Survival-First · PRO and up

Stay in the water
long enough to get good.

Survival Mode, the tilt cooldown and the AutoPilots' risk gate are limits you set. When one is reached, new entries pause so a rough day cannot spiral. Exits stay open.

A guardrail you choose, not a guarantee.

Survival Mode · PRO and up · opt-in

Set the floor before you look for the peak.

Survival Mode is off until you turn it on. You choose a daily loss limit, and a tilt threshold for futures accounts. When today's P&L reaches the limit, new entries pause for the rest of the session. Exits are never blocked, so you can still close or reduce a position. Disarm it any time.

A guardrail you choose, not a guarantee. It attaches to supported accounts.

  • Today's P&L (illustration)
  • Your daily loss limit
  • New entries pause
  1. You set the limit

    A daily loss limit in dollars. On futures accounts, also a tilt threshold from 0 to 100 (75 by default).

  2. New entries pause

    Live stock orders, the Stock AutoPilot and the Futures AutoPilot stop opening positions once today's P&L reaches your limit.

  3. Exits stay open

    Closing or reducing is never blocked. If your position can't be read, nothing is blocked.

How Survival Mode works, in three steps. An illustration, not account data.

Tilt cooldown · Futures AutoPilot · ENTERPRISE

Step back before a streak becomes a spiral.

With Survival Mode on, the Futures AutoPilot reads a tilt score from your broker's own data: losing trades in a row, how fast entries are coming and how long since the last loss. When the AutoPilot is armed and the score reaches your threshold (75 out of 100 by default), a cooldown starts: new entries pause for 30 minutes, or 60 when it runs very hot. Open positions keep their stops, and the trade copier opens no new copies meanwhile.

A cooldown is a pause, not a verdict: it ends by itself and exits stay open.

Enter your account size, win rate, average win over average loss and risk per trade. The calculator estimates your risk of ruin and a survival size, in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere. In the app, the Pre-trade Coach (PRO and up) can suggest a survival-sized quantity before an oversized order.

A model estimate, not a forecast: a lever for choosing a size you can live with.

Prop accounts · Futures AutoPilot · ENTERPRISE

Keep inside your firm's rules.

On a prop account, the Futures AutoPilot checks the account's own numbers, read from the broker, before every entry. Pick your firm and plan in the guided setup and the guardrails are pre-filled from that plan's rulebook: 12 firms, 200+ plans. Firms change their rules, so confirm yours with your firm.

Automated trading can lose money; past results don't predict future results.

The guardrails stop new entries. They do not promise you will pass or keep an account.

The guardrails, one by one

  • Trailing-drawdown breaker

    Reads how much of your allowed loss is used, straight from the broker, and stops new entries at the percentage you set.

    Set it below your firm's limit and the AutoPilot stops before the firm has to.

  • Daily loss limit

    Stops new entries once the session's P&L is down to the limit you set. If the broker's P&L can't be read, new entries wait instead of guessing.

    When it can't verify the number, it holds.

  • Eval-pass lock

    When an evaluation account reaches its profit target, the account locks and the AutoPilot places no new entries on it.

    A passed account is not put back at risk by the AutoPilot.

  • Consistency cap

    Set a daily cap from your firm's consistency rule and new entries stop for the day once that day's P&L reaches it.

    One big day cannot quietly break your firm's rule.

  • Flat before the close

    The AutoPilot stops opening positions before the session ends and flattens ahead of the close. The defaults are 4:45 pm and 4:55 pm New York time, and you can change them.

    By default, the trading day ends flat.

  • Guided setup for 12 firms

    Pick your firm and plan; the daily loss limit, trailing drawdown and contract caps arrive pre-filled from that plan's rulebook. 200+ plans.

    Firms change their rules, so confirm yours with your firm.

AutoPilots · ENTERPRISE

Every entry asks the gate first.

Before an AutoPilot places an entry, the order passes a risk gate: kill switch, trading windows, daily loss and drawdown limits, position caps and, with Survival Mode on, the daily-loss floor and the tilt cooldown. If the gate says no, the decision is logged with its reason.

AutoPilots are an ENTERPRISE feature. Trading involves risk; an AutoPilot acts only within the limits you configure. Not investment advice.

  • Tiltmeter · Trade Journal

    The Tiltmeter: a check-in you keep for yourself.

    In your daily journal entry, rate your emotional state, energy, focus and confidence from 1 to 5. The entries sit beside your trades, so patterns show early.

    It is a log, not a gate: nothing you write there blocks an order.

  • Survival sidebar · PRO and up

    The Days-Alive badge

    The Survival sidebar counts your days alive (the trading days in your journal) and your best win streak, and lets you copy a link to a badge with your Survival Score, grade, days alive and best win streak. It shows no dollar amounts. The link is public, and you choose whether to share it.

    A badge for staying in the game, not for how much you made.
