What safe mode does
Safe mode is meant for fast risk control. It blocks new opens on that link, but it is still different from disabling the connection completely.
- Use safe mode when you want to reduce new exposure quickly.
- Use it when you still want to keep the link itself available for controlled follow-up behavior.
What disabling a connection does
The current editor makes this explicit with the Enable Connection toggle. When disabled, trades should not be copied on that link. It does not mean the master or receiver positions are automatically cleaned up for you.
- New entries should not copy while the link is disabled.
- Existing receiver positions usually remain your responsibility unless another setting explicitly manages them.
Practical difference
- Safe mode: best when you want to stop new risk quickly without treating the link as fully paused.
- Disable connection: best when you want the link itself paused and do not want new copy actions flowing through it.
