ConnectWay 26.10.28.1

Oct 28, 2026
Size stays free in the lock

With “Lock settings after the day’s first entry”, the loss, the goal and the account setup can only tighten until 6:00 PM New York. Size stays free.

The news phase in the window

In the Copy column, the affected account shows NEWS · NO ENTRIES from the warning until the return, and NEWS · FLAT after the flatten. Hover to see the times.

A rejection no longer takes the account out for the day

If the broker or NinjaTrader rejects a ConnectWay order, the account stays in the copy. The red banner shows what happened.

Connection drops, on every real account

When a firm’s connection drops, the warning now also covers real accounts that aren’t selected for copying.

NEWOct 27, 2026
News protection

On the news your firm forbids holding positions through (FOMC, NFP and CPI), ConnectWay warns in advance, blocks new entries and flattens the accounts — by each firm’s rule. You check the calendar and the rules in the app, on the News tab. Learn more →

ConnectWay 26.10.26.2

Oct 26, 2026
REMOVED BY FIRM

When the firm removes an account from the connection (closed, replaced or reset), the window shows REMOVED BY FIRM instead of OFFLINE. To take it off the window: Edit → setup → Remove from list → Save.

Release by support

When you ask, ConnectWay support can release an account stopped for the day (BLOWN, LOSS LIMIT, GOAL, FIRM LIMIT or PASSED), only when it is safe and until 6:00 PM New York. Support never turns your copying ON, and the account number never leaves your computer.

The setup’s lock on Tradovate accounts

The setup of Tradovate accounts shows “Auto Liquidate locks at”. If Tradovate reports an Auto Liquidate above it, the lock applies, and the screen says “at the setup’s lock”.

Auto Liquidate respects the setup’s lock

On Tradovate accounts that lock (such as Take Profit PRO), Auto Liquidate never goes above the setup’s “Auto Liquidate locks at”. Check each account’s lock against your firm’s rule.

The old AUTO LIQ. stop is gone

An account stopped by the AUTO LIQ. of earlier versions is free to copy. If it is unselected, select it again in Edit.

ConnectWay 26.10.24.2

Oct 24, 2026
BLOWN: Auto Liquidate belongs to the firm

ConnectWay no longer flattens the account a little before Auto Liquidate: the firm is the one that closes it. A closed account gets the BLOWN tag and stays out of copying until 6:00 PM New York — only that account; the others keep going.

A position the broker won’t let you close

If the broker rejects a follower’s flatten orders, a red warning says which position was left open: close it at your broker. FLATTEN ALL and the X always send the order.

The Tradovate commission, right away

On Tradovate accounts, the Total PNL and the limits count the commission right after each trade, without waiting for the charge.

Clearer warnings

The green banner closes with the X and counts the stopped accounts by tag; the connection-lost warning names the firm (Apex, Tradeify…).

Oct 21, 2026
Auto Liquidate read from Tradovate

On real Tradovate accounts, Auto Liquidate comes from Tradovate itself, read every half second: you no longer type the Peak Balance.

Hide from list

A real account that starts the day blown can be hidden from the window on this computer; nothing changes at the firm or in NinjaTrader. It comes back on its own if the firm resets it or if it receives any order.

Your plan’s firm limit

With more firms than your plan allows, accounts from the firms over the limit stop getting new entries from the 6:00 PM New York rollover — exits always go through. They show the PLAN LIMIT tag.

A cleaner top of the window

FLATTEN ALL in a fixed spot next to ON, and a 90% display size in the gear.

Feature 1 of 3 · Settings lock

After the first trade, your limits can only tighten.

Turn on one box in the gear. From the day’s first copied entry, the limits of the accounts that traded can only get tighter — until 6:00 PM New York time.

  1. beforeBefore the first entry: everything is free. Adjust the Daily Loss, the Daily Goal, the Size and the leader as you like.
  2. 09:42 ● 1st entryOn the first copied entry: the accounts that got the entry can only tighten — the daily loss and the daily goal only go down. The Size stays free, and the leader doesn’t change.
  3. 6:00 PM NYAt the session rollover: settings are released for the next day.

Accounts that haven’t traded yet that day stay free. Selecting, unselecting and flattening are still allowed.

Feature 2 of 3 · Lock the day

End the day with one click.

Decided to stop for today? Lock all of ConnectWay or just the accounts you choose. You don’t need to have traded, and the lock holds until 6:00 PM New York time.

All of ConnectWay. With positions flat, the padlock next to the gear turns copying off and blocks ON. The leader and the selected accounts are locked too.
1·2Only the accounts you choose. Each account’s padlock. A locked account gets no copies and can’t be selected today; the others keep copying.

On a locked account, a position opened outside ConnectWay is flattened and an order placed outside is canceled. If the position is reopened from outside more than 3 times in the day, ConnectWay stops acting on it and lets you know.

At 6:00 PM New York time, everything unlocks on its own.

ConnectWay turns OFF now and ON stays blocked until 6:00 PM New York time. No copies go out until then.

Feature 3 of 3 · Your firm’s rules

Your firm’s rules, on every account.

Every firm has its own rules. Fill in the account setup once, with the firm’s numbers, and ConnectWay tracks each account by its own rules.

  • Calculated Auto Liquidate: Peak Balance − Max drawdown. The Peak Balance rises with every new high — Intraday, right away; EOD, at 6:00 PM New York time.
  • From Closed: in the table, how much is left until the Auto Liquidate, account by account.
  • Blown accounts leave the copy: when the firm closes an account at the Auto Liquidate, ConnectWay marks it BLOWN and stops copying to it — only that account; the others keep copying.
  • In the same setup: the firm’s daily loss limit, the funded goal and the max contracts — ConnectWay never sends more than the max.
