Lock-Out Customizations

Lock-Out

The Lock-Out feature is designed to help traders take control of their trading activity by locking themselves out of trading for a specified duration or trading session. This feature allows you to step away from the markets, maintain discipline, and manage risk effectively.

Go to the "Risk Settings" tab under "Platform Settings" and locate the Set Lockout button (refer to the screenshot below for guidance).

During the Lock-Out

While the Lock-Out is active:

• Positions and Orders:

  • All open positions are liquidated, and pending orders are canceled immediately upon activation.

  • No new trades or modifications can be made.

• Countdown Timer:

  • A timer at the top of the platform provides a real-time countdown of the remaining lock-out period.

Ending the Lock-Out

• The lock-out will automatically end when the selected duration or trading session expires.

• Once the lock-out ends, full trading functionality will be restored.

Note: Lock-Outs cannot be canceled or reversed once they are activated, so make sure to select your timeframe carefully.
