I love Ninjatrader Software, but I think it’s missing Lockouts.
It would be nice for Ninjatrader Software to add Lockouts feature just like Project X ( TopStepX ).
We should be able to set a lockout exactly how they do it.
Lockouts are good and also max contract size per session and other risk settings would be great.
This would 100% make ninjatrader way better then it already is!
You can download one from ninjatrader ecosystem. There are few to choose from - I just do not remember their names.
Addons aren’t the same as Ninjatrader doing this directly within the software. I can’t lock myself out of a specific account if the connection has multiple accounts etc.
There needs to be better risk settings in my opinion
ninjatrader dashboard offers max DLL
It does but it would be much better if they didn’t allow you to adjust the setting before it gets locked on the current trading day. If your loss limit is set at -$200, and you’re -$180 and think you can get it back, you can just change the DLL.
The current Desktop Software doesn’t allow you to lock yourself out if you reach a certain daily loss or a certain daily profit goal or a personal lockout feature where you can lock yourself out for the remainder of the session or you can lock your self out for the rest of the day etc.
TopstepX which is really the “Project X” platform has all of this built in.
Ninjatrader should have the same exact lockout options. This would be a game changer for the desktop software for sure
