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!
we already have a great lock out system, good for discipline traders. so for non- discipline traders Topstep should implement an automatic lockout that locks out at a specific time everyday until we change it

Lock out Calendar
Add a mini calendar in risk settings to allow traders lock themselves out ahead of time for a particular day or week.
Also:
Add Day (Mon-Sun) option to Chart date format settings

Definitely seems useful, not sure how often I would use it, but definitely would be nice to have.

Automatic time based lockout
An automatic timebased lockout system like where it will automatically lockout during certain time range?

Lockout at e.g. 11am
Lockout and flatten at a specific time e.g. 11am after my 1 hour trade window.
Assists in stopping overtrading or tilt.
Should be an easy upgrade.

Is there a way to unlock it once it’s locked
