You'll never break
your own rules again.

It sits between TradingView and your broker. Every order you place is checked against the trading rules you set — daily loss limit, number of trades, cooldown after a trade, trading hours and more — and an order that breaks a rule is blocked before it reaches your broker.

Yes. There is no subscription, no account to create and no credit card.

What sets it apart, from the biggest difference to the smallest:

1. Everything runs on your computer. No account, no MyTradingGuard server: your rules, orders, positions and balances never leave your device. Only anonymous usage statistics and error reports are sent, and you can turn them off.
2. Free. No subscription, no paid tier, no credit card.
3. Rules others don’t have. 13 rules, including an automatic block around high-impact news, blocked days (holidays, CPI, NFP, FOMC), a trailing drawdown from the day’s peak, consistency and no averaging down.
4. Your prop firm’s rules in one click. Presets for 27 prop firms, by account and stage.
5. A desktop app for macOS. TradingView Desktop on a Mac is protected too, with a native app — not only TradingView in the browser.
6. It stops the order, not the platform. Many tools lock the whole trading site or cover the chart once a limit is hit, which also stops you from closing a trade. MyTradingGuard blocks only the order that breaks a rule.
7. Exits always go through. Orders that close or reduce a position, stops and changes to existing orders are never blocked — even if something goes wrong inside MyTradingGuard itself.
8. A triggered rule stays triggered. No “emergency unlock” that switches the protection off at the very moment you need it: a rule that fired cannot be loosened until it lifts (on TradingView Paper Trading you stay free to change it).
9. More platforms. TradingView with Tradovate, Interactive Brokers, Paper Trading and other brokers, plus Hyperprop, cTrader, DXtrade and Bybit.
10. Try your rules. Check what would happen to an order before you place it.
11. Discipline Streak. Your clean trading days in a row and the tier they reach, shown on the dashboard and ready to share.
12. 28 languages.

TradingView in the browser, with the Chrome extension (Google Chrome 120 or later; it also works on Edge, Brave and Opera). The web trading platforms Hyperprop, cTrader, DXtrade and Bybit, with the same Chrome extension: choose yours in its Settings → Platform. TradingView Desktop on a Mac, with the macOS app (macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple Silicon).

Tradovate and Interactive Brokers are fully supported on both Chrome and macOS. On both, MyTradingGuard also protects the other brokers that connect to TradingView through its standard broker API, and TradingView’s own Paper Trading: you can try your rules on simulated orders before trading real money.

Yes. Choose Use my prop firm’s rules in the setup wizard or in Settings, then your firm, account and stage: MyTradingGuard turns on the rules it can enforce for you — trading hours, daily loss limit, consistency, news — with your firm’s figures, and you can change any of them afterwards.

No. Orders that close or reduce an open position are never blocked, and stop, stop-limit and trailing-stop orders and changes to existing orders are always allowed — you can always protect or exit a trade.

At 18:00 New York time (ET), the CME Globex session boundary — the trading day most futures traders and prop firms use.

No. A rule that has been triggered cannot be loosened until the next session — that is what keeps the discipline. Stop for Today works the same way. The exception is TradingView Paper Trading: with practice money you can change or switch off the rule that blocked and keep practising.

No. Your rules and trading data stay on your device; nothing is sent to MyTradingGuard servers. Anonymous usage statistics (for example "an order was blocked") can be turned off in Settings.
