When enabled, follower protection automatically flattens a follower's position when the leader goes flat. This prevents followers from holding unintended positions.

Risk Management

How do daily loss limits work?

Set a daily loss limit per account (e.g., -$500). When the account hits that limit, Signal Trade App automatically locks the account for the rest of the session to prevent further trading.

Can I set daily profit targets?

Yes. Set a daily profit target and optionally auto-lock the account once it is reached to protect gains.

Read more →

What is trailing max drawdown?

Trailing max drawdown tracks your peak P&L for the day and locks the account if you fall from that peak by a specified amount. This protects against giving back profits.

Can I limit order quantity per trade?

Yes. Risk settings include a max opening order quantity to prevent accidental oversized entries.
