Have a look at this dummy screeenshot. who wants to see this in the future?
@Tobias Actually I’d really rather like to have a switch for “Minimum Gain per Trade” so all my trades would be profitable 
Max position size could be doable, though maybe simply reject orders if the order would increase position size above that max. Not sure how one guarantees the max loss and/or max consecutive loosing trades?
why not copy Lightspeed or some other professional brokers? Ross Cameron would not be as good without a broker that supports it.
@Tobias It appears Lightspeed is simply implementing their own proprietary logic to mitigate risk. Fundamentally, Alpaca has chosen not to provide proprietary trading software. Rather Alpaca provides trading and data APIs for users to implement their own risk mitigation logic. Alpaca is not in the business of telling users what to trade or when to trade or how to trade. Alpaca’s focus is on providing first class tools for users to make those decisions themselves.
i see your reasons. but both for API based automated trading and manual trading it could make sense to add optional(!) protective measures, e.g . to avoid an algo could destroy an account. if it is options nonbody needs to activate them. but max position size or max daily loss (when no new positions can be opened only exited), risks could be mitigated. of course everyone could write scripts themselves but it would cost you more money due to more requests and put a high load on your server which could be avoided if you can execute the logic internay without external API requests for status checks
