Log in to your NinjaTrader brokerage account, navigate to the blue icon in the upper right-hand corner and click on "Settings."

From the Settings menu select "Accounts" and navigate to "Risk Settings."

Set your Daily Loss Limit threshold amount and click 'Save' to confirm.

## How Daily Loss Is Calculated Daily loss is calculated on net profit and loss starting at the beginning of the day's trading session (5:00 PM Central Time) through the end of the day's trading (3:45 PM Central Time). Once the Loss Limit has been reached, all positions will be closed and all orders will be cancelled. Your account cannot enter new orders until the start of the next trading session at 5:00 PM Central Time. *** [Try AlgoBox™ for free ](https://www.algoboxpro.com/start-trial)- No credit card required, no obligation, no gimmicks.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.algoboxpro.com/essential-tips-and-techniques/daily-loss-limit.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
