What is Lockout?

How to use lockout and what types are available

Lockout

  • Set rules to stop trading if you lose too much, trade too often, or even if you reach a profit target.

  • You can also manually lock yourself out at any time using the "Lockout" button.

Use the Emergency Lockout icon 🔒 at the top right of your screen to manually lock yourself out.

Lockout Types

  • Daily Loss Limit - stops trading once you reach a set maximum loss for the day.

  • Daily Profit Target - locks trading after you hit a profit goal.

  • Max Daily Trades - locks trading after you have taken a set number of trades for the day.

  • Allow Trades - allows trading only during specific sessions such as the New York session.

  • Manual Lockout - click the Lockout button at any time to immediately stop trading for the rest of the session.

Each trading day runs from 5:00 PM to 4:00 PM Central Time, Sunday through Friday. If you are locked out, the lockout remains in place until the session ends at 4:00 PM Central Time.
