Command for an EA to disable manual trading?

Hi, I want to write an EA that will disable any trading if I reach a max loss for the day. I will load the EA on a VPS and give the psw to my wife so that I will not be able to modify it. I am tired of ruining my account in 1 day for lack of discipline!

How can I write the EA in order to stop me from trading for the day? Do you know a command I can use for this purpose or a workaround? It should stop any manual and automated trading.

Thanks in advance if someone can help,
Puma

If you can't handle to close your platform when you want to stop trading, I would highly suggest you to quit trading at all ... before ruining your life.
