The Problem
After a loss, urgency spikes. You need to make it back. You enter before the setup appears. That trade is worse than the first. The spiral has started.
You recognize it happening. And you trade anyway. The gap between knowing you're tilting and stopping is where accounts get damaged. Awareness without enforcement is just watching yourself fail.
You set a max loss. You remembered it when you crossed it — and kept trading. A rule you can ignore under pressure isn't a rule. It's a suggestion. Suggestions don't protect capital.
Tuesday's frustration bleeds into Wednesday's sizing. One blown session changes your risk behavior for days. The damage isn't just financial — it erodes discipline patterns you spent months building.
What Anchor Enforces
Enforcement
When a trigger fires, access is removed immediately. A full-screen overlay appears with a countdown timer. You cannot rush it. You cannot dismiss it. The timer runs regardless of how fast you complete the journal.
Lockout
Hard Lock removes all chart access until the next session — no exceptions. Discipline Mode permits paper trading but enforces an accountability overlay if live trading is attempted while locked. Both modes are non-negotiable once triggered.
Reflection
Three required sections before access returns: Execution Check, State Check, Professional Alignment. Not optional. Not skippable. A required re-entry gate to re-engage rational thinking before you trade again.
Detection
Detects realized P&L changes as trades close by reading TradingView's trading panel directly. No broker API. No external data transmission. Reads what's already visible on your screen — nothing more.
Overtrading
Counts trades within a rolling time window. Exceed the threshold — say, 5 trades in 10 minutes — and Anchor triggers a cooldown regardless of P&L. Catches the spiral before your decision quality degrades.
Training
Paper accounts still receive cooldown overlays and journal protocols when triggers fire. Discipline is always active — not just when real capital is at stake. Build the habits in simulation before they matter live.
Analytics
Daily P&L calendar, journal history, weekly coaching-tone reviews. Tracks win rate, setup adherence, emotional patterns, and trigger frequency. Surfaces behavior trends before they become terminal.
The Sequence
Download from the Chrome Web Store. Select your enforcement mode and set your trigger thresholds — consecutive losses, daily max, overtrading window. Done in under two minutes.
Anchor watches your TradingView trading panel in the background. No interference during disciplined execution. Surveillance is passive until a threshold is crossed.
Hit your trigger? Overlay appears immediately. Chart access removed. Timer starts. Journal required. No override. No dismiss button. No negotiation.
Finish the journal. Wait for cooldown. Access returns automatically. You re-enter with deliberate intent, not emotional urgency — which is the entire point.

Common Questions
No. Anchor has zero access to your broker. It monitors visible P&L changes in TradingView's trading panel via DOM observation — reading what's already on your screen. No broker credentials, no API keys, no account access, no trade execution. It enforces behavioral discipline only.
Yes. All trading data — your P&L, journals, and behavior patterns — is stored locally in your browser (chrome.storage.local) and never leaves your device. The only external transmission is your license key, sent to our server to verify your subscription status.
No. That's the entire point. If you could disable it when inconvenient, it would be useless. The cooldown is non-negotiable. The overlay blocks access. The timer runs regardless of journal completion speed. This is behavioral containment, not a suggestion system.
Yes, if your prop firm uses TradingView for execution. Anchor monitors TradingView's trading panel regardless of the broker or funding source behind it. It's particularly useful for funded traders who need to protect their evaluation or funded account from tilt-driven drawdowns.
Yes. Cancel during the trial and you owe nothing. Cancel after the trial ends and billing stops at the end of your current billing cycle. No penalties, no retention flows.
Yes. A payment method is required to start the trial. You won't be charged anything if you cancel before the 14 days are up. After the trial, billing begins automatically at $20/mo.
Hard Lock removes all chart access entirely until the next trading session — no exceptions. Discipline Mode removes live chart access but allows paper trading as a behavioral outlet, with an accountability overlay if you attempt to re-enter live trading while locked. Both modes enforce cooldown and journal protocols when triggered. You choose during setup.
Yes. Paper trading accounts still receive cooldown overlays and journal protocols when consecutive loss triggers fire. The daily max loss hard lock applies to live accounts only — paper trading is monitored for behavioral training, not capital enforcement. You should build disciplined habits in simulation before they matter in live accounts.
Overtrading detection counts how many trades you've placed within a rolling time window. If you exceed the threshold — for example, 5 trades within 10 minutes — Anchor triggers a cooldown regardless of whether individual trades were profitable or losing. Overtrading is a behavioral pattern, not just a P&L problem.
Currently TradingView only. TradingView is the dominant platform for retail futures traders. Platform adapters for NinjaTrader, ThinkOrSwim, and others are on the roadmap but not yet available.
No. This is for traders who already have a strategy, understand risk management, and know their psychology is the bottleneck. If you're still learning setups or don't have defined rules, Anchor is premature. If you have an edge but struggle with discipline under pressure, this is exactly what you need.
No. Anchor stops behavior that destroys capital. It does not create trading edges. If you lack a profitable strategy, Anchor will just help you lose more slowly. If you have a strategy but struggle with execution discipline, Anchor removes the gap between your rules and your results.
