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 (โ‚ฌ49.99) and a monthly subscription (โ‚ฌ9.99/month, with a 1-month free trial included).

About

MetaTrade Locker

Features
Read full description

MetaTrade Locker helps MetaTrader 5 traders protect their daily discipline. Connect your MT5 account through the Expert Advisor, define your loss or profit limits, then follow your status from the iPhone app. When a rule is triggered, MetaTrade Locker can lock access to MetaTrader 5 on iPhone using Apple's Screen Time and Family Controls technologies. Built for beginners and more experienced traders, MetaTrade Locker keeps the rules clear: - loss and profit target limits per account; - multiple MT5 account tracking; - automatically synchronized trading journal; - time-based blocking to avoid impulsive sessions; - account-level or global settings; - web dashboard and MT5 installer connection. MetaTrade Locker does not place trades, does not promise financial results, and does not replace broker-side protections. The app helps create a discipline guardrail between your plan and your impulses. Important: the full setup requires a MetaTrade Locker account, MetaTrader 5, and the MetaTrade Locker Expert Advisor installed on a computer.
