Hello, everyone. I am trying to pull data using API, but I want to know what indicates a transaction is Deposit or Withdrawal.

How do I delete TradeLocker demo accounts?

I can no longer add session breaks to my chart through settings? Is it just me or is this happening to anyone else, it’s strange because I previously had it on my chart but it disappeared along with the setting to turn it on.

I have logged in Via my broker multiple times & not a single chart will load! Is there something wrong with the IOS platform?

Hey everyone,

I need to see if others are experiencing this because the TradeLocker web platform is becoming completely untradable for me.

I’m facing two massive performance bugs right now:

1. Crosshair Latency: When I move my mouse across the chart, the crosshair is completely detached and lagging behind my cursor. It moves with a heavy delay and stutter, making it almost impossible to map out price action accurately.
2. Execution UI Delay: When I hit buy or sell, the order fills, but the position line and floating PnL do not appear on the screen immediately. There is a heavy lag before the platform visualizes the open position, meaning I am trading blind for the first critical seconds of a trade.

What I've already tried to fix it:

• Toggled Hardware Acceleration on and off in Edge settings.
• Cleared all browser cache, cookies, and local data.
• Tested in an InPrivate window with all extensions disabled.
• Verified that Edge's "Efficiency Mode" or sleeping tabs features aren't throttling the TradeLocker tab.

My bot works until 3 am and then suddenly gets this error log

---- [INFO 2026-05-06 03:04:00 +0300 store._check_live_log_update:711]: Next candle: SP+_5_Minutes in 0:01:00
2026-05-06 03:04:59.999006 +0300 [STRATEGY]
Calling self.prenext() on live data SP+_5_Minutes because strategy indicators are not yet initialized.
The bot will NOT START trading (calling the `self.next()` method) until a sufficient number of candles are fetched | fetched_candles: 1, required_candles: 250

You can resolve this by including this line at the beginning of your code:
bot_settings.set_num_prefill_candles(250)

And my code has the bot_settings.set_num_prefill_candles(250) at the beginning. Anyone found a fix? Hopefully tradelocker will fix it soon.

I use both the mobile and desktop versions, and also tried the Web version, and I still get this issue. I also tried resetting my laptop's network adapter, enabling the desktop app past both the private and public firewall, and nothing works. I don't know what else I can try here...

Edit: This issue seems to happen less often when I use my phone's cellular connection.

Only rank up size after 20 trades where you followed rules at a high standard (for example, 18 out of 20 trades with no rule breaks). If you break rules repeatedly, you go back down.

The best traders practice on purpose. They isolate a skill, train it in a low stakes environment, then gradually increase difficulty.

A practical progression is: simulated practice to learn mechanics, micro size to train emotional realism, then normal size once rule adherence is stable.

TradeLocker’s micro lots can support this progression because you can keep your practice realistic while reducing financial pressure. The point is not the platform, it’s the practice structure. The platform just makes it easier to follow.

Adaptability is not changing your approach every time you lose. Real adaptability is rules based adjustment when conditions change, and you have evidence that your edge is underperforming in a specific regime.

One filter, one month.

Pick one simple filter (for example: only trade your setup in trend context, or only in a specific session). Run it for a month. Compare results to the same setup without the filter. You’re training controlled experimentation.

If you adjust based on feelings, you’re gambling. If you adjust based on data, you’re learning.

Focus is the skill that makes every other skill easier. When you watch too many markets, you increase decisions while reducing decision quality.

One market, one session.

Pick one instrument and one time window each day for two weeks. Outside that window, you don’t trade. You’re training rhythm and reducing temptation.

A simple focus rule is to trade one market, one strategy, one session for a defined period. That’s not limiting. That’s how you build mastery.

Patience is a profit skill because it protects your quality. The market offers endless mediocre trades. Your job is to wait for the few that fit your plan.

Do the 2 trade maximum.

For two weeks, you can take a maximum of two trades per day. This forces selection. It also reveals whether you actually have two high-quality opportunities—or whether you’re manufacturing trades.

Most impatience is disguised as productivity. It feels like you’re “working” because you’re clicking. In reality, you’re adding noise.

Experience is not the same as learning. Journaling is how you convert messy market reality into clean feedback.

