About

EmotionLock

Read full description

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).

About

Sacred Bot

Features
Read full description

Monitor and control the Sacred Bot trading engine you host. Review positions, orders, signals, risk, and engine activity from your phone, with paper trading as the default mode. WHAT IT DOES • Live dashboard: account equity, cash, buying power, and daily P/L at a glance. • Positions & orders: see open positions, average price, and live profit/loss. • Signals: review every BUY / EXIT / IGNORE decision with the full confirmation checklist (trend, VWAP, RSI, MACD, volume, higher-timeframe) and a confidence score. • Risk & performance: exposure, daily-loss limit, win rate, profit factor, expectancy, and average winner/loser — visualized with charts. • Controls: start/stop the engine, run a scan, switch to paper, or flatten all positions — from your phone. • Activity log: a searchable timeline of what the engine did and why. SAFETY FIRST • Paper trading is the default. Live trading is only possible when YOUR backend is configured for it AND you confirm on-device with Face ID / Touch ID. The app never enables live trading on its own. • Your API token is stored in the iOS Keychain. The app collects no personal data and includes no tracking or ads. EXPLORE THE DEMO No backend yet? Tap "Explore Demo" on the first screen to browse a fully populated dashboard with sample data — no account or server required. REQUIREMENTS Sacred Bot connects to a Sacred Bot backend that you host, which in turn uses your own brokerage account (e.g. Alpaca). The app is a control surface for that system; it is single-user and not a brokerage, advisor, or signal-selling service. IMPORTANT Sacred Bot is a tool for operating your own automated trading setup. It is not financial advice and does not guarantee any outcome. Trading stocks involves the risk of loss, including loss of principal. Simulated backtest results are hypothetical and do not predict future performance. You are responsible for your own trading decisions and for complying with the terms of your brokerage.
