What you see, step by step
Set your daily trade limit
Pick how many trades you allow yourself per day, while you are calm. That number becomes the rule, not a suggestion.
Allow Screen Time and pick MT5
Give EmotionLock Screen Time permission and choose MetaTrader 5 as the app to lock. This is the same iOS system Apple uses for parental controls.
Connect MT5 read-only
Connect your account with your investor password. It is read-only at the MT5 protocol level, so EmotionLock can never place or close a trade. Your 4 free days start here.
Trade, and the lock holds
Every closed trade is counted in real time. Hit your limit and MT5 locks on your iPhone for the rest of the day. Tomorrow you start a new trading day. Two emergency tokens per week give you one extra trade each for a real exception.
