FAQ

The questions we get asked before every engagement.

Do you manage money or trade my account?

No. We do not manage client funds, hold discretionary authority, execute trades, or accept deposits. We provide education, software and consulting. Your account stays entirely under your control at your own broker.

Do you give personalised investment advice?

No. Nothing we provide is a recommendation to buy or sell any specific security, contract or instrument. We work on how you size, limit and review risk — the framework, not the positions. If you need personalised investment advice, you need a registered investment adviser, and we are happy to say so.

Are you registered or licensed?

GGT Risk Management is not a registered investment adviser, broker-dealer, futures commission merchant or commodity trading advisor. Our services are structured so that registration is not applicable to them. If your situation calls for a registered professional, we will tell you.

Will this make me profitable?

No, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. Risk management does not create an edge — it protects one that already exists, and it slows down the destruction of one that does not. If your strategy has no edge, better risk control will lengthen the runway, not change the destination. We will tell you if that is what the data shows.

What does it cost?

[REPLACE — state your actual pricing here, or state your pricing model. Traders are used to being quoted vague numbers and it makes them suspicious. A specific figure or a clear “from $X” builds more trust than “contact us for pricing”.]

What do you need from me to start?

For a risk review: an export of your trade history (most brokers and platforms will produce a CSV), your account size, and whatever rules you currently operate under — even if they only exist in your head. For firm consulting: your current policy documents, if any, and your trader limit structure.

What markets and instruments do you cover?

The framework is instrument-agnostic — sizing, limits, drawdown protocol and review cadence apply the same way to futures, equities, options and forex. The specific calculations get configured for your instrument’s contract size, tick value and margin treatment.

How long does an engagement take?

A risk review is typically delivered within [X] business days of receiving your trade history. A training programme runs over [X] weeks. Firm consulting is scoped per engagement. You get the timeline in writing before anything starts. [REPLACE bracketed values.]

Do you work with prop firm and funded traders?

Yes, and it is one of the better applications of this work. Funded programmes impose hard limits with real consequences, which makes a documented drawdown protocol worth considerably more than it is to a trader risking only their own capital.

What happens on the discovery call?

Thirty minutes. You describe what you trade, what the account looks like and what has been going wrong. We tell you whether we can help and roughly what it would involve. If we are not the right fit, that is how the call ends — there is no second call designed to change your mind.
