most notably, I would love to be able to control risk by making my main account trade minis and then copied accounts trade micros at the predetermined ratio so one can slowly scale up winning strategies.

yes, also white or blacklist certain products, for example, if i can focus myself just trading max 1 contract of MNQ for the whole day without altering the risk setting. These settings need to have a lock-out feature until the end of day. We can see these setting: limit the max contract number, white or blacklist trading products. If i can just trade 1MNQ for the whole day, no way we will blow up our account easily, and there is no way we can DCA!

Thanks for your post! I was confused on the meaning that the OP was using for “LOCK”. Your post made perfect sense and clarified it.

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.
This would be very helpful for sure, I would use it.
it's just opposite of the Personal Daily Loss Limit, making it a Personal Daily Profit Protection Limit.
Having another option to where you are only allowed to trade profit past your target would be nice also. Like lets say my target was $500 and I end up makes $750, It locks me in at $500 profit and allows me to use the $250 to trade with for the rest of the day.

I posted this 3 weeks ago, same idea. Please thumbs up this to so they know we need this.
Furthermore: Need to be able to specify multiple times were trades become "liquidate only". For example, my personal rules dictate that I don't trade between 7:30-9:45 EST and 12:45-2:15 EST.

Absolutely baby, LETS GOOO!
Cannot wait for this feature, as I'm sometimes hesitant to lock myself out as I just wanna do it for say 10 or 15 minutes, or for the entire morning session to come back for power hour for example.
Thank you Topstep, love you guys. My Regards,

Patak discussed this this morning and I would really love it. It's a feature I use every day in Sierra.
Deanna talked about the 50% lockout, so you would get locked when your profit slid back to 50% from the daily high
Needs a minimum threshhold to kick in though

Ability to limit amount of contracts I'm able to open. i.e. in a 50K we can trade up to 5 contracts, limit to what the trader wants, such as 1 contract. (Or 10 micros when that's available.)

Since it still is not in place, Can you look at my request? Maybe it can shed new insight on why many of us traders are passionate about having these risk features implemented. https://s2f.featurebase.app/p/offer-a-lockin-profit-trailing-lockin-profit-feature-akin-to
You can accumulate all the different ideas that are congruent to this specific risk topic and put it into one package change.
Thanks, everyone at TopStep is more than amazing. TopStep has a great magnanimous cultivation of employees.
