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.
Daily loss lock
When realized losses for the day hit a threshold, the account is locked. The single most reliable defense against revenge trading.
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.
Tilt detection
Detects deviation from baseline — frequency spikes, hold-time collapse, size drift. Triggers warnings or auto-lock based on settings.
Overtrade detection
Caps trade count per session. Disrupts the "one more trade" loop that compounds drawdowns.
Risk cap
Hard limit on position size and risk per trade. Removes the option to size up after losses or wins.
Pattern → Rule
Each rule maps to a documented failure pattern.
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.
