Hello. From what I understand from the Documentation as well as the Support Board, it seems that you can set Risk Management parameters if you are using Teton order routing.

Is there any way to specifically lock Sierra out from trading (non-Teton order routing i.e Rithmic order routing) during certain trading sessions?

I have come to realize that I need to lock myself out of trading the Asian and early London sessions......and yes, I don't have the simple self control to "just not trade during those times"

Thank you for your time.

There is not a built-in method to lock trading for a certain time and there are no solutions within Sierra Chart that are not insurmountable.

There are a few trading studies that let you set a time where you can trade (and hence can not trade outside of those times), but these are readily changeable.

Even if you create a custom study to control "Trading Locked" during a certain time, and throw away the password, you can always just remove the study to override this.
For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service:
