Your firm sets the limits that decide whether you pass or fail. Personal risk settings are different: they are limits you set on yourself, inside your firm's, so you stop before the rule that actually matters gets anywhere near you.
You will find them on the Risk Management page in the terminal.
See how much room you have left
The page opens with a monitor table showing live room remaining across every one of your accounts at once. If you trade several accounts, this is the fastest way to see which one is closest to a limit without opening each in turn.
The limits you can set
Daily loss limit. Your own ceiling for the day, tighter than your firm's. It can optionally trail from your session peak, measured against either realised or unrealised peak equity.
Daily profit target. A point at which you stop for the day rather than give it back.
Trade limits. A maximum number of trades per day and per week, each with a live counter.
Contract limits per symbol. Cap size on individual instruments rather than across the whole account.
Blocked symbols. A list of instruments you do not want to be able to trade at all.
Default brackets. An automatic take profit and stop loss in dollars, applied either per position or as an auto-OCO group.
Choose what happens when you hit one
Each limit carries its own action, so a limit can warn you or genuinely stop you:
Do nothing. The limit is tracked and displayed, but nothing is enforced.
Liquidate. Open positions are closed when the limit trips.
Liquidate and block. Positions are closed and you cannot open anything new.
The one-way lock
Setting a limit only helps if you cannot quietly raise it an hour later. The one-way lock prevents exactly that: with it on, you can make your settings stricter but not looser for the rest of the day or week.
Turn it on at the start of a session, while you are calm, rather than in the middle of a losing run.
What your firm can require
Firms can shape this page rather than leave it entirely to you. Depending on your firm, you may find that ceilings are imposed on how loose your settings can be, that a daily loss limit is mandatory, that brackets are required on every trade, or that the page is locked entirely.
If a setting will not move, that is your firm's policy rather than a fault.
