Locked Risk Tools

When the Risk Settings Lock is enabled, the following risk management features will be locked and cannot be adjusted:

  • Personal Daily Loss Limit (PDLL): Prevents changes to your Personal Daily Loss Limit.

  • Personal Daily Profit Target (PDPT): Ensures your Personal Daily Profit Target remains fixed.

  • Daily/Weekly Trade Limits: Locks your Daily/Weekly Trade Limit.

Once these settings are locked, traders will not be able to modify their risk parameters for the current day. However, traders will still have access to:

  • Default Brackets: Traders can modify their default brackets.

  • Personal Lockout Feature: The ability to manually lock themselves out of trading if needed.

How to Enable the Risk Settings Lock

To activate the Risk Settings Lock, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Risk Settings section in the platform.

  2. Locate the "Lock Out Risk Settings For Day" button at the bottom of the page.

  3. Click the button to initiate the lock.

  4. A confirmation window will appear, outlining the settings that will be locked.

  5. Select "YES, LOCK FOR TODAY" to confirm and apply the lock.

Once confirmed, any attempts to modify the locked settings will be restricted until the next trading day at 5 PM CT.

Important Notes

  • Irreversible Until Reset: Once enabled, the risk settings will not be unlocked until the next session.

  • Plan Ahead: Ensure your risk parameters are appropriately set before activating the lock.

  • Compliance & Discipline: Using this feature helps enforce personal risk management discipline and prevents emotional decision-making.
