New features from Clarity by Investec help investors protect losses and lock in gains

Just months after its public launch, Clarity by Investec, has expanded its trading platform with two powerful new features – stop loss and take profit orders – designed to give investors greater control, confidence, and transparency in managing their portfolios.

Widely recognised as essential risk management tools, stop loss and take profit orders allow investors to set automatic exit points on trades. This means they can protect against losses or lock in gains without constantly monitoring market movements – a major advantage in today’s fast-paced trading environment. Together, these tools facilitate automated decision-making, reducing emotions commonly experienced by new investors such as fear, hesitation or confusion.

“While other platforms may offer similar functions, Clarity’s difference lies in transparency, flexibility, and simplicity,” says Tinus Rautenbach, Head of Clarity. “This means that now investors can set or adjust stop loss and take profit levels at any stage, whether opening a new position or managing an existing one, directly from our mobile app or web platform – with no hidden spreads, no unexpected changes, and full visibility at every step.”

Every order carried out is also clearly reflected in account statements, with immediate notification – creating a seamless feedback loop that builds trust ensuring investors always know exactly where they stand.

“Introducing stop loss and take profit is another step forward in building a trading platform that blends advanced capability with ease of use,” says Rautenbach. “For us, automation should simplify decision-making, not complicate it. With Clarity, investors can trust that what they set is what the platform aims to deliver, subject to market conditions – executed transparently and communicated with absolute clarity.”

The launch of these new features underscores Clarity’s commitment to making smart trading accessible, intuitive, and trustworthy – equipping investors to manage risk and maximise opportunity with confidence.
