Daily-Loss

The Daily-Loss function allows traders to limit their losses.
It operates as follows:
- The trader sets a Daily-Loss at a level they consider an acceptable loss.
- They then monitor the chart, and if the loss reaches the Daily-Loss level, they halt trading.
To start using this function, click on the Daily-Loss icon, then click on the gear icon.

Usage tips

Tips for using Daily-Loss:
- Set the Daily-Loss before the start of each trading day. This will help you control risks in intraday trading.
- Train yourself to stop trading if the Daily-Loss level is reached. This will help you avoid significant losses.
Note!
Setting a Daily-Loss is automatically applied to the current and subsequent days. If you want to change the Daily-Loss, simply specify new parameters, and they will be updated. However, it's important to note that in the trading history, Daily-Losses that were in effect on previous days will remain unchanged.

Conclusion

Visual analytics can help traders track their profits and losses, as well as control risks. Visual analytics allows selecting an appropriate data display format and enables the use of a stop-loss function to limit potential losses.
