Hard Stop Loss
New Feature (v1.2.0)
The Hard Stop Loss feature provides an additional layer of safety by monitoring your account equity on the server side. If your drawdown exceeds a specified percentage, the system automatically triggers a "Close All" command.
How It Works
Unlike a standard Stop Loss which is executed by the broker for a specific trade, the Hard Stop Loss runs on the FlashOrder bridge itself.
- The bridge monitors your Equity and Balance every 2 seconds.
- It calculates the floating loss percentage:
(Equity - Balance) / Balance * 100. - If the floating loss % ≥ Your Configured %, it triggers
close_all_positions.
Configuration
Step-by-Step Setup
- 1Open the FlashOrder Dashboard (e.g., http://localhost:8000).
- 2Select the instance you want to configure (e.g., Instance 1).
- 3Scroll down to the Risk Management section.
- 4Enter your max drawdown percentage (e.g., 5.0). Setting to 0 disables it.
- 5Click Save.
⚠️ Important Note
This feature relies on the bridge being running and connected to MT5. It is designed as a failsafe, not a replacement for proper trade-level stop losses.
