How long does a trading cooldown last?

How long each one runs

• Daily loss / profit target / max trades: until your next daily reset, in your account's own timezone and reset hour.
• Loss streak, soft tier: a fixed window from when it fired — 3 hours by default.
• Loss streak, hard tier: a longer fixed window — 12 hours by default. When it lifts, your session resets.
• Manual lockout: exactly the 3, 6 or 12 hours you picked.

Note: Fixed-duration locks are clamped to a maximum of 24 hours, so no configuration can lock you out indefinitely.

While a lock is running

• New trades are closed on sight: a watchdog flattens anything that appears, wherever you placed it — web, mobile app or a third-party client.
• Blocked trades are free: they do not count toward your daily trade limit and do not extend your losing streak.
• Your key is frozen: you cannot disconnect or replace your API key during a lock. Otherwise pulling the key would be the way around it.
• Rules that are ON are frozen too: you cannot loosen or disable them mid-lock. Rules that are off can still be turned on.

Where to watch it

The Live dashboard shows the countdown to release, and the header carries a "Locked" pill from any page so you can see it without going looking. The activity feed names the rule that fired and the trades it closed.
