First 1,000 traders get GuardMyTrade free for life Claim your spot →

I lost more than $500,000 revenge trading. So I built the app that enforces my rules.

Even Robinhood. Even Webull. The second you break your own rule, GuardMyTrade locks you out — the lock you set when you're calm, that you can't undo when you're not.

I didn't have a Robinhood problem, or a Webull problem. I had a problem that followed me to every broker I opened — plus more blown prop-firm accounts than I can count. No single broker could stop me. That's why GuardMyTrade protects me across supported connections.

In my own words

The full story — how I lost it, and what I built.

Why willpower never worked

It was never a discipline problem.

I'm a software engineer, not a degenerate. I read the books. I journaled. I set rules. I watched every trading-psychology video on YouTube. None of it held.

When you're deep in a loss, your body treats it as a physical threat. Cortisol floods in, the thinking part of your brain goes quiet, and you fight back — you double down, you revenge trade, you try to make it back. Being "disciplined" in that moment is like doing math while a tiger is chasing you. That part of your brain isn't even home.

You don't need more willpower. You need the option removed before the urge hits.

The one thing nobody else does

Protect the accounts where tilt follows you.

GuardMyTrade supports 30 brokers today, including retail platforms where I did the damage. Each connection shows whether it can fully flatten and lock or monitor and block.

Break a rule → locked

Set your limits when you're calm. Cross one, and GuardMyTrade closes risk where authorized, then blocks new trades until the next session.

No one-tap undo

There's deliberately no quick off-switch. An AI coach talks you through the urge, and early releases are strictly limited. Tilted-you doesn't get a vote.

Every device

The lock follows you across desktop and phone. You can't just pick up the other screen and keep trading.

Why this didn't exist already

Your broker makes more when you trade more.

So none of the brokers I used would let me lock myself out at the exact moment I needed it most — because that's the moment I was most profitable to them. I checked the tools available to me. Nothing protected the accounts where I did the damage. So I built the thing I couldn't find.

A note from me

I released GuardMyTrade to the public because I know exactly what tilt does to a retail trader — I lived it, across more accounts than I'd like to admit. If I could hand it to you for free, I would.

But the broker connections, the AI insights, and the cloud infrastructure that keep the lock running around the clock all cost real money. So there's a small fee to keep it alive. I've kept it as low as I possibly can — just enough to cover the costs, nothing more. I never wanted to earn a cent from your worst days. I only want you to have fewer of them.

And the first 1,000 traders? You're the ones helping me get this off the ground — so you keep it free, for life.
