I wanted to suggest an enhancement to the personal lockout settings that I think would really help traders stay consistent and avoid unnecessary risk.
Right now, we have to manually input a new lockout amount each day. It works, but it’s easy to forget to update it or adjust it when our daily risk plan changes. A lot of us follow structured weekly routines, and having to manually re-enter those numbers every morning adds friction.
Feature Suggestion: Lockout Calendar / Scheduling System
Instead of setting the lockout limit manually each day, allow traders to:
Schedule lockout amounts for specific days of the week
Set weekly recurring lockout limits
Pre-program risk levels based on planned trading sessions
Apply predefined lockouts for events (ex. FOMC days or days we know our size will be reduced)
Why This Helps
Removes user error or forgetfulness
Keeps traders consistently within their risk parameters
Helps structure discipline during high-volatility sessions
Gives traders the ability to plan their week ahead with clear risk boundaries
Supports responsible trading for both new and advanced users
This would be a huge quality-of-life improvement and help a lot of us maintain discipline without having to constantly adjust settings manually.
I want to make a suggestion or request that a feature be added to the Risk Settings that allows you to preselect whatever day you want to be automatically locked out for a certain timeframe or the entire day of trading, and those settings will stay emplace until changed. Personally, I’ve traded against myself numerous times knowing that i shouldn’t trade Fridays, its a day that that always seems to go wrong. For many like myself, having this feature with a Risk Lockout Calendar Set will help ensure traders protect their profits and overall accounts. I really hope this will be considered and acted upon. Thank you!
Time of day scheduled lockouts for optimized time control!
I haven’t seen a way to preschedule lockouts for a certain time of day, lets say you want your account to lock 2 hours after open in the New York session… until 1 hour before close… that would be a great feature… would have saved me from my zone out moments that got the best of me if it existed and it would have trained people psychologically to trade only when optimal, when you see it works and it rewards you than your more likely to stick to it!
