Description
SessionLock β Your Rules, Enforced on Every Trade.
You know exactly what you should do. The problem is the moment you don't.
SessionLock enforces your personal trading rules and your prop firm's account rules directly inside cTrader β at the exact moment you try to place a trade. Before it reaches your broker. Before the damage is done.
How It Works
- Every order placed through the SessionLock panel is checked instantly against your strategy rules and your firm's account rules.
- Compliant orders execute normally. Violating orders are blocked β no spread paid, no drawdown moved.
- SessionLock also protects you from attempts to break your own strategy by placing orders outside the panel. Any such order is detected and closed immediately. This closure is a real transaction: it incurs its own spread/commission and brief market exposure. It is not free, and it is not instant β see Limitations.
Your Workflow, Unchanged
Charts, indicators, and your broker connection stay exactly as they are. The only change: you place orders through the SessionLock panel instead of the native ticket. Configure your rules once in the SessionLock web app, then every session is protected automatically.

Who This Is For
Funded traders and prop firm challengers who have a strategy, know their rules, and still break them when it matters most β after a loss, during a streak, near a limit.
If your edge is already there but your execution isn't consistent, SessionLock closes that gap.
Limitations
- Enforcement applies only to the linked account and configured rule set.
- Protection against orders placed outside the panel works by detecting and closing them after the fact, not preventing them from opening β this involves a real order at your broker before closure, with its own cost and brief market exposure.
- Some firms' consistency or anti-abuse rules may treat rapid open-close activity as flaggable β confirm your firm's current policy on third-party execution tools before connecting a funded or evaluation account.
- SessionLock enforces discipline. It does not generate trade signals, place trades on your behalf, or guarantee evaluation results.
Summary
Designed for funded traders and prop firm challengers, SessionLock helps maintain discipline during critical moments such as after losses or near risk limits. It supports order types including market, stop, limit, and stop-limit orders, and incorporates risk management tools like daily loss limits, max drawdown guards, equity stop guards, and overtrading prevention. The plugin operates within the existing cTrader interface without altering charts or indicators, requiring only that orders be placed through its panel. This approach aims to improve execution consistency by enforcing rules automatically while preserving the traderβs workflow.
