How Rule Enforcement Works

TradeReign connects to the user's authorized Tradovate account and monitors supported account activity from the cloud. When a configured rule is violated, it responds through Tradovate-supported enforcement actions.

During Commitment Mode, TradeReign's cloud worker continues enforcing your rules until the active session expires, even when the local app is closed or the trader moves to another supported Tradovate-connected platform.

Account-Level Actions

Rule enforcement can include warning, blocking, position flattening, account lockouts, or violation logging depending on the rule and settings.

Cloud Worker Persistence

Commitment Mode enforcement does not rely on one local browser tab or desktop session staying open.

User-Configured Rules

TradeReign enforces the limits and behaviors the user configures. It does not provide signals, brokerage services, or investment advice.

Blocking Mechanism

How TradeReign Blocking Actually Works

TradeReign does not sit in front of Tradovate as an order router and does not use OS-level website blocking. It monitors the connected Tradovate account and reacts when supported account activity breaks the rules the user configured.

In TradeReign, "block" usually means that if prohibited activity appears after a lockout or rule breach, TradeReign can automatically cancel related working orders, close or liquidate the violating position, record the violation, and keep the lockout active according to the rule settings.

1. Monitor

TradeReign connects to the user's authorized Tradovate account and monitors supported account activity from the cloud.

2. Detect

When account activity breaks a configured rule, TradeReign identifies the rule event from positions, orders, fills, and account state.

3. Enforce

TradeReign responds through Tradovate-supported API actions such as restoring protected stops or targets, canceling related working orders, closing or liquidating violating positions, recording violations, and maintaining lockouts during Commitment Mode.

Important Clarification

What TradeReign Is Not

TradeReign is intentionally described as rule-enforcement software, not a broker, firewall, order router, or performance guarantee. These limits matter because enforcement still depends on supported workflows, broker connectivity, account state, and market conditions.

!Not Windows Firewall, DNS, hosts-file, or endpoint blocking
!Not an upstream order router that intercepts orders before Tradovate
!Not a broker permission system
!Not a guarantee that every attempted action is impossible in all market, broker, or connectivity conditions
Commitment Mode

Rules Become A Binding Session

Commitment Mode transforms configured rules into a time-bound commitment. While it is active, TradeReign limits the usual escape hatches that traders may reach for when emotion takes over.

Rules cannot be loosened
Monitoring cannot be disabled
Account switching is restricted
Enforcement remains active even if TradeReign is closed
Enforcement remains active across supported Tradovate-connected platforms
FAQ

Common Bypass Questions

Does TradeReign intercept orders before they reach Tradovate?

No. TradeReign does not sit in front of Tradovate as an order router and does not use OS-level website blocking. It connects to the user's authorized Tradovate account, monitors supported account activity from the cloud, and responds through Tradovate-supported actions when configured rules are violated.

What does block trading mean in TradeReign?

Block trading usually means that if prohibited activity appears after a lockout or rule breach, TradeReign can respond by canceling related working orders, closing or liquidating violating positions, recording violations, and maintaining the lockout according to the configured rule.

Can I bypass TradeReign by using Tradovate Web?

No. During Commitment Mode, TradeReign enforcement remains active at the connected Tradovate account level, so supported Tradovate-connected activity remains subject to your configured rules.

What if I close TradeReign?

Closing the local TradeReign interface does not disable Commitment Mode enforcement. The TradeReign cloud worker continues monitoring and enforcing rules until the session expires.

Can TradeReign still enforce if I close the browser?

Yes, during Commitment Mode. Enforcement is handled by TradeReign's cloud worker, so closing the browser or local interface does not end the active monitoring session.

What if I restart my computer?

Enforcement continues independently from your local machine during Commitment Mode, so restarting your computer does not end the active lock.

What if I use TradingView or NinjaTrader?

TradeReign continues enforcing configured rules for supported TradingView or NinjaTrader workflows when orders route through the connected Tradovate account.

What happens if connectivity is interrupted?

TradeReign depends on broker connectivity and available Tradovate data/actions. If connectivity is interrupted, TradeReign attempts to keep monitoring through its cloud worker and reconnect logic, but it cannot guarantee that every attempted action is impossible in all market, broker, or connectivity conditions.
