VeighNa Risk Manager Requires Script-Based Startup

Summary

A VeighNa user reports that configured order and fill limits did not stop a CTA strategy from continuing to place orders when the trader was launched through VeighNa Station. The user had installed and loaded the risk manager, and the strategy submitted orders through code, but the reported limits appeared ineffective.

The user later found the cause: the risk manager took effect when vnTrader was launched in script mode, but not when started from VeighNa Station. The post clarifies that code-driven order entry alone does not satisfy this startup requirement. It is a single user's troubleshooting report, so it documents a specific setup issue rather than establishing behavior across all versions or configurations.

Key ideas

• A loaded risk manager may not enforce limits in every startup mode described in the post.
• The reported order-limit failure occurred when vnTrader was launched from VeighNa Station.
• The user found that launching vnTrader in script mode made the risk manager effective.
• Programmatic order entry alone did not ensure that the risk module was active.
