I agree with the OP. It would be nice if IB had something like this. There have been times when i have gotten down a little, and made some dumb trades/overtraded out of frustration and ended up down a lot. I think something that essentially locks you out of your account for an hour or two if you...

So i see that its possible to set a daily loss limit with ButtonTrader which is nice. Two questions- 1. Is it possible to set up ButtonTrader to have your buying power decrease if you are down X amount. So for example if I dont want to get completely shut out of my account but would like...

A few question for TWS users- 1. Is there a way to set a limit amount down on the day, where I would essentially get closed out of all positions and be unable to trade for the rest of the day if I hit this point? For example, if i didnt want to lose more than $2000 in a day, is there a way to...

I have emailed Neal a few times for industry/hedge fund advice. He has always responded and been helpful and genuine. For anyone who thinks he's trying to get over on people, you're wrong. Why would he be in the headhunting biz if he didn't get his cut (which is probably right around the...
