The risk assistant dashboard will show some useful risk information like the current drawdown risk as a percentage of the account balance, unrealized net profit for both buyers and sellers, current equity and margin, monetory win/loss ratio and much more.

Account Locking Features

Our Risk Management Tool is designed to halt trading under specific conditions; however, users can restart NinjaTrader during critical situations to manage their trades. The NinjaTrader team advises against allowing third-party vendors to restrict a trader's activity, as this may prevent users from effectively managing their accounts during urgent circumstances. Instead they provide features to autolock your account from overtrading, this can be accessed in your account settings page.
