Survive Month One and Stop Revenge Trading, Without Changing Your Entry Strategy.

The hatched zone is where the lockout keeps you out of the market until the next trading day.
You know your strategy works. So why does the account keep blowing?
Every Friday it's the same: a margin call email, and a quiet plan to find another ₦80,000 evaluation fee before your family notices the money is gone.
- You bought another $50 challenge, promised yourself discipline, and blew the whole account in 48 hours after one bad trade set off a revenge spiral.
- You watched a red dashboard, felt the adrenaline, and doubled your lot size to "make it back." Weeks of work gone in one swing.
- You barely passed Phase 1, then broke your daily drawdown limit in Phase 2 the moment the account was "funded" and the pressure hit.
- You spent months hopping from ICT to Price Action, sure your analysis was broken, when your position sizing was the real problem.
- You lie awake adding up what you've burned on retakes this year, and it could have funded a live account on its own.
None of this means you aren't smart, and the market isn't rigged against you. Rules you make when you're calm don't hold when you're down and angry. You don't need more discipline. You need a limit that acts before your emotions do.
You already know the 1% rule. The rule isn't what fails.
Every trader you know can say "risk 1% and stop at your daily limit." Knowing it doesn't stop you doubling your lot size when you're angry, because that's exactly when the part of you that follows rules switches off.
So this kit doesn't ask you to try harder. It takes the decision out of your hands: at a 2% daily loss, the EA acts.
It's a defensive tool, and that's the point. One revenge day of −5% to −10% can erase one to two weeks of +1% days. Keep your bad days near 2% and your strategy gets the time it needs to reach a payout. Your entries can't make money on an account that's already gone.
How the lockout works
-
Install it once
Copy the MT4 (.ex4) or MT5 (.ex5) file into your terminal's Experts folder: File, then Open Data Folder, then MQL4 or MQL5, then Experts. The guide shows every click and is built to get you set up in about a minute.
-
Close the phone loophole
Bonus 4 shows you how to set investor-level credentials on your phone during trading hours, so the app can't be used to place trades after a lock.
-
Size every trade at 1%
The calculator turns your account equity and stop-loss into an exact lot size. At 1% per trade, it takes two full losses to reach the 2% limit.
-
The EA takes over at −2%
It closes open positions, cancels pending orders and blocks new ones for the rest of the trading day. You don't have to decide anything.
Exactly what you get

The 72-Hour Drawdown Lockout Protocol
The lockout Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, plus the rules that go with it. An EA is a small program that runs inside MetaTrader. This one doesn't trade for you. It watches your daily loss and locks the terminal at 2%.

Questions traders ask first
What exactly do I receive: software or just a guide?
Both. You get the lockout EA files for MT4 (.ex4) and MT5 (.ex5), a risk sizing calculator (.xlsx or Google Sheets), a printable Adrenaline Audit Sheet (PDF), an illustrated installation guide and the Password Randomization guide (PDF). Everything is sent to your email through Selar straight after payment.
Can I get around the lock when I'm angry?
No tool can make that impossible, because it's your computer. What this does is put real steps in your way.
On desktop, once you lose 2% in a day, the EA closes open positions, cancels pending orders and blocks new orders for the rest of the trading day. On your phone, Bonus 4 shows you how to set investor-level credentials so the app can't place trades. Getting around all that takes deliberate effort. A revenge trade normally takes one click.
Will my prop firm allow it?
Most prop firms allow risk-management tools, and this one doesn't trade for you or give signals. Rules on Expert Advisors do differ from firm to firm, so read your firm's EA policy or ask their support before you install. Nothing in the kit needs your prop firm login.
What if my firm uses cTrader, DXtrade or Match-Trader?
The automatic lockout EA is built for MetaTrader 4 and 5 only. The calculator and the Adrenaline Audit work on any platform, and the kit includes manual lockdown rules you can follow on other platforms.
Does it work on a Mac or on my phone?
On Windows, yes. On a Mac, yes if you run MT4 or MT5 on it, through a native build, Parallels or Wine. The EA can't run inside the phone app, which is why Bonus 4 covers the phone side.
Is this a trading bot? How does a defensive tool help me get paid?
It isn't a trading bot and it gives no signals. Many challenges aren't lost on strategy. They're lost on one emotional day of −5% to −10% that erases one to two weeks of +1% days. Keeping bad days near 2% gives your strategy time to reach a payout.
It can't turn a losing strategy into a winning one, and it doesn't promise you'll pass a challenge.
I already know I should risk 1%. Why not just use my own discipline, for free?
Because knowing the rule and following it under stress are different things. The rule fails when you're down and angry, which is exactly when you'd need it. This kit enforces it for you.
Do I need to code? How long does setup take?
No coding. Copy the .ex4 or .ex5 file into your Experts folder (File, Open Data Folder, MQL4 or MQL5, Experts) and follow the illustrated guide. It's built to get you set up in about a minute.
Can I use it on my own live account instead of a prop firm?
Yes. The math of drawdown is the same on a $500 personal account and on a $100,000 funded evaluation. The 1% sizing and the 2% lock protect either one.
How do I know FXAthena is legit? Do I share my login?
You never share account numbers, passwords or broker logins. The files run on your own computer, inside your own MetaTrader. Payment and delivery run through Selar, and you have 30 days to get a full refund.
You can also email us any question before you buy: superfunctional6@gmail.com.
Why ₦9,900, and how does the refund work?
Traders who are already paying evaluation fees shouldn't have to choose between protection and their next account, so we priced it low. For a refund, email us within 30 days for any reason and we refund 100% of your ₦9,900 through Selar.
Should I wait until my next challenge?
Set it up before you put challenge money at risk, so the lock and your sizing habits are already in place when the pressure starts. The ₦9,900 price is for the current launch batch and will go up once it closes.
Set your limit before your next trading day.
Install it once. The next time you hit 2%, it acts before you do.
