Daily Loss Limit

Risk Management

The Daily Loss Limit feature in NinjaTrader allows you to set a maximum loss threshold for each trading day. This tool helps manage risk by automatically halting trading activity for the day, once the specified loss limit is reached.

Enabling A Daily Loss Limit To Your Account

Navigate to the blue icon in the upper right-hand corner of your screen and click on 'Settings'.

From the Settings menu, select 'Accounts' and then navigate to 'Risk Settings'.

Activate the Daily Loss Limit toggle to enable a daily loss trigger at the specified value. Once you have configured your settings, 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) and carries through the end of the day's trading session (3:45 PM Central Time).

Once the Loss Limit has been reached, all positions will be closed and all working orders will be cancelled; and your account will be unable to enter new positions until the start of the next trading session at 5:00 PM Central Time. You can adjust your Loss Limit settings to unlock your account.
