TradeUniv Lock

# TradeUniv Lock - Trading Discipline & Self-Control Tool Stop emotional overtrading and revenge trading with TradeUniv Lock, a powerful browser extension designed specifically for day traders who need enforced breaks and discipline controls. ## Why TradeUniv Lock? Every trader knows the feeling: you've hit your stop loss, emotions are running high, and you're tempted to jump back into the market immediately. This is when the most costly mistakes happen. TradeUniv Lock gives you the power to enforce cooling-off periods, preventing impulsive decisions that can wipe out your account. Whether you're struggling with overtrading, revenge trading, or simply need to respect your trading plan, TradeUniv Lock acts as your personal trading guardian—blocking access to trading platforms when you need a break most. ## Core Features ### 🔒 Quick Lock Options Instantly block access to trading sites with one click: - **30 Minutes**: Perfect for quick breaks after a losing trade - **1 Hour**: Ideal for lunch breaks and mid-day cooldowns - **2 Hours**: Extended break to clear your mind and reset - **Lock Until Market Close**: Automatically unlock at 4:00 PM Eastern Time when markets close When locked, trading sites are completely blocked with a full-screen overlay showing your remaining lock time and unlock schedule. No way to bypass it accidentally—giving you the mental space you need. ### ⏰ Scheduled Locks Set up automatic locks at specific times every day: - Schedule a lock at 11:00 AM to prevent pre-lunch overtrading - Auto-lock at 3:30 PM to avoid end-of-day desperation trades - Create multiple schedules for different trading patterns - Enable/disable schedules without deleting them - Perfect for enforcing your trading plan's time limits Example: Many successful traders limit themselves to trading only the first two hours after market open. Set a scheduled lock for 11:30 AM, and TradeUniv Lock ensures you stick to this rule every single day. ### 📊 Daily Trade Limit Enforcement Set a maximum number of trades per day and let the extension enforce it automatically: - Choose your daily trade limit (e.g., 3 trades, 5 trades, 10 trades) - Extension monitors your trading activity - Automatically locks all trading sites when you hit your limit - Lock remains active until market close - Reset happens automatically each trading day - View your current trade count in the extension popup This feature is crucial for traders who tend to overtrade. Studies show that most day traders perform worse as they take more trades in a single day. Set your limit based on your trading plan and let TradeUniv Lock be your accountability partner. ### 🌐 Configurable Sites Works with popular trading platforms out of the box, plus any custom sites you add: **Default Blocked Sites:** - TradingView (tradingview.com) - Tradovate (tradovate.com) **Add Your Own:** - TD Ameritrade's thinkorswim web platform - Interactive Brokers - E*TRADE - Robinhood - Any other trading platform you use Simply enter the domain name (e.g., "robinhood.com") and it's added to your blocked sites list.
