Risk controls

Set limits per account. They apply to every signal the strategy sends.

Account

This account has no strategy assigned, so these are general recommendations. Pick a strategy on the account's page for specific ones.

Risk per trade (USD)RecommendedThe most you lose if a trade hits its stop. Every NQ trade is sized to this amount automatically. Recommended: about 5% of your account's max drawdown, e.g. $100 with a $2,000 drawdown or $150 with $3,000.Daily loss threshold (USD)RecommendedMax trades per dayRecommended

Trading sessionRecommendedWhen the add-on may open new trades. Most strategies trade mostly outside stock market hours, so limiting the hours skips most of their trades.
