01 · BEHAVIORAL ACCOUNTABILITY

Set your rules when you're calm. We enforce them when you're not.

The System is your trading constitution. It watches every click, tracks every lapse, and steps in when discipline starts to crack. Three strikes, COACH SAYS check-ins, guided resets, and automatic lockouts turn your rules from good intentions into enforced reality.

Most traders don't blow up because they lack a strategy. They blow up because, at exactly the wrong moment, they stop listening to themselves. The System makes that impossible. You write the rules when you're rational. MAKETZO enforces them when you're not.

SESSION STATE MACHINE

Seven states. One disciplined day.

Every session flows through the same seven states. Each one enforces the rule that matters at that moment — automatically, before your worst impulse beats your best plan.

01 · Pre-Market

Open

5:00 — 9:30 AM ET

You arrive, you review yesterday, you set your max-loss and your daily targets. Calm planning, no positions yet.

Rules applied: Lock daily max-loss before the bell. Acknowledge prior-day strikes before any order entry. No setups before 9:00 AM ET.

02 · 1st Check-in

8:30 AM

First COACH SAYS

An hour before the bell, COACH SAYS surfaces yesterday's mistakes and reminds you of the rules you set when calm.

Rules applied: Acknowledge yesterday's strikes. Confirm today's max-loss is still locked. Note any open emotional residue from the prior session.

03 · Profit Lock

2X Lock-In

After hitting 2× target

Hit twice your daily target? Size shrinks automatically. You keep trading, but at a fraction — protecting the win.

Rules applied: Size reduces to 50% post-2X. No new instruments after the lock-in. Walk-Away option surfaced on the next entry.

04 · Triple Hit

3X Hit

After hitting 3× target

Three times your target. You've had a great day. The system asks — quietly, then firmly — to consider walking away.

Rules applied: Walk-Away prompt fires. One-click session end — no friction to stop winning. Strike audit required before any further entry.

05 · 2nd Check-in

10:30 AM

Second COACH SAYS

Peak emotion window. COACH SAYS surfaces your current P&L, your pace, and any rule breaks. Slow down or sharpen up.

Rules applied: Pace-check & strike audit. Revisit setup quality, not P&L. Guided reset recommended between trades.

06 · Max-Loss Hit

Stop Trading

When daily max-loss is breached

You hit your max-loss line. New orders are blocked. You can journal, but you can't trade. The rule is the rule.

Rules applied: Order entry disabled until tomorrow. Journal entry required before tomorrow unlocks. No paper-trading bypass during the lock window.

07 · Three Strikes

Lockout

24-hour cooldown

Three rule breaks in one session and the platform locks for a full 24 hours. Tomorrow you come back sharper. Today is done.

Rules applied: Full platform lock · 24 hrs. Discipline streak resets to zero. Re-onboarding state machine on return.

COACH SAYS

The voice in the room that doesn't flinch

Two scheduled check-ins. One job: drag the rules you set when calm back into the room exactly when emotion is loudest.

10:30 AM · TUE

Two losers in a row. Step into a reset — a timed breathing session to re-enter the zone before your next setup.

Streak12 days

Session P&L-$240

Strikes2 / 3

Two firings. Both deliberate.

COACH SAYS doesn't nag. It fires at exactly two moments — once before the bell, once mid-morning — when your rule-following is most fragile.

It reads yesterday's session, your active rules, and your current state. It surfaces what matters. It stays quiet otherwise.

8:30 AMPre-bell prime. Yesterday's strikes, today's max-loss, the rule you broke last.
10:30 AMMid-session check. Your pace, your P&L, and any rule break currently live.

STRIKE SYSTEM

Three strikes. Then the rule is the rule.

A single bad trade is human. A repeat pattern is a habit. The strike system lets you wobble — but only so far.

First Strike

COACH SAYS surfaces the rule you broke. Trading continues. You've been seen, not stopped.

Second Strike

Size reduces to 50%. The cost of breaking rules goes up before the day is lost. Most traders stop here.

Third Strike

24-hour lockout. New orders are blocked. You can journal, you can review — you can't trade.

Why three? Behavioral research is clear: a single warning gets ignored, a single stop feels punitive. Three steps gives you the room to be human while removing the room to spiral.

RESET PROTOCOL

The space between good trades

Most blow-ups happen between setups — the overtrade, the revenge entry. The moment MAKETZO catches you tilting, it points you to a Reset Protocol: a guided way back to the zone before you click.

Reset Protocol · Active

2:30

time remaining · breathe until baseline

A protocol, a breath, a way back.

When COACH SAYS and the State Machine catch you trending toward overtrading, MAKETZO triages the moment and surfaces the right Reset Protocol — a guided breathing reset with a live countdown ring, your own anchors, and the soundtrack — to break the tilt before your next setup. Ignore your rules anyway, and the Strike System steps in with a hard 24-hour lockout.

It's the small structural intervention that costs you nothing on slow days and saves you everything on hot ones.

24-HOUR LOCKOUT

The kill-switch you set for yourself

When three strikes hit, the platform locks. Not a soft warning — a hard 24-hour stop. The version of you that's losing doesn't get to keep trying.

SESSION LOCKED

Three strikes. Trading is closed for the day.

23:47:12

Journal access is still open. Use it to write down what went wrong while it's fresh. Tomorrow's COACH SAYS will surface it for you.

WHAT YOU ACTUALLY GET

Sessions that build on each other

The System isn't a feature you flip on. It's the architecture of how a MAKETZO session works. Here's what it produces.

▲

Streak Preservation

Days without a max-loss break compound. Your streak is a number that matters more than any single P&L.

Max-Loss Adherence

The line you set when calm holds when it's loud. Hard-blocked at the engine level.

●

Discipline Score

A weekly composite of strike rate, rule adherence, and session completion. The number that reflects skill, not luck.

✓

Fewer Bad Days

The worst sessions don't compound. Three strikes and the day is over before it ruins the week.
