Its better to manage your trades manually if possible or try using VPS service if you can afford it.

Hi, I am being a bad kid...Is there any option or way to limit number of trades per day? Also any option to set hourly trade limit? I use mt4 platform. I want to get rid of my over trading habits. It would be nice, if I cross the limit, someone do not execute any of my trades or platform get locked automatically, something like that? Can broker do that? Please help me with your ideas. Thank you Regards

{quote} Trying self control for long time mate. Now its time to deal it in hard way. Plus when we have the option to use technology then why not.

{quote} I'm not being funny, but if you can't exercise self control you really shouldn't be trading. There's a lot more self control required than setting a timer. How do you control yourself then, to not take every trade on a 1 min time frame over 28 pairs; to not take revenge on the market after a loss; to walk away when there's major fundamental shit about to hit?
