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 automatically resumes at the next market open. You can also manually unpause it in Settings.
