Tilt Guard is a NinjaTrader 8 add-on built for futures traders who know their rules but break them anyway when emotions take over.

Set your daily loss limit, profit target, and max trades — and Tilt Guard enforces them automatically. The moment you hit a limit, it locks you out. No overrides, no "just one more," no negotiating with yourself.

It's not a strategy. It's protection from yourself in the moments that cost you most — the revenge trade after a loss, the green day you hand back, the rules you loosen when you're tilting.

Why I built it

I created Tilt Guard after losing too many accounts the same way — I knew my rules, and I broke them anyway. Every tool out there helped me find trades; nothing stopped me from blowing up when my emotions took over. Willpower failed me every time, so I built the thing that wouldn't let me. Tilt Guard is what I wish I'd had: something that holds the line when I can't.

Knowing your rules and following them are two different things. Tilt Guard holds the line when willpower won't.
