Every account on one screen. One button when it goes wrong.
Combined P&L across every connected account, per-account risk tiles, and a global kill switch on a system-wide hotkey.
The multi-account problem
Prop traders end up with four, seven, a dozen accounts across two or three firms. NinjaTrader will show you one at a time.
So you do not actually know how your day is going. You know how one account’s day is going, and you are doing the rest in your head, badly, while trading.
What Honbu does
Combined Day P&L. Every connected account added together, with total contracts, total balance, and the account count. This is the number that tells you whether today is going well, and it is the one NinjaTrader will not show you.
Per-account tiles. Position state, day P&L, open contracts, working orders, at a glance.
Product health. Whether each of your other TickSensei tools is running and when it last did something. If the guard you think is protecting you has gone quiet, this is where you find out.
The kill switch. Flattens every position on every connected account, or flattens and then disconnects. It cancels working orders before closing positions, and advances only on real confirmations from the account, never by assuming a command worked. Anything that fails gets a reason and a retry.
On a global hotkey. Ctrl+Shift+K by default, rebindable. Global means it fires even when
NinjaTrader is not the focused window, because when you decide you are done you might be in a
browser or a chat window.
The design decision worth knowing about
Flatten is license-independent. If your subscription lapses, if the network is down, if everything else has failed, going flat still works.
We will not lock a trader out of the exit. That is not a feature we are willing to ship.
Where it fits
Honbu is the human in the loop. It is deliberately alert-only: its risk bands colour the tiles, they do not enforce. Hard enforcement is Fudoshin’s job, automatic recovery is Ukemi’s, and Honbu is the one button you press yourself.
If you run more than two accounts, keep it open on a second monitor. The combined P&L number alone changes how you trade a bad day.
Flatten and kill-switch outcomes depend on your broker and platform accepting and confirming the orders; fills, slippage, gaps, and connectivity faults are outside our control and a flatten cannot be guaranteed.
