Native Risk Enforcement & Trade Safeguards

To make it viable as a primary execution platform (not just analysis), the following native risk management safeguards would be extremely valuable:

1. Account-Level Risk Locks (Hard Enforcement)

• Max daily loss (currency & %)

• Max weekly loss

• Hard equity stop

• Automatic lockout once limits are hit (no new trades)

2. Trade Count & Loss Limits

• Max trades per day

• Max losses per day

• Auto-disable trading after X consecutive losses

3. Automatic Flatten & Order Cancellation

• Auto-flatten positions when:

  • Daily loss limit is hit

  • Session end is reached

  • Manual “panic flatten” is triggered

• Cancel all working orders automatically

4. Position & Size Controls

• Max position size per symbol

• Reject oversized orders automatically

• Enforce bracket orders (stop + target mandatory)

5. Time-Based Safeguards

• Trading window enforcement (e.g., NY Open only)

• Block entries outside defined session times

6. Risk Alerts & Soft Warnings

• Alerts at 50%, 75%, 90% of daily drawdown

• Visual risk meter tied to account equity

Why this matters
These features would:

• Prevent account blow-ups

• Reduce emotional / revenge trading

• Make ATAS competitive as a full execution + risk platform

• Increase suitability for prop traders and small accounts

ATAS already excels at analysis.
Adding hard risk enforcement would make it a complete professional trading environment.
