Applied Research Trade Shield

Trade Shield / the research, applied.

A system built on the patterns documented elsewhere on this site. It monitors account behavior in real time and intervenes when behavioral signals match the patterns associated with account loss.

RULE / 01

Daily loss lock

When realized losses for the day hit a threshold, the account is locked. The single most reliable defense against revenge trading.

RULE / 02

Goal lock

Once a daily target is reached, further trading is blocked until the next session. Stops the give-back spiral that ends most green days.

RULE / 03

Tilt detection

Detects deviation from baseline — frequency spikes, hold-time collapse, size drift. Triggers warnings or auto-lock based on settings.

RULE / 04

Overtrade detection

Caps trade count per session. Disrupts the "one more trade" loop that compounds drawdowns.

RULE / 05

Risk cap

Hard limit on position size and risk per trade. Removes the option to size up after losses or wins.

A note on what this is not.

Trade Shield is not a strategy, a signal service, or a guarantee. It does not provide trade ideas, predict markets, or remove trading risk. It is a discipline tool — a layer between your execution and your account that enforces rules you've already decided on.

Whether the rules it enforces help you depends entirely on whether you have a profitable system to begin with. Trade Shield protects an edge; it does not create one.
