Does global safety apply across all strategies and symbols?

Yes, global safety rules in MagicTradeBot are applied across all strategies, symbols, and templates and always take highest priority over any template-level or strategy-specific rules.

How It Works

  • When a global safety condition is met (e.g., MaxLossBeforeForceClose, EmergencyClose, or MaxProfitReached/MaxLossReached), the bot will execute the rule immediately, regardless of:

    • Which trading template is active
    • The type of trade (long or short)
    • The strategy applied to the symbol

  • Template-level and symbol-specific rules are still evaluated, but global safety overrides them to protect your account from extreme losses or enforce critical profit targets.

Example

  • Suppose you have a template with a partial Take Profit rule set for BTC and ETH:

    TakeProfitRules:
  - TargetProfitPer: 10
    SellPer: 40
    EnableSmartTP: true
  • If MaxLossBeforeForceClose: 150 is triggered for BTC, the bot will close that trade immediately, ignoring the template TP rules.

Key Takeaways

  1. Global safety rules act as emergency guards across your entire trading account.
  2. They ensure that high-risk strategies or multiple simultaneous trades do not exceed your risk tolerance.
  3. Always configure global safety before testing aggressive strategies like DCA, Martingale, or progressive position sizing.

This guarantees account-level protection while letting template rules handle normal trade management.
