Description
Although I try to be careful with my code, the possibility of an accidental loop that forever buys and sells is quite frightening, due to loss of the bid-ask spread in each transaction. A simple solution is to enable the customer to set the maximum number of daily trades for the account. Any runaway process will quickly hit this limit and the damage limited.
**Product request:** A limit on the number of daily trades allowed for an account, set by the customer
An alternate solution is a kill switch coded by the customer, ideally using a different computer, but would require continuous account monitoring at very high speed to recognize and kill a runaway loop.
