weekly loss limit

A rule that makes you stop trading for the rest of the week once you have lost a set amount.

The fuller meaning

A pre-set maximum loss per week, such as 6% in the sample rulebook; once hit, trading stops until the next week. Like the daily limit it only works if set before trading starts and is never raised to win money back.
