Hello Sierra Chart Support, I am planning on using Sierra Chart with AMP Futures and Teton Order Routing. I am looking for a way to enforce a hard daily loss limit that cannot be overridden once triggered. For example: * Daily Net Loss Limit = -$400 * Once the loss limit is reached, all positions are flattened and trading is locked for the remainder of the trading day. * After the lock is triggered, I do NOT want to be able to unlock trading by changing Global Profit/Loss Management settings, disabling the lock, or modifying risk parameters. My question is: When using Sierra Chart's Global Profit/Loss Management with "Lock Trading" and "Lock for Day" enabled, does the lock occur only within Sierra Chart, or is there a way for the lock to be enforced at the AMP/Teton routing level so that it cannot be overridden by changing settings in Sierra Chart? If Sierra Chart does not support a non-overridable daily lockout, is there any broker-side or Teton-side risk management feature that can accomplish this? I already looked through Sierra Chart's Loss Management page and couldn't find anything about this so any help is appreiciated! TLDR: Is there any way at all that changing risk settings AFTER I hit max loss on the day can be completely overridden until the next trading day? Thank you!

The "Global Profit/Loss Management" within the Sierra Chart software is only within the software itself. It is not at the broker level. If Sierra Chart does not support a non-overridable daily lockout, is there any broker-side or Teton-side risk management feature that can accomplish this?

There is no option for this through Sierra Chart. We did have an option at one point for our Teton Order Routing, which would be at the broker level, but the exchanges viewed this as a Non-Display use of their data, and therefore did not allow this to continue given that our data is for display purposes only. And the cost to get the data for non-display use is very high. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
