1. Introduction #

This guide explains how pausing automated trading in PickMyTrade works and when to use it. With this feature, you can temporarily halt trade execution without interrupting alert delivery. It’s particularly helpful when you need to evaluate market conditions, tweak your strategy, or perform account updates — all while keeping real-time alerts flowing.

2. Pausing Automated Trading (Under Alerts Section) #

In the Alerts section, users have the ability to pause automated trading by clicking the Pause Account button. When the account is paused:

• The status changes to “Account Paused” with a red indicator.
• Alerts will still be received but will not be processed or executed.

To resume automated trading, click the Resume Account button. Once resumed:

• The status updates to “Account Running” with a green indicator.
• Alerts will be processed and executed as usual.
