885 real trades.
No enforcement.
Every account-ender a tilted trader can't stop doing, counted in one funded futures trader's own record. Detent is the layer that enforces against each one. It enforces the process, not the profit.
Built for the founder's own trading first
Detent wasn't designed as a product. The founder, a funded futures trader, built it because his own rules kept breaking under pressure, then ran it live on his own account before offering it to anyone else.
The stop autopilot's first confirmed save: the breakeven lock tightened a stop mid-trade and cut a full-R loss by about 46%.
Each bar is a behavior that ends funded accounts, counted from real fills. Detent blocks every one — the count is what happened without it.
The record splits cleanly in two: months traded inside a journaling structure, and months without one. Same trader, same markets — the average loss without the structure was double (−$514 vs −$248 per trade). The structure is what Detent enforces.
Mechanical auto-tags from the broker's own fill record — the behaviors, counted, not a simulation. The raw per-trade ledger stays private; only aggregate counts are shown. This is the record without enforcement; Detent is the layer that blocks each behavior at the moment you'd act. It enforces your process. It doesn't produce returns.
The discipline that produced this is the product
This is the founder's record. Detent is the enforcement layer that held it together, and the same layer runs on your rules.
What you're buying
Detent is deliberately narrow. Knowing what it refuses to be is most of the point.
Detent is
- Yours to keep and audit: every rule that fires is readable Python on your machine.
- Software you run yourself, on your own machine, against your own broker API.
- A configurable enforcement framework: every gate threshold is yours to set.
- At the broker-API level: it manages the position and stop no matter which UI opened the trade — and if you route orders through it, it can also stop a rule-breaker before it fills.
- Risk-reducing only: it tightens, locks, closes, and rejects. It never adds risk.
- Shipped with a working starting template: the founder's live configuration.
Detent is not
- A managed or hosted service. Your credentials, data, and feed never pass through us.
- A signal service or copy trading. It has no opinion on what you should trade.
- A bot that trades for you. Entries are always yours; it never places a trade.
- An alert app. Alerts ask; Detent acts. On your rules, at bar close.
- One-click setup. You plug in your broker API and configure your own rules.
- Overridable mid-session. That's the product.
That record ran on enforced rules, not willpower.
The same enforcement layer runs on yours. Waitlist members get early access and founding-member pricing.
