Flatten Positions When Loss Rules Met Function Not Working

In Global Profit Loss Management, I have the "Flatten Position When Loss Rules Met"checked and my Loss Trigger is "-500.00." Trigger date was set for today "4/28/2022" and under status it says "Positions Flattened for today because daily Loss Met. Feature Disabled until next trading day in Sierra Chart." However, I was still able to trade today past my trigger amount of -$500. I'm trading the MESM22 Micro using the US.EPM22 E-Mini Symbol for order flow. I would like it to lock me out of trading and prevent me from taking any more trades when the Loss Trigger is met. Thank you.

Yes there is no locking that occurs by default. It has to be enabled:
Global Profit/Loss Management: Lock Trading (Global Settings >> Global Profit/Loss Management)
