Break your trading rule.
Pay real money to charity.
Set your own trading rules once — session windows, stop-loss range, cooldowns, daily caps, news blackouts. Break one, and that account locks until you pay a real penalty to charity. No willpower required, just a contract with yourself.
NO SUBSCRIPTION · NO PREMIUM TIER · NO CARD REQUIRED
The Oath
You already know the rules. That's not what breaks the account.
Greed, overtrading, and oversized leverage don't happen because a trader lacks a strategy. They happen in the moment a rule gets bent "just this once" — and nothing in the moment stops it.
"One more trade" after hitting target
The daily goal gets hit, then quietly ignored, because there's no hard stop enforcing it — just a number you meant to respect.
Stop-loss creeps wider under pressure
A 1% stop becomes 4% mid-trade when the position moves against you, because the plan lives in your head, not in a system that holds you to it.
Straight back in after a loss
A stopped-out trade gets reopened within minutes to "win it back" — the exact pattern that turns one loss into an account-ending week.
Four steps, then it runs itself.
Set your oath
Define your session, stop-loss range, cooldown length, daily profit cap, news blackout, and your penalty amount — once, per sub-account.
Trade and self-log
Log every entry with your reasoning and stop-loss, then close it with the exit price and how you actually felt.
Break a rule, break the oath
The moment a rule is crossed, that sub-account locks. No new trades until it's resolved.
Pay the penalty, keep going
Send your penalty to charity, upload proof, and the account unlocks. Your streak resets — and you feel it.
Every account, streak, and rule — right where you can see it.
Days since last violation
Stop-loss guardrail
Range set to 1–3%. Flagged instantly outside range.
$50 target on $1,000
Every rule that's cost you money, turned into a guardrail.
Session lock
Pick Sydney, Tokyo, London, or New York. New trades are blocked outside your chosen window — you can still close what's open.
Stop-loss guardrail
Set a 1–3% range once. Any logged trade outside that range is flagged the moment you enter it.
Revenge-trade cooldown
A live countdown blocks new entries for a set number of hours after any stop-loss hit.
Daily profit cap
Hit your target — e.g. $50 on $1,000 — and the sub-account locks for the rest of the day. No creeping past the plan.
News blackout timer
A live countdown to the next high-impact release blocks new entries before and after it.
Charity penalty ledger
Every broken rule, its penalty, and your proof of payment — logged permanently, not quietly forgotten.
Streak counter
A running count of days since your last broken rule — reset to zero the moment a rule is crossed.
Islamic oath mode
An optional layer that frames your rules as a sworn oath, with reference information on the traditional ruling for breaking one.
Know what's coming, and what it tends to do to gold and BTC.
A live countdown to the next high-impact release, with a plain-language read on the typical historical reaction — not a prediction.
Typical historical tendency
Strong jobs data tends to strengthen the dollar, which historically pressures gold lower since it's dollar-priced. Weak data often does the reverse.
Reaction is less consistent — a stronger dollar and reduced risk appetite can weigh on BTC, but the correlation shifts depending on broader market mood.
This reflects general historical tendencies, not a prediction for this specific release. Markets can and do move the opposite way.
Built for traders who already know what went wrong.
Trading a fixed session with a real stop-loss plan
Lock your entries to one session, enforce your stop-loss range, and stop the account from creeping past your daily target.
Fighting 24/7 markets and no natural stopping point
Crypto never closes, so the daily profit cap and cooldown timer do the job a "market close" would normally do for you.
You know the rules — you need something that holds you to them
The streak counter and violation ledger turn "I'll do better" into something you can actually see and measure.
Wanting a religious layer of accountability, not just a habit tracker
Islamic oath mode frames your rules as a sworn commitment, with reference information on the traditional ruling for breaking an oath.
Questions traders actually ask.
No. TradingOath doesn't place trades or connect to your broker. It's a rules and accountability layer you set up yourself, and every trade is self-logged by you.
Time-based rules — session windows, cooldowns, news blackouts — are checked automatically against the clock. Rules like stop-loss size are checked against what you log when you open a trade.
You choose the charity and send the payment yourself, then upload proof inside the app to unlock trading again. TradingOath never handles or holds your money.
Yes — rules are editable per sub-account any time you're not locked out for an unpaid violation.
No. Anyone can use TradingOath's rule and penalty system. There's an optional Islamic oath mode for traders who want the additional religious accountability framing.
That sub-account stays locked for new trades until you upload proof of payment. You can still close existing open positions.
Yes. There's no premium tier or paid plan. Every feature described on this page is available to every account.
Any market you self-log: forex, gold, indices, or crypto. Session and news rules are most relevant to forex and gold, but stop-loss, cooldown, and profit-cap rules work for any instrument.
