Price Limits

The Price Limits section is used to create reusable price-based rules for the Futures module.

Open this section when you want to prepare separate price-boundary rules that can later be connected to a strategy instead of configuring everything directly inside the strategy.

Why this section exists​

Price Limits are placed in a separate section because the same rule can be reused across multiple strategies.

Keeping this in a separate section makes strategy settings cleaner and easier to reuse. Instead of repeating the same price-boundary logic again and again, you can create a rule once and reuse it where needed.

What users do here​

In this section, users create and manage named price-limit rules.

Use these rules when you want a strategy to follow additional price-related boundaries instead of relying only on its main trading conditions.

What a price-limit rule contains​

A rule in this section usually includes:

  • a clear rule name;
  • an indicator used as the reference point;
  • a timeframe;
  • an offset;
  • a refresh interval.

What these settings mean​

This section is easier to use when you understand the practical meaning of each setting.

Indicator​

The indicator defines which reference the rule should use.

This means the rule needs a reference point, and the selected indicator determines what that point will be.

Timeframe​

The timeframe defines the interval used by the rule.

This matters because the same rule can behave differently depending on whether it is applied to a shorter or longer timeframe.

Offset​

The offset defines how far the limit should be placed relative to the selected reference.

This is the distance between the rule and the chosen indicator reference point.

Refresh interval​

The refresh interval controls how often the rule should be updated.

The rule does not have to remain fixed and can be refreshed at the selected interval.

Creating or editing a rule​

When creating or editing a rule, the user gives it a clear name and selects the price-limit settings needed for that rule.

Editing Price Limit rule

The goal is to prepare a reusable rule that can later be attached to a strategy.

Enable, disable, and clone​

Rules can be managed without rebuilding them from scratch every time.

Users can:

  • enable a rule when it should be active;
  • disable a rule without deleting it;
  • clone a rule to create a similar version more quickly;
  • edit a rule later if the strategy setup changes.

This works well for testing and maintaining several similar approaches.

Main actions​

The section supports the actions users usually need for reusable setup elements.

Users can:

  • create a new rule;
  • edit an existing rule;
  • enable or disable a rule;
  • clone a rule;
  • delete a rule;
  • search and filter the list;
  • save their preferred table layout.

How Price Limits are used in strategies​

Price Limits are designed to be selected later in Trade Strategies.

A strategy can use a prepared price-boundary rule instead of requiring the user to rebuild the same logic inside every strategy.

For users, the benefits are clear:

  • strategy setup becomes cleaner;
  • rule logic becomes easier to reuse;
  • price-boundary conditions become easier to maintain.

Typical workflow​

A typical workflow looks like this:

  1. Open Price Limits.
  2. Create a new rule with a clear name.
  3. Select the indicator, timeframe, offset, and refresh interval.
  4. Save the rule.
  5. Enable it when needed.
  6. Go to Trade Strategies and assign this rule to a strategy.

Summary​

Use Price Limits when you want to manage price-boundary rules separately and reuse them across strategy setups.

The section makes price-limit rules a reusable and maintainable part of Futures configuration.
