74–89% of retail traders lose money. Not because they lack a strategy — because they can't stick to one.
You take a loss. Instead of walking away, you double down to "make it back." Now you're down twice as much.
Your plan says 3 trades max. But the market keeps moving, and you keep clicking. By EOD you've made 14 trades.
Three losers in a row. You know you should stop. But the next setup "looks perfect." It isn't. It never is.
Animated stories about revenge trading, overtrading and the emotional decisions that turn an ordinary loss into a dangerous one.
Built by traders who blew accounts before building this.
Set a dollar amount you're willing to lose per day. Hit the limit, and your account locks.
Cap your total round-trip trades. Prevents the "one more trade" spiral that kills accounts.
Mandatory pause after any losing trade. Long enough for the emotion to pass.
Only trade during your best hours. Block pre-market impulse trades and end-of-day revenge sessions.
Lock in your gains. Hit your target? Account locks for the day. Stop giving back winners.
Survives app closure, restarts, and "creative" workarounds. No one-tap unlock — an AI coach talks you through the urge, and early releases are strictly limited for the life of your account.
Test discipline rules or a prop challenge on your broker-synced past trades. Compare what happened with an honest estimate of what may have changed.
After 25 completed trades, Insights analyzes your real history for repeat habits, discipline trends, and rule ideas supported by the available evidence.
Choose the accounts each rule protects and decide whether GuardMyTrade waits until you are flat or closes risk first where your broker allows it.
GuardMyTrade monitors your positions, P&L, and trade count in real time. The moment a rule triggers, the protection process starts. The app shows whether it is waiting, applying, or verified so you always know what is protecting your account.
When a rule is crossed, the protection process starts. The recommended action waits until you are flat; where supported, closing risk happens only when you explicitly authorize it. For Tradovate, Blocked appears only after the hard restriction is verified.
Win-rate and P&L charts tell you what happened — they don't help you change. GuardMyTrade scores your process instead: a discipline score out of 100, built from five separately-scored pillars — rules held, behavior after a loss, sizing, exits and pacing — plus a running ledger of what every lapse actually cost you, in dollars.
Futures, forex, stocks, options and crypto — 30 supported brokers today. Trade-capable connections can flatten and lock; read-only connections monitor and block new trades once you're flat.

KrakenThree steps. No willpower required.
Daily loss limit, max trades, cooldown after losses, trading hours. Your rules, your limits.
GuardMyTrade runs silently in the background. A small shield icon in your system tray shows your status.
Cross a rule? Protection starts immediately. New exposure is blocked after the required broker checks, while charts and closing trades remain available.
If you have a plan but can't always follow it under pressure, GuardMyTrade is the guardrail.
Fast markets, real leverage. One tilt session can erase a good week — hard limits stop it before it starts.
Test a firm's challenge terms on your past trades, then protect the exact accounts and limits you choose. Historical estimates never guarantee a pass.
Coming back from a drawdown? Lock in the habits that protect your account while you find your rhythm again.
You connect through your broker's own login or a revocable token, so GuardMyTrade never sees your password. It cannot withdraw or transfer funds. Where you grant trade permission, it may cancel orders and close positions only to enforce a rule you set—it never opens a position for you.
