FAQ
TraderBlaid works with 27 platforms including Tradovate, NinjaTrader, TradingView, thinkorswim, Webull, and all major prop firms. No API keys required.
3 full sessions, no credit card. The complete product — real-time AI signals, session review, circuit breaker, Guided Learning, Rule Lock. Cancel anytime.
Set your max daily loss. When you hit it, TraderBlaid automatically flattens every open position across all your Tradovate accounts simultaneously.
The desktop app is the recommended experience — your broker loads inside it, TraderBlaid sits alongside it, and everything works together without juggling tabs. If you're on Windows, the Chrome extension works in any browser while we finish the Windows build.
TraderBlaid's Error Decoder watches for broker error messages and instantly translates them into plain English — what it means, why it happened, and the exact fix. No Googling mid-session.
Yes — Guided Learning is built specifically for traders who are still learning their platform. It overlays plain-English labels on every control, explains jargon as it appears on screen, and debriefs every trade the moment it closes. You don't need to know anything going in.
Yes. Rule Lock enforces 7 hard pre-trade rules + 1 soft profit-target warning: max contracts per order, trading hours window (with timezone), symbol whitelist/blacklist, tilt lockout score, max trades per hour, and minimum seconds between trades. A daily-loss circuit breaker runs separately. The trade is blocked at the click before your broker sees it. One-click presets load the rules for Apex, TopstepX, MyFundedFutures, FTMO, Tradeify, and Lucid. EXIT orders are never blocked so you can always flatten. Hard pre-trade blocks are most reliable on Tradovate-based brokers; on other brokers, time-based and tilt rules still apply, and contract-size and symbol rules warn you in-app if they can't enforce.
Guided Learning turns your broker into an interactive classroom. Hover over any button, chart, or indicator for 1.2 seconds to get a plain-English explanation of what it does. Works across supported broker platforms. Includes interactive quizzes, achievement badges, and XP progression. Free features work without any AI credits.
The moment a position closes flat, TraderBlaid shows a coaching card — three plain-English points covering what you did, whether the entry/exit was sound, and one specific action for next time. It fires automatically while the trade is still fresh. No extra setup.
15 badges awarded for learning milestones — first element learned, 10 elements mastered, first green day, 7-day streak, full graduation, and more. Each badge awards XP; level up every 500 XP. Share your progress card directly from the app.
Every 60 seconds while Guided Learning is enabled, TraderBlaid reads your chart and writes a plain-English sentence — trend direction, candle pattern, and market mood. Jargon terms (VWAP, ATR, DOM, etc.) are highlighted as clickable pills that expand their definition inline. Core+ feature.
Quite a bit. The dashboard includes: a Trading DNA Card (your statistical fingerprint — best time/day, average winner/loser, kryptonite setup), Copycat Coach (what your best sessions have in common), Community Benchmarks (how you rank vs other TraderBlaid users), cross-session pattern intelligence (10 detectors including revenge trading, size escalation, session sweet spot), and a weekly AI-written performance letter every Sunday.
Yes. The Pre-session Plan lets you set your bias, key levels, and setups before the open — forcing clarity before money is on the line. The Morning Ritual is a timed pre-session checklist with a daily streak counter. The morning brief shows upcoming economic events that could affect your session. All three are available before you place a single trade.
Yes. After strong sessions, a shareable discipline score card appears with your score, grade, streak, and session stats — ready to post to X/Twitter. Guided Learning also has a shareable progress card showing what percentage of your broker's UI you've mastered.
Clips is a trade-aware screen recorder built into the broker overlay. Click Record (or enable Auto-record and it fires the moment you open a position), get a 3-2-1 countdown, and the recording is saved as a WebM with branded watermarks to your local Videos folder. When the trade closes green, a win sound plays, your clip-streak counter ticks up, and you earn achievement badges at 1/3/7/15 consecutive green clips (🎬 🔥 ⚡ 💎). Share cards after every recording: save directly to your Journal with a caption, post to any Trading Room with your own caption, or one-tap share to X with contextual tweet text that reads your realized P&L and current streak. Trade Killcam (60-second pre-buffer auto-saved on losing closes) is also live — no extra setup needed. Facecam with a reactive P&L ring is shipped too. Choose from 9:16, 16:9, or 1:1 formats.
Every build is Apple-notarized and code-signed with a verified Developer ID, and the source binary is published with SLSA build provenance — you can cryptographically prove it came from our official CI pipeline on a specific commit with a single command (gh attestation verify TraderBlaid-x.y.z.dmg --owner TraderBlaid). The app.asar is integrity-checked at launch using an embedded Electron fuse: a tampered binary will refuse to run. Updates download silently in the background, and an Install pill appears in the top nav when a new version is ready — one click to restart. Releases ship over a staged rollout (10% → 50% → 100%) so a broken build never reaches you at scale — and we can instantly pause a bad build without re-shipping.
Credentials are encrypted by Electron safeStorage, which stores the key in your Mac's keychain — the same secure enclave password managers use. They never leave your device and they're never synced to our servers. When a broker login page loads, the picker reaches you four different ways so it's never lost: (1) it auto-opens as soon as the login form mounts, (2) a 🔑 icon sits next to the email field, (3) a "Fill login" pill lives in the broker overlay footer, (4) Cmd+Shift+L opens it from anywhere. One click fills your username + password and submits. Touch ID is an optional second factor in Settings — off by default because your credentials are already encrypted in the OS keychain. Turn it on if you share a Mac.
