Available now for ATAS·Free beta

You don't lose it trading.
You lose it on tilt.

RiskBrake is a hard lock for your trading platform. Hit your daily loss limit and it locks you out until tomorrow. No revenge trading, no overtrading, no talking yourself into one more trade. Reinstalling won't help, changing the clock won't help. That's the whole point.

A lock you can't talk yourself out of.

You already know the rules. RiskBrake is the trading discipline tool that makes you keep them, even at 3pm on a red day.

You set the rules once

Daily loss limit, max trades per day, cooldown after a losing streak. Configured when you're calm, not when you're tilted.

It enforces them, hard

Limit hit → new entries blocked until the next session. The lock lives on our servers, so deleting or reinstalling the tool changes nothing.

Closing is always allowed

The lock blocks only new entries. You can always reduce or close an open position. Your safety is never in your own way.

Why you can't cheat it.

  • Change the clock? Useless.

    The unlock time is decided by our server, not your PC. Your Windows clock is irrelevant.

  • Remove the strategy? Locked out.

    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.

  • Need out of a trade? Always.

    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.

What we're building

A server-side trading lock for ATAS, built deep instead of wide: every update makes the lock harder to cheat.

Account Lockdown

Planned

The ultimate level: optional account-password custody. Locked means locked, on any device, any install.

Questions, answered.

Can it really stop me if I reinstall or change the clock?

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, but never while a position is open, so you are always the one who closes it.

How does RiskBrake stop revenge trading and overtrading?

After a losing streak it forces a cooldown, and when you hit your daily loss limit or max trades per day it locks new entries until the next session. The revenge trade you would take in the heat of the moment simply cannot be opened. By the next day, the tilt is gone and you trade with a clear head.

Does it work for prop firm challenges and funded accounts?

That is exactly who it is built for. One tilt session can blow a challenge or cost a $150-300 reset. RiskBrake enforces your own daily loss limit before you breach the firm's rules, keeping your funded account alive.

Could the lock trap me in a losing position?

Never. Only new entries are blocked. Closing or reducing an open position always works, and the trading platform is never closed while a position is open. Both are hard safety rules, checked automatically on every build.

Which platforms are supported?

ATAS is available now. Our focus is making the ATAS lock perfect before we add more platforms.

About me

I've been trading for 7 years, and I built RiskBrake to get you through the hard moments. I know exactly what matters here. You won't slip past RiskBrake in the moment that counts, because I built in every safeguard I use myself.

I know how brutal the tilt is after a dumb stop-out, and how hard the emotions hit right then. Believe me: in that moment, almost nothing can save you but RiskBrake.

You get a lot of control here. The ultimate one is the full lockout until the next day. Because I know it from my own screen: the next day your head is clear again and you can think straight.

Is this financial advice?

No. RiskBrake is a self-discipline tool that enforces limits you set yourself. It gives no trading signals and no advice.
