Does PropExecutor have a platform-wide kill switch?
Quick answer
Yes. PropExecutor's operators have a platform-wide trading halt for emergencies, such as a price feed problem that would produce wrong fills. It stops new trading across the platform until the issue is resolved. It is an operator control, not something firms or traders can trigger.
Detailed answer
A kill switch exists for situations where continuing to trade would be worse than pausing.
When it would be used
- A price feed producing clearly wrong prices.
- A serious platform incident affecting fills.
- An emergency requiring trading to stop while it is investigated.
What it does
Stops new trading platform-wide. It does not delete or alter accounts, trades or rule versions.
Who controls it
PropExecutor's operators, through the operator console. Firms cannot trigger it for the platform.
Firm-level equivalents
For a single firm's accounts, the admin panel offers targeted tools:
- Close positions on an account.
- Breach an account manually with a reason.
- Rotate passwords to cut off access.
Communicating an incident
If trading is halted, tell your traders promptly. Your outage policy, written in advance, decides how affected accounts are treated. Breach and trade timestamps in each account's record show exactly what happened before and after the halt.
