LossLock is the discipline operating system for prop firm traders. Set your daily loss limit — your prop firm's rule, or a stricter personal limit. When you log a trade that crosses it, LossLock blocks the distraction apps that fuel revenge trading — Instagram, TikTok, X, Reddit — until your next trading session. You can't talk yourself out of it. You can't tap "ignore." You're physically locked out of the apps that destroy discipline. Built by a prop firm trader who blew evaluations to revenge trading. LossLock requires a paid auto-renewing subscription. Choose Starter or Pro: STARTER ($29/mo · $228/yr) INCLUDES: - Lockouts that block distraction apps when you cross your daily loss limit - App blocking via Apple Family Controls (you choose which apps) - Trade journaling with emotional tagging (9 emotions) - Discipline score and daily checklist - Weekly analytics and streak tracking PRO ($59/mo · $468/yr, 14-day free trial) INCLUDES EVERYTHING IN STARTER, PLUS: - AI Mentor — personalized discipline analysis of your logged trades - Weekly AI reports on trading patterns and emotional triggers - Emotional impact dashboard - Goal alignment tracking - Edge leak detection LossLock is built for traders who know discipline is the only edge — and who need help keeping it under pressure. WHO IT'S FOR: - Prop firm evaluators - Funded traders managing live capital - Anyone tired of revenge trading wiping their account Optionally pairs with our macOS companion app, which detects your P&L automatically and triggers the same lockout — but the iPhone app works fully on its own.

Stop trading on impulse. Start trading on your own rules. MonkTrader is a discipline enforcement app built specifically for traders — using Apple's real Screen Time technology to put a deliberate pause between you and the trade you'll regret. HOW IT WORKS Set your own trading rules: max trades per day, daily or weekly loss limits, cooldowns after a loss, and your actual trading hours. MonkTrader enforces them — not with a reminder, but with a real, OS-level lock on your trading app itself. Every time you open your trading app, MonkTrader asks one honest question: did you close a trade? Win or loss? That's it. No broker connection required, no account linking — just you, being honest with yourself, every time. If you've broken a rule, you get three choices, always: - Stay Disciplined — hold the line - Delay Decision — give yourself a pause before deciding - Continue Anyway — override it, no judgment, fully logged MonkTrader is a friction layer, not a cage. You are always in control of your own device. Nothing is ever permanently locked. BUILT FOR TRADERS, NOT AGAINST THEM - Real Screen Time enforcement, not just notifications - A rule engine you fully control — set it your way - A discipline streak and score that reflect your actual behavior over time - A private, on-device activity log — no broker required - Fully overridable, always — MonkTrader supports your discipline, it doesn't punish you PRIVACY FIRST No login. No account. No data sent anywhere. MonkTrader runs entirely on your device — your trading habits stay yours. Set your rules. Build your streak. Trade like the trader you actually want to be.
