Risk limits
Set them in Settings → Risk limits. Once a limit is hit, new desk orders are refused for the rest of the day.
- Daily loss limit: stop trading once realised losses reach this amount.
- Max trades per day: counts journal trades and desk orders placed today.
- Max loss streak: pause after this many losing trades in a row today.
Pre-trade check
When you press Review & place, Flowsense checks the order against your rules and recent behaviour first: your limits, any prop challenge room, your loss streak and how you usually trade after losses, revenge trades (within 30 minutes of a loss) and oversizing against your usual risk. Then the coach sums it up as OK, Caution or Stop with up to three reasons that cite your numbers.
You can still place an order after a caution. Only hard limits (risk limits or a breached prop challenge) block it.
Without an AI connection, you still see every check computed in code.
