The Trading Floor — Tab 5 of 9

Guardrails

Team-wide risk enforcement

Guardrails keep discretionary desks inside agreed limits before and after entry. Rules cover leverage, symbol and exchange controls, daily loss, drawdown, per-trade risk, max trades per day, and alert routing to Telegram, Discord, Slack, or email — with emergency pause when needed.

How it fits the floor
