# Risk Management

**Bars to Form Stoploss** - adjusts the number of bars necessary to form a stop loss adjustment. This is only adjustable if custom trend optimization is selected. If Bitcoin or Altcoin optimization is selected TrendShift will adjust this accordingly.

**Risk Type**:\
\
\&#xNAN;**% Risk** - Calculates 'risk' as total percent of 'initial capital' risked per trade.

**% Account Risk Per Trade** - Percent of account that is risked per trade.\\\
\
EX: If current account value is $10000 and '*% Account Risk Per Trade*' is set to 1%, TrendShift will calculate position size so that $100 (1% of $1000) is risked for each trade. In this case, if a stop loss is hit there will be a loss of $100.\
\
**Leverage(***Pro only***)** - Calculates 'risk' as total percent of account entered in to a trade.

**Leverage Multiplier(***Pro only***)** - Leverage multiplier for account total.\
\
\
EX: 100 = 1x leverage, 200 = 2x leverage, 500 = 5x leverage
