Weekly Damage Cap
The rule watches cumulative weekly P&L rather than only today's session result.
Carries Across Sessions
Unlike daily loss, the weekly limit persists across multiple trading sessions until the trading week reset.
Session Boundary Layer
The weekly rule pairs with max daily loss so one bad day and one bad week both have predefined stopping points.
Why Weekly Loss Limits Matter
Some traders do not blow up in one session. They slowly dig a hole across several days, especially after a rough start to the week.
A weekly limit prevents the trader from treating each new day as a full reset when the broader week is already damaged. It creates a bigger boundary around the account.
How TradeReign Uses the Rule
TradeReign tracks the configured weekly loss boundary and compares it against weekly P&L for the selected account and environment. When the boundary is reached, the rule can flatten open positions and block new trades until the trading week reset.
The rule is intentionally stricter than a reminder. It exists for traders who want the platform to stop the week when the plan says the week is done.
How to Choose the Limit
A weekly loss limit should usually be larger than a daily loss limit, but not so large that the account is already badly damaged by the time it triggers.
Many traders use a weekly number that represents the maximum amount they are willing to lose before stepping away and reviewing the week instead of continuing to trade from frustration.
FAQ
Common Questions
What is a max weekly loss rule?
A max weekly loss rule sets the largest cumulative loss a trader will allow across the trading week. It is meant to stop a bad week before multiple losing sessions stack into larger account damage.
How is max weekly loss different from max daily loss?
Max daily loss controls one TradeReign session. Max weekly loss carries across sessions and watches the cumulative weekly result until the trading week resets.
Can TradeReign enforce a weekly loss limit?
TradeReign includes a max weekly loss rule for supported workflows. The user defines the weekly loss amount, and TradeReign can flatten and block trading when the configured weekly boundary is reached.
