New! We’ve added two powerful features to help you better manage your risk and trading discipline. These updates are now live and available in your Account Risk Settings.

New Feature: Symbol Block

You can now block specific symbols from being traded in your account.

How it works:

• Go to Risk Settings → Symbol Blocks

• Search and select the symbol you want to block (e.g., /ES)

• Click “Add Block”

• Save Risk Settings

• Once saved, you will no longer be able to place trades on that product

• To unblock, simply remove it from the blocked list

Why it’s helpful:

• Eliminate distractions

• Avoid high-risk symbols

• Stay focused on your strategy

New Option: Trailing Personal Daily Loss Limit (PDLL) Based on Realized Gains

We’ve added a new trailing method to the Personal Daily Loss Limit:
Trailing based on Realized Gains

How it works:

• When enabled, your loss limit will trail upward only after you lock in profits (realized gains)

• Unlike unrealized P&L, it only considers closed trades

Why it’s helpful:

• Protects your profits

• Avoids premature trailing from unrealized market movement

• Offers more flexibility and discipline during trading sessions

3/12/2025: New!

Customizable UP&L and RP&L Background Colors
You can now personalize the background colors for the Unrealized P&L (UP&L) and Realized P&L (RP&L) from the Misc. Settings menu. Tailor your UP&L and RP&L color preference based on the positive or negative values.

Trailing Personal Daily Loss Limit (TPDLL) Enablement Balance
We've added visibility into your balance at the time of TPDLL enablement. When TPDLL is active, you can hover over the header gauge to see the balance when it was enabled—helping you stay aware of your risk parameters.

2/9/2025: New! Trailing Personal Daily Loss Limit Feature.

The Trailing Personal Daily Loss Limit (TPDLL) is an advanced risk management tool that allows traders to set a loss limit that dynamically adjusts based on their highest reached account balance. When enabled, the TPDLL will move up as the account balance increases but will never move back down, ensuring a trader's risk is managed in real-time as their trading session progresses.

How It Works

1. Setting the Limit

• Traders enter a specific dollar amount as their Personal Daily Loss Limit (PDLL).

• Traders select an action upon reaching the threshold (e.g. Liquidate).

2. Enabling Trailing

• When the "Enable Trailing" option is selected, the PDLL will dynamically adjust to trail the highest balance (after activation) the account reaches during the session.

3. Dynamic Drawdown Protection

• If the account balance increases, the loss limit automatically shifts up to maintain the same trailing threshold.

• If the account balance declines, the loss limit remains fixed from the last peak, ensuring a controlled drawdown from that high point.

• If the trader's balance falls to or below the set trailing threshold balance, the pre-selected PDLL action (e.g., Liquidate & Block) will occur.

Example Scenario:

• A trader sets their Trailing PDLL to $500, action to Liquidate, and enables Trailing.

• Their account balance at the time the TPDLL was enabled was $50,500 and later increases to $51,500.

• At this point, the TPDLL is now set at $51,000 (i.e., $51,500 - $500).

• If the account balance drops to $51,100, the trailing loss limit remains at $51,000.

• If the balance falls to $51,000 or below, the selected PDLL action (e.g., Liquidate) will be triggered.

How to Enable the Trailing Personal Daily Loss Limit

1. Navigate to the Risk Settings section.

2. Enter a value for the Personal Daily Loss Limit (PDLL).

3. Select a PDLL Action (e.g., Liquidate).

4. Check the Enable Trailing box to activate the feature.

5. Save your Risk Settings

6. The system will now trail the highest account balance reached after activation.

Note: If the Trailing Personal Daily Loss Limit is enabled and the trading day concludes, the start-of-day balance for the next trade day will become the new highest unrealized balance.

1/26/2025: New! Trade Clock Risk Setting Feature.

The Trade Clock is a powerful tool designed to help traders maintain discipline by temporarily blocking new order entries into existing trades. This feature allows traders to focus on their current trade execution and strategy without the temptation to overtrade or add additional risk.

How the Trade Clock Works

When enabled, the Trade Clock prevents traders from entering new orders related to their existing trade. However, traders will still have the ability to manage their open positions by adjusting or closing them. This feature is ideal for those who want to follow a structured trading plan and avoid impulsive decisions.

Key Features:

• Prevents new order entries: Traders cannot add new positions or orders

• Manage open positions: Traders can still modify and exit existing trades

• Configurable time intervals: Select from predefined or custom time durations

How to Enable the Trade Clock

The Trade Clock can only be enabled when there is at least one open position and/or working order in the market. Follow these steps to activate it:

1. Navigate to Risk Settings:

   • Open the platform settings.

   • Go to the "Risk Settings" tab.

2. Set a Trade Clock Timer:

   • Select from available time options (e.g., 1 min, 2 min, 5 min, 10 min, or custom.)

3. Enable Trade Clock:

   • Click on “Enable Trade Clock.”

   • A confirmation modal will appear, summarizing the lock period and restrictions.

4. Confirm Activation:

   • Click “Yes, Enable Trade Clock” to proceed.

Managing Trades While the Trade Clock is Active

Once the Trade Clock is enabled:

• Traders cannot add new positions or orders until the time ends

• Traders can:

  • Add or modify stop-loss and take-profit orders

  • Flatten or exit their current positions

  • Cancel existing working orders

Important Notes

• The Trade Clock is irreversible once enabled, meaning it will remain active for the selected duration or until the active position and/or orders are closed/cancelled

• A warning message will be displayed before activation, ensuring traders are aware of the restrictions

• If there are no active trades or working orders, the Trade Clock cannot be enabled
