HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. One operating loop.

Set your rules before the open. Guardrail evaluates every trade in real time and locks the session when a limit is hit — so you don't have to.

01

Premarket

Set your trading plan

Daily loss limit, max trades, session hours, loss-streak stop. Set them once before the open. Guardrail holds them across every session.

02

Live

Trade with live rule monitoring

Every trade event is evaluated against your rules. You see Allowed, Warning, or Locked — before the damage compounds.

03

Locked

Session locks when a rule breaks

When a limit is hit, the session locks inside the app. You see which rule fired and when the reset window opens. Account-level monitoring today.

Session states

Allowed. Warning. Locked.

Every session moves through three states as trades accumulate against your rules.

Enforcement scope

What Guardrail does today. What’s coming.

We only ship broker-side enforcement after live verification with each integration. Until then, the lock is app-level.

Enforced today

  • App-level session lock when a rule breaks
  • Rule evaluation against live broker trade events
  • Telegram lockout alerts — optional, immediate
  • Broker-connected read-only mode — live trade events from Tradovate

Planned after broker verification

  • Cancel open orders on rule breach
  • Flatten positions on rule breach
  • Broker-side order blocking
  • Additional broker integrations

Broker-side actions require verified write-level permissions. We only ship them after live integration testing.
