FAQ
Lock rule builder FAQ
What should trigger a trading lock?
A trading lock should trigger only after serious or repeated discipline pressure such as high-risk alerts, daily limit breaches, revenge-trading behavior, or repeated rule breaks.
Should a cooldown happen before a lock?
Often yes. A cooldown is appropriate for moderate drift, while a lock is better for repeated or high-risk behavior that should stop the session.
Can traders change lock rules mid-session?
Changing lock rules mid-session can weaken discipline. Safer workflows define rules before the session and review changes afterward.

How to stop revenge trading before the next trade
Revenge trading happens when a trader enters another financial-market trade mainly to recover a recent loss instead of following a valid setup. The clearest warning signs are emotional urgency, rapid re-entry, increased size, forced setups, and rule bending. A practical response is to require a predefined cooldown, review the prior execution, and apply a hard stop condition before another trade is considered.
Trader Behavior Cooldowns
Trading cooldown rules for financial traders after losses or rule drift
A trading cooldown rule is a predefined pause used by a financial trader after a behavior trigger such as repeated losses, revenge-trading pressure, rapid re-entry, excessive alerts, emotional urgency, or a broken session rule. It is not a video-game item cooldown or a market prediction. Its purpose is to interrupt impulsive execution long enough for the trader to review what happened before considering another trade.
Lock Rules
What is a trading lock rule?
A trading lock rule is a hard stop condition that disables or blocks further trading activity after a serious threshold is reached, such as repeated high-risk alerts, daily loss limits, or severe rule-breaking.
Risk Control
What is a daily loss limit?
A daily loss limit is a predefined maximum loss for a trading day. Once reached, it should trigger a stop, cooldown, or lock condition so the trader cannot keep escalating to recover the session.
