Advanced Lockout Scheduling Feature

Hey team,

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.

Appreciate you considering it!

    Risk Calendar Custom Day Lockout!!!!

    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!
