LAYER 0Pre-Trade Firewall for Prop Firm Traders
Preventing psychological drawdown before capital drawdown.
Secure checkout via Gumroad — instant download.
Every NO is a risk flag.
Your strategy isn't the problem. Your state is.
Overtrading
Revenge trades
Self-inflicted losses
Most trading damage doesn't start with a bad setup — it starts with a bad state, one that's already active long before it shows up on the account.
“Stop being the gambler in the casino. Become the owner of the casino.”
The layer beneath every other layer.
In systems architecture, Layer 0 is the physical layer — the foundation beneath everything. Strategy, risk, execution, indicators are all layers.
Beneath them sits the one thing most traders never protect: your decision-making state. Layer 0 protects that.
Try it. 5 questions. 30 seconds.
See your current state before you trade.

What's Inside
The Core Manual
30-page decision manual with 15 sections: invisible drawdown, biology of bad decisions, post-loss protocol, identity separation, and more.
The Printable Execution Pack
Five tools: Daily Decision Framework (pre-trade checklist), Post-Loss Emergency Card, Weekly Layer 0 Review, 30-Day Layer 0 Tracker, and The Laws of Layer 0 (all 15 rules on one page).
In Development — Preview
PDF teaches. The app remembers.
The manual gives you the system. The app runs it — and shows you the pattern you can't see from inside.
Decision Memory
Your morning verdict follows you all day. The app doesn't forget what you declared at 8:55.
Pattern Mirror
A 30-day view of your decision quality, shifting from red to gold as discipline compounds.
Post-Loss Lockout
A real 20-minute countdown after a loss. Paper can't stop you at 9:31 AM. This can.
Account Guardrails
Enter your own drawdown and contract sizes. The verdict adapts to how close to the edge you are.
Rules-Followed Streak
A good day is not a profit day. Your streak counts the days that actually matter.
Damage Avoided
The app counts every impulse it interrupted — and estimates what those trades would have cost you. Most months, it pays for itself before the 10th.

Who It's For
Not for
- —Gamblers who need stimulation
- —Traders who want certainty
- —People who equate activity with productivity
- —People who want more trades, not better decisions
For
- +Traders who want friction between impulse and action
- +Who want to protect what their technical work builds
- +Who want to become interruptible
- +Who are done relying on willpower that's already failed them, more than once
If you've tried to fix this through willpower alone — again and again — and it hasn't held, that isn't proof trading isn't for you. It's proof you need structure your discipline can lean on, not more willpower to fail with.
Chasing fast money is chasing wind — it moves further away the harder you grab for it.
LAYER 0 exists for the exact moment your own discipline runs out. Not to replace your skill. To hold the line until it catches up.
From the Author
“I built this because I needed it — and didn't have it. As a new trader with too much access and too little experience, it nearly cost me six figures, and very nearly my family. This system is what I wish had stood between me and the market on the days I was the biggest risk in the room.”
— Peter G.

FAQ
Is there an app?
Not yet — it's in development. Join the founding list above to lock the founding price and get notified at launch.
Is this a trading strategy?
No. No setups, entries, exits, indicators, or signals.
How is this different from a trading journal?
A journal records what already happened. This intervenes before it happens — a verdict before the trade, not a review after it.
Will it improve my entries?
No. It protects decision quality and longevity — it doesn't make trading easier, it makes damage less likely.
What do I actually get?
Two PDFs: the Core Manual and the Printable Execution Pack.
Who is it for?
Traders who want friction between impulse and action.
What if I've already tried everything and failed?
Then you've probably been trying to fix this with willpower alone. This isn't more willpower. It's structure that holds when willpower doesn't — a different tool for a different problem.
