Trade Policies

Global Max Risk sets maximum global (across all strategies within the same configuration) risk in POINTS. Risk is calculated based on each strategy's order sum of STOP order points.
Example: Two strategies entering at the same time, each with order of two contracts configured with 10 points stops will result in 40 points of risk. Limiting Global Risk to 30 points will do one of two things: prevent Strategy 2 from entering at the same time as Strategy 1, OR trim Strategy 2 order to only one contract out of two (See Order Trimming within Strategies). 

Trade Protection is a Live-trading feature that detects gaps outside of defined order brackets and queues order for market exit. We recommend using this when you go LIVE. 

Global Trading Sessions allows configuring global order execution times, as well as cancel/flatten actions for each. See example below to trade from 8AM to 11AM and Cancel any pending orders at 11, then resume trading at 1PM through 3PM canceling and flattening all positions at 3PM:

We recommend setting this to Trade 24 Hours and limiting Strategy execution window as well as creating planned exit signals. This is a secondary layer tool by design but can be used as primary if you must. 

Reserved Bars sets a minimum number of bars for SC to replay from the start of the chart to allow for necessary studies to “come of age” before being used for Signal calculations. Example: If your signal is to wait for SMA 50 to cross SMA200, you should set this value to a minimum of 200. For 200 bars OP will not do anything, then will begin execution. 

ATBB Replay Time Sampling allows to replay ATBB style replay vs Accurate or Tick
