Straight answers before a trader signs in.

SignalShield is trader discipline software built around guardrails, lock rules, cooldowns, execution journaling, TradingView alert workflows, and Shield Score review. It helps traders create structure for following rules when stress rises.

No. SignalShield does not place trades, connect to a broker for order execution, or make trading decisions for you. You remain responsible for every trade, order, and risk decision.

No. SignalShield is built for traders who already have rules, alerts, or a strategy. It adds structure around follow-through, cooldowns, locks, logging, and review.

No. SignalShield is not a trading bot, brokerage, signal seller, trade copier, or financial advice product. It is a guardrail and accountability layer.

No. SignalShield does not tell traders what to buy, what to sell, when to enter, or how much risk to take. It helps organize discipline records, guardrails, and review.

No. SignalShield does not promise trading results, funding outcomes, or perfect discipline. It helps traders review behavior and rule follow-through.

SignalShield uses TradingView webhook alerts as structured alert events. After setup, valid alerts can update system status and help trigger the right cooldown, caution, or lock response when risk behavior escalates.

A cooldown is a temporary pause after a defined risk event, escalation, loss pattern, or behavior threshold. It is meant to create space between pressure and the next decision.

A locked system is designed to interrupt normal live activity after specific risk thresholds are met. Logging can still preserve context, but normal operation does not resume until the allowed reset or recovery path applies.

SignalShield is built around alert-driven guardrails. Repeated risk conditions can move the system toward escalation, cooldown, or locked status depending on the configured plan and rules.

No. A TradingView alert is an event for the discipline workflow. Execution logging and journal evidence stay separate unless the trader records or links the execution through the product flow.

Discord can deliver status and guardrail notifications, such as cooldown, lock, review, or delivery-state updates. Discord delivery does not replace journal-write evidence.

The first valid alert verifies that TradingView and SignalShield are connected. The trader then logs the first execution to finish activation and begin the normal monitoring loop.

Yes. Journal is included on every SignalShield tier. It supports execution review, realized P/L context, emotional state tracking, impulse markers, and behavior review.

Journal-only logging means an execution entry is saved for review, but it does not count as a normal live execution. This usually happens when a system is locked, paused, disabled, or otherwise not active.

Not exactly. SignalShield includes journaling, but it is built for discipline first. The Journal keeps executions, behavior, emotion, notes, and P/L context tied to the system state around the decision.

Shield Score is a behavior-quality review layer. It helps summarize discipline conditions such as cooldown pressure, journal-only activity, escalated alerts, lock risk, emotional markers, and high impulse executions.

No. Shield Score is not a profit score. It explains discipline conditions and behavior risk around the trading process, while realized P/L remains separate performance context.

Start with Free if you want one starter discipline system, manual journal review, Shield Score Lite, cooldown practice, and lock preview before paid automation. Core is for one focused live system with fixed guardrails. Pro is for active traders managing several systems with adjustable thresholds and limited resets. Elite is for high-control workflows that need unlimited systems, full customization, advanced analytics, and unlimited resets.

Free includes one starter discipline system, manual journal review, Shield Score Lite, cooldown practice, and lock preview. Live TradingView workflows, Discord alerts, full cooldown and lock automation, multiple systems, and advanced analytics require a paid plan.

Shield Score Lite is the Free plan review surface. It helps a trader inspect journal evidence and discipline habits without presenting the deeper paid analytics experience or pretending there is enough evidence for a full score.

Paid plans unlock live TradingView workflows, Discord alerts, automated cooldown and lock handling, connected logs, full Alert Review, deeper insights, and expanded system capacity. Free remains focused on one manual discipline loop.

Beta remains limited invite access with Pro-style benefits while the cohort is active. It is not listed as a normal public pricing tier, but approved Beta invite paths can remain active for eligible early users.

Yes. The pricing structure is designed so a trader can begin with the level of control they need now and move to a higher-control plan as the workflow grows.

Locked-state recovery follows the allowed reset path for the current plan and system status. Core is intentionally stricter, while higher tiers add more reset flexibility.
