ADT checks the account, session and broker state before entry, then autonomously manages configured protection and exits for each position through broker-confirmed flat. The controls below describe the current implementation and its operating limits.
Separate confirmation screens keep authorization and manual intervention explicit. These isolated captures illustrate a one-position configuration; the current session ledger also supports per-position and all-position overrides.
In Trading settings, turn on Live trading. The confirmation identifies the account and position budget. Acknowledge the real-money warning before selecting Turn On Live Trading. The setting stays on until you turn it off.

Configured exits are automatic. To intervene, use Flatten Position or Flatten All and confirm the action. The same exit/reconciliation system handles the override until broker-confirmed flat. This capture illustrates the one-position control.
Inspect the screenPer-position notional, aggregate open capital, cumulative session allocation, available funds, entry count and concurrency are checked together.
Operating limitA spending cap is not a maximum-loss guarantee. Broker/data capacity and entry timing may lower actual participation.
An optional configured session-loss threshold pauses new entries and initiates managed exits when available realized and quoted unrealized values breach it.
Operating limitMissing or delayed quotes, gaps, slippage and exit delays can make the final loss larger. This is not a guaranteed portfolio loss cap.
Separate settings and a persistent account-mode badge. Live entry requires explicit authorization for the exact broker account.
Operating limitOperator authorization does not remove trading risk.
Checks cover reconciliation, session window, eligible instruments, size and required quote conditions. Entry uses capped limit prices.
Operating limitA limit can prevent a fill. Data quality and broker permissions still matter.
State gating, a single service lock, unique order records, tagged orders and execution de-duplication.
Operating limitBroker reconciliation is required after interruption; unexpected broker state may block operation.
Configured broker-side stop and market-on-close backstop; price-driven stop ratchets never loosen under the strategy.
Operating limitStop prices do not guarantee execution prices. Protection must be accepted by the broker.
The engine automatically initiates its configured exit before the actual exchange close and continues its reconciliation and retry process.
Operating limitHalts, disconnects or rejection can leave a position open overnight.
Pause new entries, disarm, flatten one position, flatten all, emergency stop, resolve an error and inspect broker state.
Operating limitFlattening submits an exit request. It is not an immediate or guaranteed liquidation.
The dashboard identifies the protection authority. A resting, accepted broker stop can operate without the UI. App-monitored protection depends on the service receiving data and remaining connected.
Verify actual orders in IBKR when connectivity or protection is uncertain. A green connection indicator alone is not proof of an accepted stop.
Use a paper account. Confirm mode and account, understand delayed versus real-time data, review strategy settings, and practice the recovery procedure. Read the trading risk disclosure before requesting live access.
Read the risk disclosureProfit-protection activation raises a protective threshold. It does not impose a fixed take-profit ceiling. Actual fills depend on broker acceptance, liquidity and the available price.
Broker fills establish the quantity and average entry.
The configured downside stop protects confirmed exposure.
Each position records its own high-water mark.
The threshold advances protection; the position can keep running.
A higher peak can raise the stop. A pullback does not lower the recorded high or loosen the threshold.
A reversal through protection, the session deadline or an enabled observed-loss condition initiates the exit.
ADT reconciles fills, position quantity and remaining orders before marking the lifecycle complete.
Mechanics, not a performance example. The recommended preset is provisional and retains existing thresholds after synthetic scenario evaluation. Read the values, evidence and limitations.
