how easy is it to work around the locks? meaning, if i set a max trade limit, hit the limit, can i remove the add on and just keep trading? or would it still be locked for the remainder of the session

Hey rwlink3z8,
Good question! And yeah, you basically hit the nail on the head.
If you remove the add-on after hitting a limit (like max trades), the limit is gone. You could then trade again in that same session.
Why? Because the add-on is the thing enforcing the rules. When you remove it, the enforcer is gone, and so are its rules. NinjaTrader itself doesn't keep that lock; the add-on does.
So why don't I just block removal? Honestly, trying to force an add-on to stay put is a bad idea. It's technically very difficult and super risky – it could easily lead to NinjaTrader crashing, freezing, or causing all sorts of other weird bugs. Not worth the potential mess!
Think of the add-on as a tool to help you stay disciplined while it's running. It needs to be active to do its job.
Hope that makes sense!

I could potentially implement something like that but it would be extremely hard to predict, not sure i want to take any chances with peoples money.
Ninjatrader themselves also don't reveal internal code that's responsible for doing something like this, If they did i would do it in a heartbeat.
Hopefully you find something you can use!
Best of luck and happy trading!
Aviram.
