We don’t kill TradingView charts. We cut broker access. During a blocked period we deny connections to broker domains/IPs and common bridge apps/endpoints (via Windows Firewall + hosts/DNS rules). Result: you can still analyze, but order routes (logins/placing/cancelling orders) won’t connect.
TradeStop blocks order routing by targeting the broker’s login/gateway domains and IPs—no API keys required. We ship with vetted presets for the most common futures/FX brokers, including: Tradovate, TradeStation, InteractiveBrokers, Binance, NinjaTrader, AMP Futures, Plus500, WeBull.
Want another broker supported? Email us at support@letstradestop.com with the broker/platform name. We’ll verify the endpoints and add it for you as fast as possible.
Yes - 1 manual unblock per day, with a 5-minute delay and a required written reason (to curb impulses). You can cancel during the countdown. You can also hit "Block now" mid-session to shut down broker access for the rest of the session if you feel discipline slipping.
No. Safety rails: one daily manual override. Uninstalling TradeStop cleanly restores firewall/hosts changes.
Blocks persist across restarts. Rules live at the OS level, so killing the app won’t restore broker access. Reopen TradeStop to manage/adjust sessions or rules.
TradeStop enforces blocks on the Windows PC where it’s installed. Phones and other PCs aren’t affected. If you can still place orders from a different device, you can bypass the guardrails. Mobile companion is on our roadmap to extend blocks to phones.
We never request your broker or TradingView logins, API keys, or passwords. Cloud data: your TradeStop account email, subscription status, device ID, your session schedules, and minimal event logs (e.g., when an override countdown started/was canceled/used). No browsing history, no order data. Local data: configuration and cached rules on your PC. Everything is encrypted in transit and at rest. You can delete your account to purge cloud data. Uninstalling removes local rules/config.
Free trial: 7 days, no credit card required, full features. When the trial ends, TradeStop simply stops enforcing until you subscribe.
Subscription: $4.99/month, auto-renews monthly. Cancel anytime from the app/portal. You keep access until the end of the current period and won’t be charged again.
Device use: One subscription = one active Windows PC. You can move your license by signing out on the old machine and signing in on the new one.
Uninstall: The uninstaller removes the rules we added (firewall/hosts), so blocks won’t persist.
