Brief Overview

When you set up the strategy two things can quickly cause issues if not controlled properly:

1. Too many open positions, and
2. Unmanaged exposure during global session changes.

This guide explains how to use the Max Open Orders and Order Session Management settings to keep your strategy disciplined, protected, and aligned with the trading environment. You’ll learn how to cap exposure, choose active trading sessions, and decide what happens to open trades when a session ends.

Steps, Instructions & Use-Cases

1. Max Open Orders

This setting controls how many trades your strategy is allowed to keep open at the same time.

How it works:

If your cap is 3 orders, and the strategy already has 3 open positions, any new indicator arriving from the provider will be ignored until a position closes. This ensures you never unintentionally stack risk.

Use-case example:

A user running a short-term strategy on gold may cap open orders at 1 to avoid conflicting setups triggering simultaneously.

2. Order Session Management

This section defines how your strategy behaves around global trading sessions, helping you avoid unnecessary exposure or volatility outside your preferred hours.