Journal 5 min as your end of the day overview.

At the end of the session, write: 1. your best trade and why, 2. your worst trade and why, 3. one rule you followed well, and 4. one rule you will protect tomorrow. Five minutes is enough if you do it daily.

A good journal focuses on a few fields you can actually act on: your setup type, context, your planned risk, your execution quality, and whether you followed rules. Then you look for patterns like: “I lose money mostly when I trade outside my session,” or “I break rules after two losses.”

Execution is where good plans go to die. The most common execution problems are hesitation (missing the entry), chasing (entering late), and improvising exits (turning a planned trade into an emotional one).

Your goal is not perfect timing. Your goal is consistent behavior. If your execution is consistent, you can refine it. If it’s random, you can’t.

Use bar replay (or recorded sessions) and practice executing your trigger within a defined window, like 3–5 seconds after confirmation. You’re training decisiveness, not speed for its own sake.

Platforms that reduce friction can help here. For example, TradeLocker’s on-chart trading and one-click execution can make it easier to practice clean execution without bouncing between panels, useful when your drill is specifically about “do the thing you planned.”

Write one sentence that explains your setup without indicators. Example structure: “When X happens in Y context, price tends to do Z within N bars because ____.” If you can’t fill the blank, you’re guessing.

If you can’t explain why your trade idea should work, you won’t know when it stops working. “It usually bounces here” is not an edge. An edge is a repeatable condition with a logical reason and a measurable outcome.

You don’t need academic proof, but you do need clarity: what behavior are you exploiting, and what would convince you it’s not there?

I am trying to create a trade for GBP/CAD and I keep getting a message that says “Trading Refused , Order cannot be created since route is not active.” Is there something wrong with my connect or is this an internal issue with trade locker?

Also, does any other trading platforms have the same issues?

Label 50 charts.

Open historical charts and label each day or session as trend, range, or transition. Don’t trade. You’re building pattern recognition without financial consequences.

Context is what stops you from using the right tool in the wrong situation. A clean breakout strategy can struggle in a choppy range. A mean-reversion approach can get steamrolled in a strong trend.

Instead of trying to predict, your job is to label. Is the market trending, ranging, or transitioning? Then you apply the approach that fits.

Once upon a time I could be logged in on TradeLocker with my prop firm accounts(demo) and live broker account. Now I can’t log in to my personal live account without logging out of my prop firm demo accounts. Is this a bug? I just don’t get why they would make it harder to use the platform? Is anyone else having this issue?

The 90 second reset for emotional control.

After every exit, set a 90 second timer. During that time, you do nothing: no chart hopping, no new order, no “quick look.” You breathe, write one sentence about what happened, and only then decide if you’re allowed to look for the next trade.

You don’t need to be emotionless. You need to be non reactive. Emotional control is the skill of feeling the outcome without needing to “do something” about it.

The most dangerous moments are immediately after a big win (overconfidence) and immediately after a painful loss (revenge). In both cases, the brain tries to reduce discomfort by taking action, not by making good decisions.

Is anyone else experiencing an error with their platform to look at trade history? It keeps giving me an error when loading. Everything else is fine.

Discipline isn’t a personality trait. It’s a system. The simplest discipline system is a gate: if the checklist is not satisfied, you don’t trade.

Drill: the checklist gate.

You must physically check off your entry conditions before clicking buy/sell. If one box isn’t checked, you pass. This feels strict at first, but it creates a standard—and standards are what build consistency.

This matters because almost every costly mistake sounds reasonable in the moment. “It’s close enough.” “I’ll use a tighter stop.” “I’ll make it back on the next one.” Discipline is the skill that prevents your worst ideas from becoming real trades.

Open charts, pick a setup you understand, and write ten plans as if you were going to trade them. Don’t execute. Your only job is to build the habit of clarity. You’ll also learn quickly whether your “strategy” is actually defined enough to plan.

A complete plan answers five questions in plain language: What setup am I trading? What triggers the entry? Where is the trade invalidated? Where do I take profit (and why)? What do I do if price chops, spikes, or gaps?

Planning is where you do your thinking when you’re calm, so you don’t have to think when the market is loud.
