Allow “Risk Lock Mode” to Only Prevent Loosening, Not Tightening Risk Settings
Suggestion: Allow “Risk Lock Mode” to Only Prevent Loosening, Not Tightening Risk Settings
Right now, when you lock the risk settings in TopstepX, everything becomes locked. This protects against tilt, but it also blocks the ability to make stricter adjustments during the day.
Example:
I might start the day with a $350 static max loss, then later want to switch to trailing, or reduce my contract limit from 2 → 1 if the market gets volatile.
These are safer changes — but the current lock system blocks them completely.
Suggestion
Add a “one-way” lock mode where you can only make adjustments that tighten risk, never loosen it.
Allowed while locked:
Lowering max loss
Switching from static → trailing
Reducing contract limits
Adding more symbol blocks
Making break-rule actions stricter
Not allowed while locked:
Increasing max loss
Switching from trailing → static
Increasing contract limits
Removing symbol blocks
Making break-rule actions looser
This keeps the protection against tilt, but still allows us to adjust risk in a safer direction during the day.
