Autoliquidation/Trading Locked feature

[Matt Skinner]

Hello, I have finished my trade timer app that communicates with ninja and turns on automatically once position is flattened. Is there any way for addon to Autoliquidate/Lock/Prevent account from trading. Would like to lock trading for the duration of the timer and unlock once the timer is over. The only thing I found so far is putting flatten function into a loop, but that doesn't seem too graceful.

Hello Matt Skinner,

There isn't anything supported to prevent a user from placing orders using the regular trade windows.

However, if you are placing orders solely through an addon, indicator, or strategy, such as by calling order methods from button click handler event methods, you could use logic to prevent the script from calling the order method when the user clicks the button.

Below is a link to an example of placing orders with button clicks.
