Risk Gate Summary

TrGo TradeControl Try for free Start Free 14-Day Trial

Risk Gate shows whether the current operation passes the enabled risk rules. The circuit breaker has a separate state that can remain latched after an attempted violation.

Check Results

Section titled “Check Results”
  • OK: the required checks pass.
  • Pending/Warning: required data is missing, insufficient, or not yet valid. Submission is prevented, but there is no confirmed violation and the circuit breaker does not latch for this result.
  • Violation / NOK: available data confirms that an enabled rule is breached. The operation is blocked.

Enabled numerical rules use the configured value as the limit, including zero. Only disabling a rule skips its evaluation. The circuit breaker switch controls latching; switching it off does not disable the other enabled risk rules.

When the Circuit Breaker Latches

Section titled “When the Circuit Breaker Latches”

When Circuit breaker (halt on violation) is enabled, it is armed. It enters a halted state only when you attempt an operation that violates a risk rule. The operation is blocked and trading remains halted until Reset.

Editing a value, moving the setup, recalculating, repainting the UI, or consulting Preflight or Risk Gate does not latch the breaker. Required data that is Pending/Warning does not latch it either. If the breaker is disabled, a confirmed violation still blocks the operation through the enabled rule, without latching the breaker.

For example, with the breaker enabled, a preview showing risk above the configured cap does not halt trading. Attempting that operation triggers the halt. A preview or attempt with missing required risk data prevents submission but does not confirm a violation or trigger the halt.

Reset and Reasons

Section titled “Reset and Reasons”

Use the existing status modal to review the reasons for a blocked or pending operation. Once halted, click Reset after reviewing and correcting the cause. Reset clears the latched state; it does not bypass active rules or supply missing data. Submission still requires the current checks to pass.
