I use the global profit/ loss management when trading prop, i have "lock for day" checked and a "loss trigger value" of $200. if i exceed that my position gets flattened but im able to market order if another opportunity presents itself. is there a way to lock for the day and not allow additional orders to be placed? |

The "Lock for Day" should stop you from being able to place further orders until the "Day" completes per the "Start of Day" setting on that window. Refer to the following: Global Profit/Loss Management: Lock Trading >> Lock for Day But, as noted in the above documentation, this can be overridden. There is no absolute lock in Sierra Chart to completely stop you from trading. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
