Daily limits, minimum RR and locked logging

Cap your trades and losses per day and get warned about low risk:reward.


Daily limits live in Checklist & Rules → Daily Limits.

  • Max trades per day — whole number; 0 means no limit.
  • Max losses per day — whole number; 0 means no limit.
  • Minimum risk : reward — for example 2 or 1 : 2. Log Trade warns when a trade's planned RR is lower. Risk % isn't tracked, because Red Candle doesn't store money values.
  • Lock logging when a limit is hit — Log Trade is disabled for the rest of the day.

Click Save Changes.

Where you see them

  • The sidebar's Daily Limits panel shows trades and losses today against your limits.
  • The Dashboard's Trades today shows how many trades are left.
  • The pre-trade checklist shows Trades today and Losses today, and when logging is locked: "Daily loss limit reached — logging is locked until tomorrow".

Limits count every pair, because they're about your day, not a chart.

Good to know

Red Candle can't block MetaTrader — the lock only stops logging in the app. Treat it as your signal to stop for the day.
