Real-Time Capital Protection: Introducing "Max Fee/Equity %"

In a major advancement to the platform's guidance systems, we have revamped how the AI tracks your trading costs. We are retiring the old "Net / Fees" gauge and replacing it with the highly requested Max Fee/Equity % metric.

Previously, evaluating fee efficiency required a complete roundtrip trade (an open and a close) to prevent false positives. Now, the platform measures your total execution fees directly against your total account equity in real-time. This allows the AI engine to immediately detect and halt "fee burn." If the market becomes choppy and the AI is racking up costs without delivering returns, the system now steps in forcefully to preserve your capital.

New System Defaults for Your Protection: To ensure your portfolio is protected out-of-the-box, the new Fee/Equity safeguards are enabled by default for short-term evaluation windows:

  • Warning Limit: The AI will alert you and throttle down if execution fees consume 0.5% of your total account equity.
  • Critical Limit: A critical trading halt is triggered, stopping the AI from opening new trades, if fees burn through 1.5% of your equity.
  • (For users employing long-term, low-leverage strategies, you can adjust these sliders up to a maximum 10% tolerance directly from your AI Performance Settings).

Unshakable Trading Guardrails

We’ve completely overhauled how the engine reads your dashboard settings to guarantee exactly what you configure is what trades. The platform now operates on strict rule enforcement across the board.

Whether you are configuring scheduled trading intervals, specific asset sizing decimals, or AI decision windows, the system will never guess your intent or default to hidden baseline numbers. If a critical safety parameter is ever left blank or conflicts, the platform proactively defaults to protecting your capital by pausing trading, ensuring absolute predictability.

Lightning-Fast Multi-Asset Execution

For users unleashing the AI across multiple tickers simultaneously, the core decision engine has been drastically optimized:

  • Instant Global Risk Checks: The AI now assesses your entire portfolio balance and open positions in one high-speed sweep. This ensures your global maximum trade limits and risk thresholds are perfectly evaluated before any new positions are fired into the market.
  • Smarter Ticker Recognition: We've upgraded how the platform maps automated triggers to exchanges, making the engine immune to missed trades caused by unpredictable uppercase and lowercase ticker formatting.
  • Volatility Safety Locks: We’ve fortified the trading engine’s internal synchronization. During periods of extreme market volatility, enhanced time-buffers prevent the system from accidentally firing duplicate executions when responding to rapid price swings.

Seamless Profile Upgrades

To ensure your trading is uninterrupted, all active accounts and AI snapshots have been safely upgraded for you. Your previous "Net / Fees" risk settings have been seamlessly translated to the new "Max Fee/Equity %" architecture behind the scenes, meaning your customized guardrails are fully active today without requiring you lifting a finger.
