Circuit breaker and max daily loss

The circuit breaker is a safety mechanism that pauses auto-trading when daily losses exceed your configured threshold.

How it works:

  1. Set a "Max Daily Loss" amount in Settings > Trading (e.g., $500)
  2. Throughout the trading day, Jorg AI tracks your cumulative realized losses
  3. If losses exceed your threshold, auto-trading is paused until the next trading day
  4. You receive a notification when the circuit breaker triggers
  5. Manual trading remains available even when auto-trading is paused

Why it matters:

Volatile markets can cause a cascade of losing trades. The circuit breaker prevents the AI from compounding losses during adverse conditions.

Resumption:

Auto-trading resumes automatically on the next trading day. To resume the same day, raise your Max Daily Loss above today's losses (or clear it) in Settings > Trading and confirm the "Resume auto-trading today?" prompt - the banner under the setting shows exactly how much you have lost today, so the decision is informed. Saving a higher limit without confirming the prompt keeps the pause in place.
