Trade Lock connects to Tradovate and automatically cancels new orders the instant your own risk rules are triggered — with analytics, a free trade journal, and an AI coach built in.
Trade Lock connects directly to your trading platform to enforce your rules in real time.
Trading on a funded account? Trade Lock enforces your rules no matter which firm is behind it.
You already know your rules. The problem was never the strategy — it's what happens in the fifteen seconds after a loss.
A loss triggers an immediate re-entry, oversized and unplanned, trying to win back what's gone in a single trade.
Ten setups a day feels productive. It's usually just ten chances to give the edge back to the market.
The limit exists on paper. In the moment, "just one more" always feels justified — until the account confirms it wasn't.
A green day turns red because there was no rule forcing you to stop once the target was already hit.
You wrote the rules while calm. You broke them while emotional. That gap is where accounts get blown.
Discipline isn't a personality trait.
It's infrastructure.
You define the boundaries once, while you're thinking clearly. Trade Lock holds the line every time after.
Choose the limits that matter to you — daily loss, trade count, consecutive losses, session windows.
Authenticate securely with OAuth in under a minute. No passwords ever touch our servers.
Keep using Tradovate exactly as you do today. Trade Lock runs quietly in the background.
Every fill, every P&L swing, every rule threshold is monitored in real time.
The instant a limit is crossed, the breaker trips — no manual intervention needed.
New orders are cancelled before execution. The day is over — not by willpower, by design.
Order blocking is the guardrail. Everything else is how you stop needing it.
Arm the limits that matter and let Trade Lock enforce them at the API level — before an order ever fills.
Every trade broken down by session, setup, and instrument — so patterns stop hiding in the noise.
Every trade logged automatically the moment it closes. No spreadsheets, no manual entry, no excuses.
Detects recurring mistakes and emotional patterns, then tells you exactly what to fix — in plain language.
Blocking bad trades is the guardrail. Understanding why they happened is how you stop needing the guardrail. Trade Lock breaks your performance down by session, setup, and instrument — so patterns stop hiding in the noise.
Free. Forever.
Every closed trade is logged automatically — entry, exit, P&L, and execution details — with space to add your setup, confluences, trade thesis, emotions, screenshots, notes. No spreadsheets. No "I'll journal it later." It's free, forever, because traders who consistently review their trades consistently improve.
Trade Lock's AI Coach analyzes your behavior across every session — surfacing emotional patterns, recurring mistakes, and the specific conditions where you trade best. The goal isn't a stop button. It's a trader who eventually doesn't need one.
Authenticate securely through OAuth — Trade Lock never sees your password.
Arm the risk limits that match how you actually want to trade.
Keep trading in Tradovate exactly as you always have.
When a rule trips, new orders are cancelled automatically. No exceptions, no negotiating with yourself.

Why I Built Trade Lock
I spent years knowing exactly what I should do as a trader — but still breaking my own rules. Overtrading, revenge trading, and giving back profits became a cycle. I built Trade Lock to protect myself from those mistakes.
I didn't lose because I lacked a strategy. I lost because I kept breaking my own rules—overtrading, revenge trading, and taking "just one more" trade. That's why I built Trade Lock: the tool I wish existed when I started.
