“It’s too easy to adjust the risk settings and overtrade. We need to be able to lock our choice until the end of RTH or 24 hours to cool down instead of overtrading and frantic adjustment of settings” Hi, This topic was discussed in the old forum. Are there any updates on when this will be availa…

In release 1.201113.0 we will be introducing the feature to allow you to set risk parameters for your account, and lock those settings. If the settings are locked and your limit is hit, they cannot be changed until the loss limit calculation reset by our servers between 5:00PM ET and 6:00PM ET. To…

I am still locked which makes no sense to me.

Hi @Garcia9808 Can you contact our support team and they will be able to help troubleshoot any issues with this? Thanks!

Hi Folks, I just wanted to bump this topic, as admittedly my occasional lack of self-discipline necessitates a hard server-side lock on my account when daily loss limit is hit. I see the goal for this version update had an ETA of Nov. 2020; just bumping to see if release 1.201113.0 is yet available…

We absolutely need ability to lock our risk parameters till end of session. What is the point of setting risk parameters that can be changed at any time. If your max loss is $100 and your at -$85 the temptation to go change the Max loss to $150 is too tempting sometimes even for the best of us. In …

This shows “solved” but it is not 1.) if I hit my limits, I can literally just change the limits - and keep trading. trust me, I’ve done it. 2.) the settings should not lock “if hit” - they should lock if any trade is opened for the day or week or whatever parameter/timeframe the user selects. cu…

I have contacted tradovate, and anyone whom I felt on this board had some sort of influence to get this fixed and its only fallen on deaf ears. I myself even as a former professional equities trader find myself breaking my rules time to time, something I never would have done or been allowed to do s…

Having a reasonable profit goal you can hit early in the day to lock the account and trading very small is one way to try to work around this terrible human-DNA-derived dilemma. I think they don’t want you to be able to lock your settings once you place them because that would make most of us trade …

I would honestly hope they thought the other way, where if a guy blows up in a single day on a bender they are done, but if they are there for the long term the commissions will be far greater. Although you might be correct. All I know is they lost me, I was good for 3-5K a month in fees and commiss…
