# Daily Loss Limit NinjaTrader's Daily Loss Limit helps you manage risk by automatically halting trading when your losses reach a predetermined threshold. ## Enabling A Daily Loss Limit To Your Account

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.
