Allowed Windows
Use allowed windows when trading should only happen during specific time ranges.
Blocked Periods
Use blocked periods for times that should be avoided inside a broader allowed day, such as lunch or a scheduled break.
Timezone Specific
The rule uses the timezone selected on the card so the enforcement window is explicit and reviewable.
Why Time Windows Matter
A trader may have edge during one part of the day and poor behavior during another. The problem is that the weak period still looks tradable in the moment.
A time-window rule removes that debate. If the trade is outside the plan, the platform can warn, flatten, or block according to the configured behavior.
Allowed Windows Versus Blocked Periods
Allowed windows define when trading is permitted. If no allowed window is active, trading is considered outside the plan.
Blocked periods define time ranges that are off-limits even if the broader day is otherwise allowed. This is useful for avoiding recurring periods without building a complicated schedule from scratch.
How TradeReign Enforces It
TradeReign can warn or enforce trading outside allowed hours or inside blocked periods. Flatten mode can close open positions or only close new entries opened during a blocked time, depending on the card setting.
When Commitment Mode freezes an enabled trading window rule, the selected windows and behavior cannot be loosened until the session ends.
FAQ
Common Questions
What is an allowed trading window?
An allowed trading window is a time range when trading is permitted. Outside the configured windows, TradeReign can warn or enforce depending on the user's settings.
Can I use more than one trading window?
Yes. TradeReign supports multiple allowed windows and multiple blocked periods, so a trader can define separate time blocks such as a morning session and an afternoon session.
Which timezone does the rule use?
The rule uses the timezone selected on the card. Dashboard display time can be customized separately, but the trading window rule keeps its own selected timezone for enforcement.
