How it works

From the click to the broker,
every order takes the same path.

This page walks through exactly what Dixpliner does with an order, what it does after the order is open, and what it does to the account around it. Nothing here is hidden behind a setting you cannot see.

01In plain words

Dixpliner in sixty seconds.

If you read nothing else on this page, read this. Everything below is detail.

What it is

A checkpoint that sits between your trading terminal and your broker. You write a trading plan once. Every order you place goes through Dixpliner first, is checked against that plan, and only reaches the broker if it passes.

What it does

  • Sizes each position from your risk rule and places the target from your R:R.
  • Blocks any order that breaks a limit: daily loss, session hours, trade count, open positions.
  • Moves your stop to breakeven automatically and cancels stale pending orders.
  • Watches the account for trades placed behind its back, closes them and scores you.
  • Journals everything, including the orders it refused and why.

What it is not

Not a signal service, not a bot, not a copy-trading feed and not a journal you have to fill in by hand. It never decides what to trade. It only decides whether the trade you chose is allowed by the rules you wrote.

Five words you will see everywhere

Trading plan
Your rules: session hours, risk per trade, daily loss limit, trade caps, instruments, targets. One per account.
Rule check
The pass-or-block decision every order goes through before it is routed. Under 200 ms.
Settings window
The only time the plan can be edited: weekends, and 21:00 to 22:00 GMT on weekdays.
Discipline monitor
A scanner that closes any position Dixpliner did not place and takes 10 points off your score.
Dedicated instance
Your own isolated server with its own IP, running the connection to your MT5 account.
02The problem

Traders don’t lose to the market.
They lose to themselves.

A losing day is normal. What turns a losing day into a blown account is what happens after the second loss — and that part is remarkably consistent.

Anatomy of one bad daySession log
  1. 09:14Trade 1 — plan followedCorrect pair, correct session, 1% risk. Stopped out.−1.0%
  2. 10:02Trade 2 — plan followedSame setup, same size. Stopped out again.−2.0%
  3. 11:37Trade 3 — size doubled“I just need one good trade to get back to flat.”−4.0%
  4. 14:20Trade 4 — outside the planA pair you do not trade, taken because it was moving.−6.5%
  5. 16:05Trade 5 — stop loss removed“It will come back.” Position held into the close.−11.2%

Trades 3, 4 and 5 all broke a rule the trader had written down themselves. Every one of them was accepted by the broker without a word.

The plan was never the problem

Almost every blown account had a written plan behind it. The rules were fine on Sunday evening. They just were not there when it mattered.

Willpower is a depleting resource

It is strongest before the session and weakest two losses in — exactly inverted from when you actually need it.

Nothing stands between you and the button

Your broker will accept every rule-breaking order without hesitation. The terminal has no opinion about your plan.

03The approach

Stop relying on discipline.
Remove the choice instead.

Dixpliner is not a journal, a coach or a reminder. It is a mandatory checkpoint on the path your orders already take — and it is the only piece of that path you cannot argue with.

Your terminal

Web app, mobile or MT5

Dixpliner

Rule engine + discipline monitor

Your broker

MT5 or cTrader, live account

Order passes every rule

It is sized from your risk setting, routed to the broker and journalled automatically. You never notice Dixpliner is there.

Order breaks a rule

It stops here. The broker never receives it, the violation is logged, and your discipline score takes the hit instead of your balance.

Enforced server-side

The check does not run in your browser, where it could be closed or bypassed. It runs on infrastructure you cannot reach mid-session.

Rules lock during trading

You set the plan on weekends or from 21:00–22:00 GMT. During active hours it is read-only — you cannot loosen a limit while you are inside a losing trade.

Back-door trades get closed

You still hold your broker credentials, so you could open MT5 directly. The monitor detects any position Dixpliner did not place and closes it automatically.

One dedicated IP per account

Every MT5 account runs on its own isolated server instance with its own IP, designed to reduce shared-IP conflicts. Prop-firm terms change, so always verify your firm’s current rules.

04The order path

Twelve steps. Nine of them can say no.

The checks run in this order. The first one that fails stops the order, and its reason is printed on the ticket. If all nine pass, the last three shape the order and send it.

01You fill the ticket

YOU

Instrument, direction, entry and stop loss. You do not type a lot size or a take-profit: both are derived from your plan a few steps later.

02Account gates

CAN BLOCK

Is the account frozen by an external-trade lock, paused until a payout date, or paused by you for the day? If any of these is active the ticket is refused before a single plan rule is read.

03Profit targets

CAN BLOCK

If closed P&L for today already reached your daily target, or this week’s reached the weekly one, the day or week is over. Copied trades on alias accounts obey the same check.

04Session hours

CAN BLOCK

The order must land inside your start and end time. Outside the window it is rejected with the session printed on the ticket.

05Daily loss budget

CAN BLOCK

Closed losses today, plus the risk on every open position, plus the risk of this order, must stay under the daily limit. A winning day uses none of the budget: only realised losses count against it.

