Trader's Guard Scenarios Guide

What Is a Scenario?

A scenario is a saved set of Trader's Guard rule configurations. You can use scenarios to quickly apply the same group of guard rules to an account without setting up each rule manually every time.

For example, you can create one scenario for strict risk control and another scenario for more flexible trading conditions. When needed, you can switch between these saved scenarios from the scenario selector.

Best Practices

1. Use clear scenario names. Name each scenario by its purpose, such as Strict Risk Control, Normal Trading, or News Protection. Clear names help you choose the right scenario quickly.

2. Review the rules before saving a scenario. Before creating or updating a scenario, open the active rules and confirm their thresholds, units, and penalties. This helps prevent saving an unintended configuration.

3. Create separate scenarios for different trading conditions. Keep different rule sets for different purposes, such as a new account setup, normal trading, news trading, or a period when you want tighter risk control.

4. Apply scenarios carefully. When switching to another scenario, review the rule list in the confirmation dialog before clicking Apply. The selected scenario will change the guard rules used by the current account.

5. Save changes after editing scenario rules. If you edit rules while a scenario is selected, click Save changes to update that scenario. Otherwise, the changes may not be stored in the saved scenario.

6. Delete scenarios you no longer use. Keep only the scenarios you actively need so the scenario selector stays easy to understand and less error-prone.
