Volatility against a fixed limit
Bitcoin and Ethereum can move several percent in a session. The daily limit does not scale with volatility. At 1:3, a position worth the full cap loses 5% of equity on a 1.7% adverse move. At one third of the cap, the same 5% needs a 5% move.
| Position size (share of 1:3 cap) | Adverse move that costs 5% of equity |
|---|---|
| 100% | about 1.7% |
| 50% | about 3.3% |
| 33% | 5% |
Rules that change crypto habits
- Bots and API trading need prior written permission.
- Scalping strategies are prohibited.
- A single trade may not exceed 55% of total profit, so one spike cannot carry the evaluation.
- The trailing drawdown is 6% from the high water mark, on equity.
Generic crypto prop firm checks

At SabioTrade the site answers all four: 1:3, weekend holding allowed per the plan table, bots only with written permission, limits checked on equity. More: daily loss limit, consistency calculator.
