> Users can set a dollar limit for each trade, cap trading over 24 hours and pause an agent after a selected portfolio loss threshold is crossed.

Coinbase introduced new controls for AI agent trading on Nov. 11, giving users limits on individual trades and daily volume and a way to halt trading after portfolio losses cross a set threshold.

As part of Coinbase for Agents, the controls let users set a maximum dollar amount for each trade and cap total trading over 24 hours. The Auto-stop feature pauses an agent when the portfolio falls by more than the percentage selected by the user.

Trading remains paused until the user turns it back on in the Coinbase app. The controls run on Coinbase’s servers, where an agent cannot change them on its own. Options to restrict which product categories an agent can trade are listed as coming soon.
