TopstepX and Tradovate Tilt Control for Prop Traders
TopstepX and Tradovate traders can reduce tilt risk by limiting the extension to trading URLs, monitoring rapid order-entry clicks, and using cooldown warnings before emotional re-entry.
Open the prop firm risk-control hubWhy the URL limit matters
Tilt Blocker is intentionally limited to topstepx.com and tradovate.com trading hosts. That keeps the extension focused on the web sessions where the trading-risk behavior can actually occur.
A narrow URL surface also makes future platform calibration safer because every detector can be tested against specific trading screens.
- Runs only on matching URLs
- Avoids broad browsing permissions
- Keeps testing focused
- Supports TopstepX and Tradovate first
What the extension watches first
The first-pass watcher is conservative. It looks for likely order-entry controls such as buy, sell, flatten, close position, submit order, market, and limit labels.
As real platform testing improves, those generic labels can be replaced or supplemented with more precise selectors.
- Buy and sell controls
- Flatten and close-position controls
- Submit order controls
- Rapid repeated clicks
How to test safely
Always test in sim or replay first. The extension only affects local browser behavior, but the trading platform itself is still live-capable.
Use the console logs to compare what the watcher thinks it saw against what you actually clicked.
- Use demo or sim mode
- Watch console logs
- Record false positives
- Tune selectors before funded use
Session template
- Test platform detection in sim or replay before trusting it near a funded account.
- Compare watcher logs with the control you actually clicked.
- Tune only after collecting false positive and missed-signal examples.
Mistakes to avoid
- Testing warning behavior on a live-capable account first.
- Assuming every generic button label is a safe signal.
- Ignoring watcher evidence after a false positive.
FAQ
Common questions
Does Tilt Blocker run on all websites?
No. It is limited to topstepx.com and tradovate.com trading hosts.
Does it trade through TopstepX or Tradovate APIs?
No. The current build watches browser behavior and shows warnings. It does not use broker APIs.
What should I test first?
Test order-entry click detection in sim mode and compare console logs to the buttons you actually clicked.
Test the warning layer where the trades happen.
Tilt Blocker is intentionally scoped to topstepx.com, tradovate.com, and www.tradingview.com/chart trading hosts, then watches for conservative order-entry signals in the browser. It runs locally on topstepx.com and tradovate.com trading hosts, and the lifetime pass is the primary way to install the guardrail.
