Will PlayMaker close my positions if I breach my limits?
No PlayMaker does not interfere with your trading account, it is purely
informational. The trading plan you set will be monitored for you, in real-
time and we will give you a RED / AMBER / GREEN status depending on
whether you have broken your rules, are close to your thresholds OR are
trading within your own parameters.
Can I change my Trading Plan?
Yes, you can change your trading plan as often as you like. When you
change your rules, we will automatically apply your new rules to your
ENTIRE trading history to show you your discipline historically. Use the
Review Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Yearly to learn how well your adhere to
your plan.
What if I don’t understand the metrics?
There are help buttons on every screen, with details information on the
different metrics.
What if I scale into a position?
PlayMaker will show each scaled in position as an individual trade. If the
entire position is closed as one trade, it will show as one closed trade
within GamePlan.
What if I scale out of a position?
PlayMaker will show the remaining open position as one trade. Each time
a piece of the trade is closed it will be represented as one closed trade on
GamePlan.
How often should I use PlayMaker?
At the start of every trading day, you should log into PlayMaker to see
your risk parameters. They are calculated daily based on your balance at
midnight on your account. Its important to adjust your size if your
account gets smaller, to protect your trading capital.
While live trading, you should keep your Discipline Monitor open, so that
you can be alerted if your trading plan might be at risk of a breach.
At the end of every day you should Review your Daily Discipline, as well
as your Scorecard to see how well you did / focus on areas for
improvement.
Does PlayMaker have a weekly or monthly review?

review of Discipline.
The Daily Discipline should be used to stay in touch with your
performance. The longer term views help you understand your trends, and
if there are strengths and weaknesses that its important you pay more
attention to.
Similarly on GamePlan there is a calendar feature to review shorter or
longer timeframes. Use the longer term timeframes Weekly and Monthly
