Non-changeable risk settings after hitting daily max loss no matter what

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!

Best,
Nicholas
