Almost nobody loses money because they cannot read a chart. People lose trading at the wrong hours, doubling up after a loss, or entering out of boredom on a Friday afternoon.
This screen lets you write those rules while you are calm. Later, Onyx Guardian reminds you even when you would rather not hear it.
What you can set
Days and time windows you trade, in your local time.
Maximum trades per day.
A mandatory wait after closing a loss — the antidote to revenge trading.
Streak brake: after several losses in a row, it stops you for a while.
Closing before the weekend, to avoid the Sunday gap.
The important question: what if I try to skip it?
Just warn me: you see the warning and decide. Nothing is blocked.
Make me wait: you can skip it, but first you wait the minutes you set. Usually that is enough.
Lock me until tomorrow: no way out. Pick it only if you mean it.
Why everything is logged
Every time you break a rule it is recorded. That record is the point: at the end of the month you see how often it stopped you and how often you overrode it.
MetaTrader does not let an EA block an order before it is sent. If you trade outside your hours, Onyx closes it within a second or two — and that entry cost you the spread. That is the friction.
