Get Started

How It Works During a Trade

Before the Trade

Set your risk parameters, trading hours, and other guardrails that match how you trade, standardizing your risk across trades.

When a risk limit, like daily max loss, is hit, opening new positions is blocked. But, you can always close the position or reduce position size.

See all rules

Entering the Trade

Plan your entry/exit before entering. Add a stop loss, or use bracket orders with multiple take profit levels.
Choose how much you want to risk per trade; position size will update as you move your stop loss on the chart.
Sync your limit entry order with the latest price to avoid slippage. Or, place a market, stop or stop limit order.

During the Trade

Easily change orders by dragging them on the chart.

Enable Level 2 liquidity chart overlay to see where big orders are resting.

Move your stop to break even with one click. Risk is tracked in real time, and alerts trigger if limits are reached.

After the Trade

Whenever a new position is closed, a new trade journal opens. You can use predefined templates or configure your own so you can keep track of your trading and figure out what's working and not working.

Bracket Builder with Templates

Stop guessing your exits mid-trade.

Multiple targets & systematic scale-out — Set multiple take-profit levels with different quantities at each. Scale out systematically—25% at target 1, 50% at target 2, 25% at target 3. Define your exit strategy once, execute automatically.

1 Click Bracket Orders — Use templates (stop-only, single target, multiple targets) or create your own. Drag your levels on the chart, submit once—entry, stop, and targets all execute together.

Risk per trade & auto position size — Adjust risk per trade while you build the bracket; position size updates automatically—the same way it does when you drag your stop loss—so tuning a new trade setup stays fast with less friction.

Auto Position Sizing

Stop doing math while the market moves.

Set your risk per trade (dollar or percentage). Dragging your stop-loss on the chart automatically calculates your position size.

No spreadsheets. No mental math. No rounding up because the setup "looks really good." The system enforces your predefined risk on every single trade.

Pre-filled Trade Journal

You can't improve what you don't track.

Journal prompt opens automatically when you close a position with trade details pre-filled. Choose from pre-built templates or define your own—setup type, execution quality, emotions, what worked, what didn't.

30 seconds per trade. Builds a library you can review over time.

Stop repeating mistakes because you forgot what happened.

Liquidity Levels Overlay

Stop guessing where liquidity sits.

The liquidity indicator uses Level 2 data displayed as a heatmap to easily identify clusters of large orders. See where institutional and other large orders are, right on the chart. This helps you spot potential stop loss sweeps and key support / resistance levels.\n\nRequires TradeStation Level 2 data feed subscription.

Mobile-Optimized Trading

Trade anywhere without breaking your rules.

Full functionality on mobile. Manage positions, place bracket orders, and monitor your account on the go.

Your risk parameters travel with you. Whether you're on desktop or mobile, the system enforces the same rules.

Why PrecisionTrader?

vs. Native Broker Platforms

Most broker platforms focus on order execution, not rule enforcement. PrecisionTrader adds the discipline layer that's missing.

Automatic position sizing based on risk
Enforced daily loss limits
Trading hour restrictions
Automated trade journaling

vs. Journaling Apps

Journaling apps help you reflect after the fact. PrecisionTrader helps you follow your rules in real-time, before mistakes happen.

Prevents rule violations instead of just tracking them
Pre-filled journal prompts (trades auto-populated, quick review)
Integrated with your actual trading account
Real-time risk monitoring

vs. Sticky Notes & Checklists

You can write your rules down, but nothing's enforcing them. PrecisionTrader automatically blocks trades that violate your limits, even when emotions take over.

Automatic enforcement, not just reminders
Blocks trades outside your trading hours
Prevents exceeding daily loss limits
Enforces position sizing rules

vs. Youtube Gurus

Instead of just following someone else's signals, PrecisionTrader helps you define your own strategy, rules, and risk.
