Help · Setup FAQ
Five questions people ask before they run their first session.
The same five setup questions come up in every support thread, so we put them on one page with anchors. Skim the list below, jump to the one you need, and follow the cross-link at the end of each answer into the surface that does the work.
Which prop firms does Stickline support and where are their templates?
Three prebuilt templates ship out of the box — Apex Trader Funding, TopStep, and FTMO — each with the firm's stated drawdown, daily-loss, and profit-target thresholds already filled in. You can pin them from /templates; customising the thresholds for your exact eval happens in the session builder at /app/session.
How do I set a daily-loss cap that maps to my firm's drawdown?
Add a loss_cap rule with a maxLossPerDay USD threshold sized to your firm's stated daily-loss floor — for example, set it to $1,250if you're on the Apex $50K evaluation. The cap is evaluated on every closed trade; once your running session P&L breaches it, the breach rail lights up. Tune it inline from the builder.
Can I edit my rules mid-session, and what happens to already-flagged trades?
Yes. Rule overrides are debounced (300 ms) and re-applied to every evaluation, so the live trade-table breach rail reflows with the new rule set immediately. Already-flagged (breached) past trades stay flagged — the engine treats a historical breach as a historical fact and does not silently unflag it. If you genuinely need a clean sheet, archive the session and start a new one instead.
How does the pre-trade gate behave — block or warn?
The pre-trade engine surfaces a confirmation modal (<BreachConfirmDialog />) — it does nothard-block. When a rule would fire, you read the exact condition on the modal and decide: confirm to log the trade anyway (and the committed trade still records the rule fired in the breach rail), or cancel to abort the entry. The gate's purpose is to put a deliberate pause between impulse and click.
Where do my trades live and how do I export them as CSV?
Every committed trade lands on /app/trades in the <TradesHistoryView />. The list is newest-first, with filter chips for date range, rule fired, and outcome, and an Export CSV button that downloads trades-YYYY-MM-DD.csv of the currently filteredset — UTF-8 BOM + RFC 4180 quoting, so Excel / Numbers / Google Sheets all open it cleanly. Higher-volume export needs an annual plan; see pricing.
