BF Bot Manager Safety Rules: Daily Limits & Pause After Losses (2026)

BF Bot Manager Safety Rules — Session Protection

New BFBM users search for “stop loss” and configure the wrong tab. After Bet Rules close a position (see our hedge guide and stop-loss guide). Safety Rules protect the strategy or account from continuing when something is wrong.

Quick answer: Add Safety Rules on every live strategy — max daily loss, pause after 3–5 consecutive losses, optional max bets per day. Set global limits in BFBM Settings too. Test in Simulation first.

BF Bot Manager evaluates Safety Rules before new entries in the rule stack. If a safety condition fails, the bot stops placing fresh bets until you reset or conditions clear. Full platform overview: BFBM review.

Common Safety Rule Types

Rule	Purpose
Max daily loss / profit	Stop strategy when session P&L hits cap
Pause after X losses in a row	Prevent tilt / bad-day over-trading
Pause after X wins	Lock in good day; optional
Auto-restart required	Force manual review after critical error
Max bets per market / day	Cap exposure from rule bugs

Frequently asked questions

What are Safety Rules in BF Bot Manager?

Safety Rules are strategy-level guards that stop or pause betting when limits are hit — e.g. max daily loss, max profit, pause after 5 losses in a row, or require restart after errors.

Are Safety Rules the same as stop-losses?

No. After Bet Rules exit individual trades (hedge/stop on a market). Safety Rules protect your whole session or strategy from runaway loss or over-trading.

Where do I set daily P&L limits in BFBM?

Use Safety Rules on the strategy and global Settings → Profit/Loss limits. Both layers are recommended.

Should I pause a strategy after consecutive losses?

Many traders pause or restart after 3–5 losses to avoid chasing in bad conditions. Configure this in Safety Rules rather than manually watching the bot.

Where are global profit and loss limits in BFBM?

Settings → Profit/Loss limits apply account-wide. Combine with per-strategy Safety Rules for two layers of protection.

Do Safety Rules stop open hedges from firing?

Safety Rules typically block new entries. After Bet Rules on open positions should still run — verify in Simulation with Strategy Reports.
