RiskBrake is a hard lock for your trading platform. Hit your daily loss limit and it locks you out until tomorrow. Reinstalling won't help, changing the clock won't help. That's the whole point.
New entries are locked until tomorrow, 08:30.
Open positions can still be closed at any time.
You already know the rules. RiskBrake is the thing that makes you keep them, even at 3pm on a red day.
Daily loss limit, max trades per day, cooldown after a losing streak. Configured when you're calm, not when you're tilted.
Limit hit → new entries blocked until the next session. The lock lives on our servers, so deleting or reinstalling the tool changes nothing.
The lock blocks only new entries. You can always reduce or close an open position. Your safety is never in your own way.
The unlock time is decided by our server, not your PC. Your Windows clock is irrelevant.
Delete the strategy or indicator while the market is open and the guardian locks you out of the trading platform for the rest of the day. Reinstalling just shows the lock again.
Closing and reducing positions is never blocked. Only opening new risk is.
Honest note: no tool can stop someone who fully removes it and trades raw, but the penalty lock outlasts the 5-minute tilt impulse it's built to beat. Account-level lockdown is on the roadmap for true hard-enforcement.
Server-side lock, daily loss limit, max trades, loss-streak cooldown. Clock-change proof, reinstall proof. The platform we trade ourselves.
The same protection for the biggest US futures platform, home turf of the prop-firm crowd.
The ultimate level: optional account-password custody. Locked means locked, on any device, any install. Plus a Windows companion that refuses uninstall while a lock is active.
Yes. The lock state and the unlock time live on our servers, not your machine. Reinstalling re-fetches the active lock; your system clock is ignored. And if you delete the strategy while the market is open, the guardian locks you out of the trading platform for the rest of the day.
Never. Only new entries are blocked. Closing or reducing an open position always works. That's a hard safety rule.
ATAS first (in development), NinjaTrader next, MT5 with account lockdown after that. Tell us what you trade on the waitlist.
No. RiskBrake is a self-discipline tool that enforces limits you set yourself. It gives no trading signals and no advice.
