2. Allow the user to specify a stop loss amount.

I loved your other ideas, but ARE YOU INSANE?

OK what usually happens when an account is hacked/broken into/whatever?

1. The unauthorized user chip-dumps to his own account, so he can withdraw.

2. The unauthorized user uses the player transfer option.

3. The unauthorized user jumps into the highest stakes games that he can buy into, and proceeds to just dump off the cash through awful play.

In case #1 and #2, FTP can, after an investigation, recover the funds. In #3, from what I have heard FTP can't (i.e. won't) do a thing. A feature that would prevent this to some extent would be a stop loss that prevents the account from losing x amount of money for a day.

Most people (even fish) set their own personal stop loss, so basically what this would do is prevent people with a gambling problem from losing too much money (in a day), and prevent hackers from dumping off too much money.
