature data application scenarios and enterprises from Mainland China into Hong Kong. The collaboration covers areas such as financial risk management, healthcare, cross-border trade, and the low-altitude economy, and will provide technology platforms and compliance support. These efforts will help enterprises expand into both local and overseas markets, while jointly organizing incubation, investment promotion, and exchange activities, further strengthening Hong Kong’s position as a demonstration hub for data applications.

Prof Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry delivered the opening remarks at the forum and stated “Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a major engine for global economic growth, with data as its essential driving force. The two elements are complementary. This year, the HKSAR Government has developed AI as a core industry for Hong Kong, aiming for all sectors to focus on its development and spearhead a new wave of economic growth for the city. The Government will fully leverage Hong Kong’s edges as an international data hub, encouraging the industry to pursue innovation and breakthroughs in AI. With unique advantages under the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ principle, Hong Kong is well positioned to serve as a vital base for AI development, both locally and across the Greater Bay Area, enabling AI and data to create broader and more positive value in the region.”

In his welcoming speech, Simon Chan, Chairman of Cyberport, stated “Data is the cornerstone of the digital economy, driving the transformation of smart cities and serving as a vital foundation for AI development. Cyberport is dedicated to building a diverse innovation and technology ecosystem, fostering the safe, efficient, and compliant growth of AI and data applications through cross-sector collaboration. Our partnership with the Canton Data Exchange and China Unicom Global represents a significant milestone in promoting collaborative development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong data industry. Cyberport will continue to serve as Hong Kong’s digital tech hub and AI accelerator, harnessing innovative technologies to drive economic transformation and reinforce Hong Kong’s status as a global hub for innovation and data.”

The Leaders Dialogue sessions moderated by Dr. Crystal Fok, Director of AI Applications at Cyberport, brought together representatives from various organizations, including the Hong Kong Police Force, the Spatial Data Office, Canton Data Exchange, and China Unicom Global. The panel engaged in an in-depth discussion on advancing data security and improving the transparency of cloud data flows, providing fresh perspectives to organizational data management strategies. During the discussion, experts shared valuable insights in promoting data security and data application and ensuring compliance. Initiatives included developing platforms with multilingual and context-aware capabilities to enhance service quality and continually reviewing and enhancing system security to ensure a safe and compliant flow of information. The panel also underscored that the establishment of compliant and scalable data platforms will facilitate cross-sector collaboration and industry co-creation, helping smart enterprises seize new opportunities and achieve high-quality growth.

As Hong Kong’s digital tech hub and AI accelerator, Cyberport is committed to building a responsible and trustworthy AI ecosystem in collaboration with various sectors. Last year, Cyberport launched Hong Kong’s largest Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Centre (AISC) and established an AI Lab to provide comprehensive support to start-ups from research and development to market entry, creating a valuable platform for technology demonstration and commercial application.

Additionally, the HKSAR Government allocated HK$3 billion to launch the three year Artificial Intelligence Subsidy Scheme (AISS) through Cyberport, which has received approximately 20 applications. As of the end of June this year, the committee has approved nearly 10 projects covering areas such as local large language models, new materials, synthetic biology, and medical large models, with total grants of about HK$300 million. Since January, approved projects have gradually begun utilising the AISC, with more than 90% of its computing capacity now in use.

With the completion of Cyberport 5 expected for this year, the new building will be equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, including a dedicated, Tier-III+ standard sustainable data centre. Together with the adjacent AISC and the Hong Kong Internet Exchange (HKIX), the new facility will create a high-performance technology corridor. This will provide stronger and highly reliable data storage and computing support for industry, academia, and government, accelerating digital transformation across industries.

Currently, Cyberport is home to more than 400 start-ups focusing on AI and data science, and has attracted several leading AI enterprises. Cyberport has fostered strategic partnerships with major technology leaders, expanding support for start-ups while advancing talent cultivation, R&D, and technology adoption, driving Hong Kong’s evolution into an International AI and innovation hub.
