Hello SC,

there are some funding sites out there (topstep, earn2trade, etc..) but with those come limitations on when to trade.

would it be possible to enhance the p&l management in that that we can have either a gui to enter dates / times / ranges on when sc should flatten / lock trading or do that via an input text file?

reason for it is that sometimes its really hard to keep up with the different restrictions in the middle of the fight.. like i normally dont care abt a fed speaker but some of this services dont allow trading at 1min before until 1min after it started (which is totally stupid coz 2mins in could be the kicker and markets collapse while you're now allowed to trade it)

when we could configure those times, sierra could take care of flattening and locking/unlocking trading

thanks,
Andreas

Might be easiest that a custom study is developed which does this and displays a message on the chart. The problem is the study could not block trading. We were asked about this by Earn 2 Trade once, but that is inherently difficult to do without creating a performance impact.

yeah, earn2trade was exactly the reason why i am asking for this.. their fed speaker rule outright sucks..

would it be possible for you guys to add a method to enable/disable "lock trading" from within acsil?

then this could entirely been done with a study.

thanks,
Andreas
