BEHAVIORAL RISK ENGINE FOR NINJATRADER 8
Put the rules between
the impulse and the order.
Set your risk rules while you are calm. Trade Shield helps make them hold when the session gets emotional—governing daily loss, tilt, trading sessions, account limits, and prop-account constraints before risk reaches the market.

WHAT TRADE SHIELD DOES
Discipline that still holds
when willpower does not.
Trade Shield turns the limits you choose ahead of time into operational guardrails during the trading session. It is built for the moments when one more trade can become the wrong trade.
01
Holds the daily line
Set the loss boundary that ends your day. Trade Shield keeps that rule in force when the temptation to recover it is strongest.
02
Interrupts tilt
When risk behavior starts to spiral, Trade Shield can warn, pause, or stop the session before frustration compounds the damage.
03
Controls trading sessions
Choose when the account is allowed to trade so an off-hours impulse does not become an unplanned position.
04
Protects prop progress
Keep the profit target, high-water mark, trailing drawdown, and account constraints in one clear risk view.
05
Caps exposure
Position limits provide a hard ceiling against oversizing, fat-finger entries, and the urge to increase risk after a loss.
06
Governs manual and automated trading
Apply the same account-level limits to discretionary decisions and automated strategy activity.
TILT DETECTION + TRADE BLOCKING
It sees the spiral.
Then it stops the next trade.
Trade Shield warns you as emotional trading behavior approaches the lockout threshold. If it continues, new entries are blocked and a timed cooldown takes control.
Detects
Recognizes when trading behavior is moving toward tilt.
Warns
Interrupts the moment before another emotional entry.
Blocks
Stops new entries and holds the cooldown in place.
Risk can still come off. Exits remain available while new entries stay blocked.

GOOD TO KNOW
Before you put
the shield up.
Is Trade Shield available without the full FLB Suite?
Yes. Trade Shield is available standalone for $29.99 per month. It is also included with FLB Suite and FLB Pro.
Does Trade Shield replace protective stops or judgment?
No. Trade Shield is a behavioral risk and account-governance layer. Every open position still needs an appropriate protective stop and responsible oversight.
Can it help with prop-firm evaluations?
Yes. Trade Shield keeps pass-target progress, high-water-mark protection, trailing drawdown, and daily account constraints visible and governed.
Does it work with automated strategies?
Yes. Automation-account controls allow the same account-level guardrails to govern automated order flow.
