Hello, I read the daily profit/loss tab. Just to clarify, let’s say I want lock my account after losing -$600 for the day and I take 3 -$200 stops it will lock me out for the day?

Do I set the circled box to -$600?

Yes it does make sense that you would set the Loss Trigger Value to -600:

No, you do not need to reset the Loss Limit each day, but you do have to wait for the "next day" to start for the Loss Management to work again. Refer to the following:
