1 CTrader's Smart Stop Out feature is an automatic process activated if your account's equity falls below a certain level (normally 50%) of your broker's margin requirement. It prioritises closing positions that use the largest amount of margin, rather than those generating the lowest unrealised P&L. Please note that if the market gaps or moves extremely fast, the execution price might be worse than the trigger price.
