SessionLock
Getting started

Configure Your Strategy

Let SessionLock read your strategy and extract your trading rules automatically.

Before your session starts, you give SessionLock your strategy. It reads it, extracts enforceable rules, and locks them in. You trade. The rules hold.

Do this before the market opens

Configure your strategy while you are calm — before any session begins. Once a session is active, rules cannot be edited. This constraint is intentional.

Open the Strategy tab

In the SessionLock sidebar, click Strategy — or go directly to /trader/strategy.

Strategy tab in the SessionLock sidebar

Create a new strategy

Click the New Strategy button in the top right corner of the page.

Enter your strategy details

A popup appears with two fields:

  • Strategy name — give it a clear name (e.g. "London Breakout – FTMO")
  • Strategy content — paste or type a plain-English description of your trading approach: your entry rules, session times, risk parameters, and any prop firm rules you must follow
Strategy name and content fields

Analyse the strategy

Click Analyse Strategy Blueprint. SessionLock reads your strategy and extracts enforceable rules — max trades, lot size limits, allowed instruments, daily loss limit, and news buffer.

This takes a few seconds.

SessionLock analysing the strategy

Review every extracted rule

The analyser produces a starting point. Read each rule before proceeding — adjust anything that does not accurately reflect your actual trading plan.

Activate and lock the strategy

If the extracted rules look correct, click Activate & Lock Strategy.
