Keep alive trade
The Keep Alive Trade Pro Feature is made to help prevent your account from being closed due to inactivity. It's especially useful for keeping demo accounts active or staying compliant during prop firm challenges.
When there are no trades from your main strategy, this feature will automatically open a small trade just to keep the account active. The trade uses the smallest possible lot size (usually 0.01) and is closed again as soon as possible, so it only affects the minimum possible amount (typically just the broker fee).
Settings
Symbol: The trading symbol refers to the specific financial instrument (such as a currency pair, stock, or commodity) on which the keep-alive trades will be executed.
Close after: Specify how long the position should remain open, in seconds. (Default: 0 seconds, which means the position closes immediately.)
Cron expressions: Cron expressions are used to schedule the timing and frequency of the keep-alive trades. These expressions define the exact moments when the trades will be executed, based on a recurring schedule. In the example above it will be executed every week on Wednesday at 8:30 AM (UTC). Multiple cron expressions are possible. Please refer also to our cron expression examples and documentation.
Make sure the cron expression is correct; otherwise, the system will not open the position.
