PipLock AI: Trading Discipline

Stop revenge trading. Stop overtrading. Lock yourself out.

PipLock AI is the trading discipline app built for serious traders who know their rules but struggle to follow them. Set your daily limits, activate a challenge, and PipLock physically overlays your broker app the moment you try to break them.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Set your trading rules: profit target, max daily loss, max drawdown, max trades per session
2. Activate a challenge (funded account, prop firm, or personal)
3. PipLock monitors your session in the background
4. The moment you hit your limit — a fullscreen overlay locks your broker app
5. You can't trade past your rules. The discipline is enforced.

FEATURES

🔒 Killswitch — Fullscreen overlay that physically blocks your broker app (MetaTrader 5, MT4) when you reach your daily loss or trade limit. No willpower required.

⚡ FOMO Gatekeeper — Before you open your broker app, PipLock makes you confirm you have a valid reason to trade. Forces intentional action.

🤖 AI Trading Planner — Generate a personalized trading plan for the day using AI. Chat with your AI coach about your trading mindset, rules, and discipline.

📊 Challenge Tracker — Set up funded account challenges (prop firm rules) or personal challenges. Track profit/loss, drawdowns, and winning streaks over time.

📈 Trade Limit Alerts — Orange banner when you approach your daily trade limit. Visual friction before you break your rules.

🔔 Smart Notifications — Market open/close alerts, session reminders, daily check-ins.

WHO IS IT FOR
- Prop firm traders following strict funded account rules
- Retail traders struggling with revenge trading or overtrading
- Anyone who wants to enforce their own trading system with hard stops

AI FEATURES (Pro)
The AI coach is powered by a secure server-side proxy — your conversation is never stored permanently and the API key is never exposed in the app.

Pro users get 3 AI plan generations + 20 chat messages per day.
Trial users get 2 + 5 per day (7-day free trial included).

TECHNICAL NOTE
PipLock's optional Screen Reading feature uses Android's Accessibility Service only after you enable it and accept a separate in-app disclosure. It detects supported broker apps and, while one is open, reads visible accessibility fields to extract balance, equity, floating profit/loss, margin, open positions, daily trade count, and an account number if shown. These values are processed on your device to check your rules and control PipLock overlays; numeric snapshots are stored in the app's private local storage. This Accessibility Service does not send screen text or extracted broker values to PipLock servers or third parties. During an active Killswitch lockdown it intercepts Back and Recents key presses. It does not take screenshots, record keystrokes, or read passwords. You can decline and use another broker connection method, or disable the service in Android Accessibility settings.

The "Display over other apps" permission is required to show the Killswitch overlay above your broker app.

NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE
PipLock AI is a discipline tool. It does not provide trading signals, investment advice, or account management. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions.
