overnight lockout
the option to lock an account for the evening session with the ability to trade the open the next day.
Sometimes I take trades in the evening and end up losing some or all of it due to over trading. I don't want to lock my account because I want to be able to trade during the open market hours.
it would be nice to be able to lock yourself out and be able to unlock after say 6 am

Rejected as not a platform feature

As of now, you can set the limit and if you reach it you cannot change it, but you are right, you can change it up until the moment you actually hit it, so this would be a good feature also.

This is a good idea.
I was also thinking about the idea of locking the account at specified times.
For example, I don't like being tempted into entering trades within 15m of NYSE open. So having the ability to lockout at my chosen times, in this case between 9:30 & 10:00 would be a feature I would like to see.
And one more idea, a flag that prevents new trades from being entered, allowing running trades to continue further into profit or come back BE.

I'd also like to see this feature added. For instance, I would like to lock myself out between 1030 and 130 CST. I'd also like to see trades run like Afterlife mentioned.

In my personal testing the lockout is only until the market opens 1hr after the close. There's a "shot-clock" feature coming that might meet your needs. Allows you to lock for a few minutes but might allow a few hours or so too.

I like this idea. Also not a bad idea to have the option to lockout for more than 24 hours
