Monitoring auto liquidation functionality:

These steps assume you are using the Teton order routing service.

1. First connect to the Teton order routing service. Instructions:

2. Check to see that auto liquidation has been set up by seeing if there is a negative DailyNetLossLimit value for your account:

If this value is zero, auto liquidation is not used for your account and there is nothing further to do. You can stop here.

3. Monitoring consists of looking at your current loss if any, by adding together the DailyProfit/Loss and the Open Profit/Loss fields (refer to screenshot above). If auto liquidation should be triggering based upon the total of these two, and has not, then take the appropriate steps.

If the total of the DailyProfit/Loss and the Open Profit/Loss is inaccurate, then contact your broker and take the appropriate steps, and that may include requesting them to disable auto liquidation or making an adjustment to it.

If auto liquidation triggers unexpectedly/incorrectly for any reason, then contact your broker and take the appropriate steps. Or take the appropriate steps within Sierra Chart. However, once Auto liquidation triggers, you will not be able to open any new positions.
