Risk Management Features
Daily Loss Protection
How It Works:
- Start Balance: Recorded at beginning of each trading day
- Real-time Monitoring: Calculates P&L every tick
- Automatic Action: When daily loss reaches your limit:
- All positions closed immediately
- Trading locked for the rest of the day
- Telegram notification sent
- Dashboard shows LOCKED status
Example:
Account Balance: $10,000 Daily Risk Limit: 2% Maximum Daily Loss: $200 If daily loss reaches $200 (2%): → All positions automatically closed → No new trades allowed until next day → Account protected from further losses
Daily Profit Protection
How It Works:
- Optional Feature: Set daily profit target (e.g., 1.5%)
- Automatic Locking: When target reached, trading stops
- Profit Protection: Prevents giving back daily gains
- Next Day Reset: Automatically unlocks for new trading day
Position Size Management
Risk Per Trade:
- Calculates optimal position size based on your risk percentage
- Considers stop loss distance for accurate risk calculation
- Prevents oversized positions that could blow your account
- Works with any trading strategy or timeframe
Example Calculation:
Account: $10,000 Risk Per Trade: 1% Risk Amount: $100 Stop Loss: 50 pips on EURUSD → Calculated Position Size: 0.20 lots
Mobile Protection System
The Problem It Solves:
Many traders accidentally open trades on their phone or tablet while their account should be locked due to risk limits. This can lead to:
- Exceeding daily loss limits
- Ruining a good trading day
- Breaking prop firm rules
- Emotional revenge trading
How Mobile Protection Works:
Unauthorized Trade Detection:
- Monitor New Positions: Constantly checks for new trades
- Time-based Logic: If a trade opens after lockout, it's unauthorized
- Automatic Closure: Immediately closes unauthorized trades
- Instant Notification: Sends Telegram alert with details
Protection Scenarios:
- ✅ Daily loss limit reached → Account locked → Mobile trade opened → Immediately closed
- ✅ Manual pause activated → Phone trade opened → Immediately closed
- ✅ Telegram LOCK command sent → Desktop trade opened → Immediately closed
Smart Recognition:
- Legitimate Trades: Opened before lockout are left alone
- Manual Overrides: Can be temporarily disabled if needed
- Multiple Attempts: Handles rapid-fire mobile trading attempts
