The problem

You don't break your rules on purpose.

You set the stop where it belonged. Then the trade went against you, and moving it felt like the reasonable thing to do. It does every time.

Every rule you have is a promise the calm version of you made to the version who won't be calm. The calm one writes it down. The other one is holding the mouse.

Nothing on your screen is built to stop the second one.

What Detent is

Detent is a desktop app on your own machine that enforces the risk rules you set. Set the limits once; in the trade it won't let you cross them. That's the whole product.

In session

You know these clicks.

Detent runs beside your trading platform, watching your orders and your positions. Click a move to see what comes back:

The trade's going against you. You reach for the stop.
Blocked — stops only tighten.
You just took a loss. Your finger's already back on buy.
Flattened — a cooldown is running after a loss.
You want out of the position. Now.
Filled — Detent is built never to block an exit. Only new risk.

An illustration, not a live connection — nothing here places or cancels an order. The rules are real and the thresholds are yours; they hold while Detent is running and connected. How it works →

Real trades. You make the call.

Same candles either way — your choice only moves the stop, and the stop decides what you keep.

The give-back

Real trade, anonymized. Second by second, exactly as it happened.

Stop-loss: the price you're auto-exited at to cap a loss. Take-profit: where you auto-exit to bank a gain.

Real trades, anonymized. Dollar figures assume a 50k account. Your actual result against what Detent’s own rules produce on these exact bars, replayed from the tape. The thresholds those rules use are not shown. Not typical, not advice.

The limit holds even when you want to lift it.

The honest limit: it only holds while Detent is running and connected — your stop still lives at your broker as a real order, so it survives a drop. The fail-safe →

A detent is the notch that holds a throttle until you deliberately push past it. Same idea here: a limit you'd have to choose to lift — so you don't cross it on tilt.
