EmotionLock helps traders stop overtrading by enforcing their own daily trade limits, automatically. Set your maximum number of trades per day. When you hit that limit, EmotionLock locks your trading apps via Screen Time until midnight. No workarounds. No exceptions, unless you choose to use one of your limited emergency tokens. FEATURES - Set a daily trade limit (1-10 trades) - Automatic app blocking when limit is reached - Choose exactly which apps to block - Connect your MT5 account (read-only) to track trades automatically - Emergency tokens for genuine exceptions, limited to 2 per week - Discipline stats dashboard: streaks, weekly score, history - Supports 5 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese WHY EMOTIONLOCK Most trading losses don't come from bad strategy. They come from overtrading after a loss, revenge trading, or simply not sticking to your own rules. EmotionLock removes the option to break your rules. Your future self will thank you. Full access requires a one-time MT5 license (€49.99) and a monthly subscription (€9.99/month, with a 1-month free trial included).
