Non-overridable is the feature

Every month someone asks for an override button. Building it would delete the product.

The most requested feature in our inbox is an escape hatch. Just for emergencies. Just with a confirmation dialog. Just with a 5-minute delay. Reasonable-sounding versions arrive weekly, and we decline all of them, because every version reduces to the same thing: a rule that holds until you really want it not to.

Think about when you would actually press it. Not on a calm Tuesday when everything is going to plan — there is nothing to override. You would press it down $700, three losers deep, certain the next trade is the one that comes back. That is the exact moment the rule exists for. An override button is a product that works right up until it is needed.

The stop-loss you can drag is a suggestion. The daily limit you can edit mid-tilt is a mood. Traders do not fail for lack of rules; they fail because their rules are editable by the least qualified version of themselves.

So the constraint is architectural, not cosmetic. Loosening a rule mid-session is rejected at the API — there is no request that works, which means there is nothing for a desperate half-hour to find. Stricter changes apply instantly. The asymmetry is the design.

If that sounds extreme, notice that you already accept it everywhere it matters: your prop firm will not waive its drawdown limit because you asked nicely at 11:22. RedLine simply puts a fence you control at a stricter line than the one that ends your account.
