What you just experienced
You didn't even have to install anything.
TradingPact is a cooldown system for traders. You define your risk pacts, lock them for a set duration, and if you try to change them impulsively—at 2 AM, after a losing streak, when you're sure this time is different—the system forces you to wait.
Escalating delays. Partner gatekeeping. A friction ladder designed so that by the time you can actually change your pacts, you no longer want to.
What the stages do
Most impulsive unlock attempts die at Stage 1. The ones that don't rarely survive the partner gate. The system is designed to make you quit—because quitting is the right decision.

The problem
“I know my max is 2% but this setup is perfect. Just this once, 5% won't hurt.”
Risk exceeds 2% policy limit (requested 5%)
“I'm down $800 today. One more trade to break even. I can feel it.”
Daily loss limit reached (-$800 / -$750 max)
“It's 3 AM and gold is moving. I'll just watch. Okay, one quick scalp.”
Outside session hours (03:12 UTC / allowed 08:00-16:00)
Willpower fails at 2 AM. Spreadsheets don't lock themselves. Trading journals only work after the damage is done. TradingPact doesn't teach discipline—it enforces it. You set the pacts when you're thinking clearly. We make sure they stick when you're not.
How it works
Abandoned unlock attempts — anonymised
EURUSD breakout — wanted to increase risk to 5%
“I was absolutely certain the trade was right. By hour 8, I'd already closed the chart. Woke up the next morning and the pair had reversed. Would have blown 3 weeks of gains.”

Revenge trade after -$1,200 day — wanted to remove daily loss limit
“My partner texted me: 'You told me not to let you do this.' That was it. I cancelled. The $1,200 loss stayed a $1,200 loss instead of becoming a $4,000 one.”

NFP Friday — wanted to trade during news blackout
“I set my session hours to exclude NFP Fridays because I always overtrade them. Six hours later I was glad I couldn't override it. The spread was 40 pips.”