06Max open positions

CAN BLOCK

Only positions still at risk are counted. A position whose stop already sits at or beyond entry is free, so moving to breakeven earns you room for the next trade.

07Max trades per day

CAN BLOCK

A hard cap on orders per calendar day. Wins count the same as losses.

08Candle confirmation

CAN BLOCK

If enabled, the order must be placed inside the first 20% of the current candle on your chosen timeframe. Otherwise the ticket shows a countdown to the next candle.

09Entry checklist

CAN BLOCK

Every required item on your checklist has to be ticked. The submit button stays disabled until it is.

10Sizing

SHAPES ORDER

Lot size is computed from your risk per trade (a percentage of balance or a fixed amount) and the stop distance, using the broker’s contract specs. The take-profit is placed at your R:R multiple of the stop distance.

11Routing

SHAPES ORDER

The order goes to your broker through your dedicated MT5 instance or the cTrader gateway. From check to route takes under 200 ms.

12Journal

SHAPES ORDER

The trade is recorded with its rule outcome. Blocked orders are journalled too, with the exact reason, so you can see later where the plan saved you.

Passes

Sized, routed, journalled. You never notice Dixpliner was there.

BUY 0.42 EURUSD @ 1.0847 · SL 1.0812 · TP 1.0917 · risk 1.00%

Blocked

The broker never receives it. The ticket shows the reason in full, and the attempt is journalled.

Daily loss limit of 3% has been reached from closed trades. You’ve lost 3.20% today. Come back tomorrow.

05After the order is open

The plan keeps working while the trade runs.

Most rule-breaking happens after entry: the stop gets widened, the target gets pushed. These four run on the open position without you.

Auto-breakeven

When price covers a set share of the distance to your target (50% by default), the stop moves to entry. The position stops counting toward max open positions from that moment.

Pending order timeout

Pending orders older than the number of minutes you set are cancelled automatically. Off by default.

Stop and target edit guard

You can move a stop, but not to a level where the worst-case daily P&L would breach the daily loss limit. After a profit target is reached, only edits that reduce risk or lock in profit go through.

Copy to alias accounts

If the account is a master, the trade and every breakeven move are mirrored to its alias accounts, each sized by that alias’s own risk basis and blocked by that alias’s own plan.

06Around the account

What stops you going around it.

You still hold your broker credentials. These four are what make trading around Dixpliner expensive enough that you stop trying.

The settings window

The plan can be edited only on weekends (UTC) and between 21:00 and 22:00 GMT on weekdays. Outside that window every rule is read-only. The same window governs resetting your discipline score and changing the 2FA vault.

Sat–Sun (UTC) · Mon–Fri 21:00–22:00 GMT

The discipline monitor

A scanner checks the open positions at your broker every minute. Any position Dixpliner did not place is closed and logged as a violation. A weekly sweep of the deal history catches trades that opened and closed between scans. Manual stop or target edits made at the broker count too.

Score starts at 100 · −10 per violation · reset only in the window

The external-trade lock

One trade placed at the broker instead of through Dixpliner freezes the account for a week. A second one during the lock extends it. Existing positions can still be managed and closed; nothing new can be opened.

1 external trade → 7 days locked

The broker 2FA vault (optional)

Store your broker or prop-firm authenticator seed in Dixpliner, encrypted. The login code is only shown during the settings window. Mid-week, you cannot log into the broker terminal to trade around the plan, because you cannot get the code.

Code visible: weekends · 21:00–22:00 GMT

07Where it runs

Your own instance, not a shared pool.

One instance per MT5 account

Each MT5 account gets its own containerised terminal on its own server with its own IP. Nothing is shared with another trader.

cTrader through OAuth

cTrader accounts connect through the official Open API. Dixpliner never sees your cTrader password; you can revoke access from cTrader at any time.

Checks run server-side

The rule check does not run in your browser tab, where it could be closed or edited. It runs on infrastructure you cannot reach mid-session.

Credentials encrypted at rest

Broker passwords, OAuth tokens and 2FA seeds are encrypted in storage and used only to maintain the connection to your own account.

08Why it works

This is not about discipline. It is about removing the choice.

01

Willpower is not a trading strategy

Every trader who has blown an account had a plan. Willpower runs out mid-session, when you are down 2% and the market is moving. Rules that live only in your head do not survive contact with a live trade.

02

The problem is not your strategy

Most funded traders who lose an account know exactly what went wrong. They took one more trade after the limit. They held through the stop. The strategy was fine — the execution was not.

03

You need infrastructure, not motivation

Journals, accountability groups, trading psychology books — none of them stop the order from going through. When enforcement lives at the server level, the argument with yourself never even starts.

“The trader who wrote the plan and the trader who breaks it are not the same person. Dixpliner just makes sure the first one wins.”

Your strategy makes the decisions. Dixpliner makes sure you follow them.
