These tools help you stay disciplined and protect your account by giving you control over when trading stops and how risk is managed.

When an account is locked:
All open positions are closed immediately
All pending orders are canceled
No new trades are copied
Account settings are frozen and display a lock icon
You can still monitor locked accounts from the Risk Management page.

Lockout is a Tradesyncer-only feature. It does not restrict trading at the broker level. You can still manually trade the account directly in Tradovate or your trading platform.

The values you set in Tradesyncer are the source of truth at the account level

In contrast:
Lockout is separate
It only prevents trade copying within Tradesyncer
It does not block manual trading on the account itself
