Is it possible or could it be possible through a new feature to create a study that cannot be removed from a chart book without first entering a password? The reason for this is that I have a custom study that limits the number of trades I place per session and I do not want to be able to remove that study. It would be incredible to be able to prevent that study from being removed unless a password was entered. |

One of the reasons that discretionary / independent trading is so difficult is that you do not have a risk manager to step in when you should not break your rules but inevitably override your best judgement. Allowing a password for removal of a study, would allow a user the protection a risk manager provides so that when emotions are high you have no way to break your own rules. The password could only be known by a partner so you have no easy way to break your own rules. An alternative solution to this problem would be a way to prevent in-platform risk management rules from being changed without a password. Is the rationale here compelling enough to create the suggested functionality? If not, what about being able to password lock in-platform risk management rules. |
