Six rules, your thresholds
Discipline works both ways: stop when a loss hits your limit, and know when a profit has reached your target. Each rule tells you once per threshold, on the channels you pick, with a reminder line. The lines below are the defaults; you can write your own. Alerts state the numbers and never suggest buying or selling.
- Daily Loss Limit
- The day's loss against day-start equity, open trades included. Told at 80% and 100%.
- Limit hit. Trying to win it back on tilt is the shortest way to blow the account.
- 5%
- Pass Target
- Closed profit in the day, week or month.
- “Bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered.” — Wall Street saying

Open the app, the numbers are there
Every trade lands in your journal on its own, nothing to type. A position closed in parts is still one trade. Every time is in the zone you pick, GMT+7 by default.

FAQ
Does it cost anything?
It is free while in testing. If a paid plan comes later, you will be told in advance.
What is an investor password?
The view-only password of an MT5 account: it logs in and sees trades and balance, but cannot open or close trades. Your broker may have sent it in the account opening email; if not, set it in the MT5 app on your phone or on a computer (see Get started).
Does TradeCalmly trade or give signals?
No. The app never places orders and never suggests buying or selling. Alerts only report numbers against the rules you set.
What is the reminder line in an alert?
Each discipline rule adds a reminder at the end of its alert, by default a line from a well-known trader. Write your own or switch it off in the alert's settings.
Which brokers work?
Tested with Exness and Vantage. Other MT5 brokers: if your server is not on the list yet, the app files a request and emails you once it is added.
