Fractal CoolDown
NinjaTrader 8 Add-on and Indicator
Real-time Risk Management for Futures Traders
Keep Your Emotions in Check for Smarter Trading
While trading, emotions can cloud our judgment and lead to impulsive decisions. Staying rational is key to learning from and profiting in complex markets. However, emotions react much faster than logic—emotional responses occur in just 12 milliseconds, while rational thinking takes 200-300 milliseconds.
That’s why it’s crucial to control emotional impulses. With Fractal CoolDown, you’ll easily track your risk limits during trades and automatically activate a cool-down period when you exceed those limits or hit your profit targets, helping you make decisions with a clear, rational mind.
Manage Losses
Don’t let the frustration of losing trades push you into bad decisions. The urge to recover losses can cloud your judgment and lead to more setbacks.
With Fractal CoolDown, you’ll stay in control by automatically pausing trading once you hit your preset risk limit, helping you prevent further losses and maintain a rational mindset.
Protect Profit
This gives you the opportunity to reflect, reset, and prevent emotional decisions that could put your gains at risk.
Visualize Risk in Real-Time
This dynamic visualization that automatically scales to your position size helps you stay focused and in control, ensuring you make decisions with a rational perspective as you trade.
Regain your rational mindset
Time to Cool Down
Losing a trade can trigger emotional reactions that shift your focus from strategy to chasing losses—a situation we’ve all faced. This reaction can cloud your judgment and lead to bigger mistakes.
Fractal CoolDown steps in when you hit your risk limit stop, automatically pausing your trades to give your mind time to reset. By disabling trading during the cool-down period, it allows the adrenaline to settle and helps you regain a calm, rational mindset.
Since everyone processes emotions differently, Fractal CoolDown is fully customizable, letting you set the perfect amount of time needed to regain focus and get back to smart, disciplined trading.
protect your profit
Profit Targets
During winning streaks, it’s easy to feel invincible—but just like losses, emotional highs can cloud your judgment. Overconfidence can quickly lead to giving back those hard-earned profits.
Fractal CoolDown helps you stay disciplined by automatically tightening your trailing stop as you reach profit targets, ensuring you lock in your gains and protect your success.
