Recommended Settings for Leeloo Trading
  • --Set a daily loss alert at 1.8% (80% of Leeloo Trading's 2.2% limit) so you stop trading before the hard cap.
  • --Enable end-of-day position flattening if possible. Trailing drawdown resets at session close, so flat positions reduce overnight risk.
  • --Leeloo Trading does NOT allow overnight holding. Set an auto-flatten or reminder 5 minutes before market close.
  • --Weekend holding is not allowed. Close all positions before the Friday session ends.
  • --Save your workspace template after configuring so you can restore it quickly if settings are lost.
