# No new risk after session end

When the written session clock ends (or you hit the time-box), stop opening new risk — flat or hold only what the overnight/GO rules already allow; do not “one more trade” past the bell. Pair with session-time-box, log-session-end-checklist, empty-sleeve-overnight, no-overnight-margin-without-go, stop-adding-size-after-loss-day. Agent Lane does not place trades, hold wallets, or invent broker UI.

## Answer first

When the written session clock ends (or you hit the time-box): no new risk. Flat or hold only what overnight/GO rules already allow. Do not open a last ticket, add size, or start a fresh thesis past the bell. Confirm positions in the official venue UI, run the session-end checklist, empty or park the sleeve.

## No new risk after session end in plain terms

1. **Clock hits** — written [session-time-box.md](./session-time-box.md) end, or declared close on [log-session-end-checklist.md](./log-session-end-checklist.md).
2. **New risk off** — no new tickets, no add-size, no new names or strategies past the bell.
3. **Hold only with prior GO** — flatten/reduce unless [no-overnight-margin-without-go.md](./no-overnight-margin-without-go.md) already permits a hold you wrote.
4. **Close deliberately** — [empty-sleeve-overnight.md](./empty-sleeve-overnight.md), revoke idle connectors, receipt + checklist — not “one more.”

## Why “one more trade” past the bell is the failure mode

- **Hard stop becomes soft** — [session-time-box.md](./session-time-box.md), [never-skip-review-before-place.md](./never-skip-review-before-place.md).
- **Overnight rules skipped** — [no-overnight-margin-without-go.md](./no-overnight-margin-without-go.md), [empty-sleeve-overnight.md](./empty-sleeve-overnight.md).
- **Loss-day cool-down ignored** — [stop-adding-size-after-loss-day.md](./stop-adding-size-after-loss-day.md).
- **Close ritual never runs** — [log-session-end-checklist.md](./log-session-end-checklist.md), [revoke-connectors-when-idle.md](./revoke-connectors-when-idle.md).

## Shield stack

1. [session-time-box.md](./session-time-box.md) — hard end for the live window.
2. No new risk after session end (this page) — freeze new risk when that clock hits.
3. [no-overnight-margin-without-go.md](./no-overnight-margin-without-go.md) — hold only what you already GO’d.
4. [empty-sleeve-overnight.md](./empty-sleeve-overnight.md) — park cash when idle begins.
5. [log-session-end-checklist.md](./log-session-end-checklist.md) — written close ritual.
6. [stop-adding-size-after-loss-day.md](./stop-adding-size-after-loss-day.md) — cool-down if the day already hit the stop.
7. [never-skip-review-before-place.md](./never-skip-review-before-place.md) — reject past-the-bell places in the venue UI.

## How to run no new risk after session end

1. Honor the written end time — [session-time-box.md](./session-time-box.md); no invented UI.
2. Flat or hold only what GO already allows — [confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-fills-in-broker-not-chat.md), [confirm-cancel-in-broker-not-chat.md](./confirm-cancel-in-broker-not-chat.md), [no-overnight-margin-without-go.md](./no-overnight-margin-without-go.md).
3. No new size, names, or strategies past the bell — [size-from-sleeve-not-from-hope.md](./size-from-sleeve-not-from-hope.md), [stop-adding-size-after-loss-day.md](./stop-adding-size-after-loss-day.md).
4. Run the session end checklist — [log-session-end-checklist.md](./log-session-end-checklist.md), [receipt-log-after-session.md](./receipt-log-after-session.md), [revoke-connectors-when-idle.md](./revoke-connectors-when-idle.md).
5. Empty or park; enforce overnight rules — [empty-sleeve-overnight.md](./empty-sleeve-overnight.md), [kill-switch-before-travel.md](./kill-switch-before-travel.md); scale later only with [write-go-before-scale-up.md](./write-go-before-scale-up.md).
6. Journal any override that re-opens risk — [journal-every-override.md](./journal-every-override.md), [revoke-before-debug.md](./revoke-before-debug.md), [never-skip-review-before-place.md](./never-skip-review-before-place.md).

## Practical checklist

- Time-box written and honored — no live new risk past the end.
- When clock hits: no new tickets, no add-size, no new names.
- “One more trade” is not a GO.
- Hold only with prior overnight GO — else flatten/reduce.
- Session-end checklist run — venue confirm, receipt, keep/revoke, sleeve state.
- Sleeve emptied or parked for overnight/idle.
- Loss-day cool-down kept if the stop already fired.
- Overrides journaled if anything re-opens risk after the bell.
- Review enforces the gate in the official venue UI.
- Official paths only — no invented broker UI.

## FAQ

**What does no new risk after session end mean?**
When the written session clock ends (or you hit the time-box), stop opening new risk. Flat or hold only what overnight/GO already allows. Do not “one more trade” past the bell. Pair with session-time-box, log-session-end-checklist, empty-sleeve-overnight, no-overnight-margin-without-go, stop-adding-size-after-loss-day.

**Do I invent a session-end broker UI?**
No. Official venue positions/balances, your written time-box, and session-end checklist. Agent Lane does not invent UI or set your clock.

**Does this replace session time-box or empty-sleeve overnight?**
No. Session time-box is the clock; this page is the risk gate when that clock hits; empty-sleeve and no-overnight-margin-without-go govern cash/leverage after close. You need the stack.
