The cool-off period is a valuable feature designed to help traders manage their activities responsibly and maintain focus while trading. It provides a way to take a step back, avoid impulsive decisions, and regain clarity during high-stress trading situations.

Once activated, the cool-off period temporarily restricts your ability to engage in futures trading, ensuring you take the necessary time to reassess your strategies or financial goals. Importantly, this feature is irrevocable once enabled, meaning you cannot end the cooling-off period prematurely, reinforcing its role as a safeguard for responsible trading behavior.

During the cooling-off period, you can reduce, close, or adjust the margin and the leverage of your current positions. But you can't increase positions or open a new one.
Learn how you can switch on the cool-off period as below:

  1. Navigate to the Chart settings menu at the side menu of your trading screen
