This tool is designed to promote disciplined trading and prevent overtrading during periods of high market volatility or emotional decision-making.
Locate the Manual Lock-Out button at the top of the trading platform (refer to the screenshot below). Click the button to open the Lock-Out settings modal.
Select a Lock-Out Duration:
Choose from the following quick lock-out options:
15 minutes
30 minutes
1 hour
All day (until next trading day)
Alternatively, you can set a custom Lock-Out time to fit your needs
Once activated, all open positions will be liquidated, and any working orders will be canceled immediately upon activation of the Lock-Out. The Lock-Out prevents any further trading on the account until the the specified time has ended.
Countdown Timer:
A timer will appear at the top of the platform, clearly indicating how much time remains until the lock-out ends (see screenshot below).
Once a Lock-Out is enabled on an account, it cannot be reversed. This feature is intended to provide a break from the markets and promote disciplined trading.
