LOCK RISK SETTINGS like a real prop - 3RD PARTY AND LONG DURATION

Cutting-edge suggestion related to risk management lock feature on TopstepX:

  • Allow any 3rd party / any individual located globally to lock the account for you on a daily or weekly basis. This would be an accountability partner who you can choose from within the community, or anybody you know who you can depend on to lock your settings for any given time period. They do not need access to your platform to set the risk, but can access it from any other link sent to them. This feature locks settings similar to what a real prop would do - they force you to take accountability.

  • Duplicate of reported feature request - as a substitute to having a 3rd party lock your account, allow the trader to lock risk settings for longer duration - specifically week or month. Including max contracts allowed. This allows you to obey risk rules when it is most important - after winning or losing streaks. Often traders will be discipline in setting risk lockout but not always so, and especially not when trader is near meeting profit or time deadlines/objectives, after winning or losing streaks.

  • Limit the ability to purchase new accounts during lockout period to prevent trader from retaliating via using a second account, and instead to make them sit through their lockout period.

    Quick note, you can also allow the trader to pay an individual (for example $1 a day) to lock settings for you. Would even be more incentive to lock the account regularly, this is a way the community can get payed, and this is a way fr the trader to invest money into their risk management which adds seriousness. Compliance on both sides.
