Trigger Logic
- Continuous Monitoring: The system monitors trading accounts in real-time whenever orders are sent to the trade server.
- Request Calculation: The trigger counts the number of orders over the specified time interval.
- Threshold Exceeded: If the trade request count exceeds the configured limit, the system:
- Generates a notification for the dealer.
- If automation is enabled, blocks trading on the account.
🚨 If an account is blocked, it remains read only for the duration set in the "Block Time Interval" parameter.
